this is funny.. all these non-w204 owners debunk the wow-factor of the new C class, and yet...
they are all congregated in the w204 forum, reading these posts. so subconsciously, they are actually proving this very theory to be true.
i mean, hell.. i don't visit any sub-forum except for this one. and yet, here are these people claiming that the attention will subside, "w203 FTMFW w204FTMFL," etc etc etc... but in the end, they are the ones reading the posts related to a car that they do not own.

Only reason I posted in here was because I saw the title of the thread. The truth of the matter is every single place I've gone to where there was a new C Class, it was always females stopping to say, "It's adorable" or "it's so cute" or "that looks like a fun car".
So I'm just basing my reaction on what I see and reporting it back to you all. Take it for what you want, just sharing.

I don't get the chick car comments either. I asked my dealer what the ratio of men to women was on the new C and he seen mostly males, but did say that the E class seems to be primarily driven by more and more women, although he wouldn't call it a chic car (nor would I).
FYI, Forbes did a list of the top 10 cars luxury cars driven by women:
1. BMW Z4
2. Audi A3
3. Volvo S60
4. Volvo V70 and C70
5. Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ
6. Volvo S40
7. Audi A6
8. Land Rover Range Rover Sport
9. Cadillac SRX
10. Lexus IS

One of my very good female friends mentions safety everytime she sees the car.

My Boss (yes, another female) and I saw one the other day and I told her it was the new C Class. Her first reaction, "OMG, that's sooo nice. It's beautiful." I started laughing just thinking of this thread
.I mean, no matter what it is, anybody that needs their car to get chicks obviously needs help with their game. Only reason I got my w203 over all my other choices is because I loved the way it looked (and especially after all the mods).

I think theres 3 reasons I get looks in my car...
1. There are heardly any on the road. I have only seen 3 others in the Boston area so far. General public have no idea what kind of Mercedes it is
2. It is a benz, and especially when all clean and shiny people naturally look at it, like BMW, Lexus etc
3. It 's sexy car, plain and simple. I am EXTREMELY fussy when it comes to cars. And my car in palladium in my opinion is the nicest looking car under $ 50k. Thats just my opinion
Its funny because I definatly notice a lot of people (including women) checking it out. Last night some guy in a pickup nearly caused an accident he was staring so hard. We were at 1 red light side by side and he was looking pretty hard at it. So when the light went green I decided to accelerate so he could get a better look at the rear. At the next light he came to a complete stop in the middle of driving to pull up next to me and get a better look. He just gave me the nod of approval

Welcome Elaine!!!
I saw a show the other day where they investigated the power of the chick magnet ability of cars. It was quite interesting, what they found was that really exotic cars were more guy magnets then chick magnets. They tested with a Mercielago. Sorry if the spelling is wrong.

Reelax there, girl. I was just pokin' fun. Has nothing to do with me being sexist. It's just a common stereotype. If you find it offensive, then I apologize.
