2008 C300 Sport & 2008 E320 Bluetec
New C class at Princeton NJ this Friday

I was at the Princeton Mercedes Benz dealer today looking at the E320 and I asked the salesman when they would have the new C class, and he said it will be here Friday for test drives only. I reserved a spot for next Monday, I will let you know what I think and hopefully get some picstures while I am there. The dealer is located on Route 1 northbound side if anyone is interested in going by to take a look.

They're already at Downtown LA Mercedes and at Beverly Hills Mercedes right now (only the C300 Sport demo cars), for anybody in the Los Angeles area. I assume other LA MB dealerships will have them in tomorrow or the next day. Both dealerships called me up earlier today to schedule a test drive with them but I haven't had time to go out there yet. I'll try to get out there tomorrow and snap some pics.

Went in for my free car wash at MB Laguna Niguel today and found the C300 sport demo sitting on the lot. Snapped the shots with a crappy camera phone. Sitting next to the E350, it looked to be the same size.

Oh yeah, I also caught one on the road yesterday, in Mission Viejo, with Distributor plates on it (the silver one).

Yeah, but maybe we'll get some time with the cones on a wide open lot? Can't do that on a test drive.

Ghetto2315...do you work at Ray Catena? I bought my C240 and my Boxster S from Ray Catena. Still the best service I've ever received. Do you have order guides available yet?

Yes, I do work for Ray Catena. Thank you for your compliments. Service is our first priority so I do appreciate it.

No order guides just yet... soon though. Very soon.

So I went to go see it tonight. I gotta drive it...not for the reasons you think. I'm not impressed by the exterior. Its nice, its new....but nothing about it gives me that feeling of "I just gotta dump my W203 for it". Just doesn't have that aggressive stance like the w203. I have to see one with the panoroof, rear deck spolier, and drive it. Cuz right now, I'm a lil disappointed.

What has the interest been like so far? Are people placing many orders/deposits?

Hey I purchased my CLK and my older C Class from Ray Catena. I remember when I was buying the C-Class, I actually met Ray Catena himself. I remember he told me I had the first C230 on the East Coast (1997 C230 purchased in September 1996). Any idea with what kind of discounts (if any) you are planning on seeing on these?

Thank you for your business... I am sure Ray appreciates it.

As for the discounts... they will be close to non-existent for the first couple of months to maybe a year. Even myself as an employee of Mercedes-Benz, they will not give us a DEPP pricing (Employee Pricing) just yet...
