W204: A standard returned.
Having not only viewed the new C up close, but having driven as well, as a long time MB(ex-disenchanted after the dark ages) the new C has bought me back into the fold. I'm extremely impressed with the build and mechanical quality of the new C. I have a hard time liking or considering any of the new C's competitors when this car reminds me of the car company that I grew to love so much from childhood, and the quality of MB's in those days.
To the point it seems as if MB has designed this car to be cheaper to maintain than your typical MB with the more simplistic/less complicated features and the superb build. I was wondering if anyone had the same perception, or maybe there are some that have some sort of insight?
