Yep, just came back from there. Interesting event, to say none the less. Basically got to drive around for about 1-2 miles around a couple of city blocks. I would definitely go to the dealer and check it out there if you want to see what the car can do.
On the invitation, they said to bring an iPod, but at the event, the lady in charge said they didn't have the cables to connect.
Good hors' dourves by the way and they had a couple of different sponsors/vendors at the event.

08 C300 4-Matic, P1 P2 MM iPod Kit
Went to the C-Drive today and tooks some pics. Not the best quality as taken from a BlackBerry camera phone. Decent event, nice setup and a great day out. They had a showcase in the Union Station.
Drove around the block a couple times for the driving event. I must say the difference between the C300 and C350 didn't seem much different. Couldn't really get on it much in the city but the C300 did move pretty well to my suprise. Brakes are very touchy but you get used to them. Punched it on a sharp turn and gripped the road very well.
The driving position is quite nice and has a good feel. The car really feels solid. All had the mulitmedia and I actually wanted to see the standard radio...
The black C looks stunning. Liked the white as well. I'm not a big fan of red colors but the C actually looks really good in red. Don't really care much for the silver or grey, not as stunning.
LED rear turn signals are red? Wish they were yellow but didn't look bad. Rear taillights without the LED did not look great, too Camry like and plain. The LED on the mirrors are very tiny and cannot really see during the day (I could see them on my 05 much better).
The wood on the C350 and C300L were pretty nice. The aluminum trim was ok in the C300S but wish wood was an option, looks too plain. Liked the all black interior but didn't care for the black/grey two tone which I looked forward to seeing. The grey looks cheap as in my 300C does. Really like the sport black headliner, feels sporty and I guess kind of cozy? Rear seat room is much improved although entering and exiting is still not as easy. Once your in it's ok (I'm 6ft).
Really nice car but will have to wait to test the 4-matic before deciding...now on with the pics...
