The Audi is now my wifes car...she basically drives all my "hand me downs" although the Audi only had 15k on the clock. She is a far cry from an enthusiast, so she is perfectly happy driving the cars I buy and like. Prior to that, she was driving an E60 BMW, and E39 BMW...All were my primary cars at one point.

But comparing the two, I find the Audi's steering to be very numb. It's very responsive, but without much feedback. Coming from a long line of BMWs, it was a big change. The steering feedback from the Merc is right in line with the BMWs. I don't like the Servotronic steering so much on the Audi.

Other than that, although they are the same "class" its a bit like comparing apples and oranges being that my Audi is a Quattro. On heavy rain days it feels like you are driving on dry pavement! Also, since the Audi is a 2.0T...it's a 4 cylinder...and it definitlely sounds like a 4 cylinder (not a very intimidating sound coming from the hood or exhaust lol)

Thanks for your feedback, Itcrashed. Would you buy another Audi?
My brother-in-law is looking into buying an A4, but I am trying to persuade him to getting a C300/C350 instead.

Just ordered mine. Will be assembled in Germany sometime in May and won't be here till June Dealer said there's an offchance that the factory might switched it to the 2009 model!

C300 Sport, Arctic white, 18"AMG rims, Pano roof, P1, black MBTex. I plan on getting the rims PermaStar black chromed. Now just have to find clear side markers... Oh and bought mine through Costco auto program. $400 above dealer invoice

Will post pics as soon as I get it.

Ok everyone - I've got some questions. The new C-class is growing on me, but has no one purchased one with the burl wood trim inside AND the wood/leather steering wheel? I'd like to see this combo because I personally think more wood is a necessity as there is so much missing compared to the last generation C-class... Once again, my opinion.

Secondly (and lastly) -- I noticed there is a large amount of frosted plastic surrounding the headliner lights in the cabin... what is that there for? Does an ambient light shine through at night time driving like the E-class?

Many thanks! ...as my lease gets ever closer to the end ;-)

- Eric

Here's a pic of mine. It's not very good.
But I also thought that the wood was a necessity, and I am very happy with my choice. It looks great on the doors and the center console.
