Attracting the wrong attention
<<I agree with all of the above! I live in Miami and even though the streets are flooded with cars that are much more significant than the C, my Mars Red C350 seems to always be the center of attention!>>
I have had a few compliments about my Barolo red/Beige/18s C300 which are appreciated, but I would just as soon go unnoticed. Especially by the po-leece.
Stay the hell away from my car is my unspoken motto.

Here in LA the new C might turn a few heads...just as much as a CLS, S550 or SL etc. (Benzes are like GM products in this region) On a daily basis I see dozens of Ferrari/Lambo/Bentley/Aston....its a different ball game here I guess. In a different city the C may be more cool then compared to the armpit of CA. Oh and I see a lot of women driving them....but then again I see women driving Bentley GT's, S63's, F430's, 911's, SL55's etc.

Big and Heavy 03 CL
Gimme a break. The attraction to this thread by other class owners is because of the thread caption.
Branch out folks, read the other threads, we discuss some very interesting things...not about if we get noticed by the other sex in our cars...but interesting nonetheless. The new C is a very nice looking car, sexy lines, a little beefier looking than the previous model, but certainly not a "chick" car. "Chick" car defined as : a car being driven solely by women or a great concentration of, or "chick" car: a car that attracts the female sex.
I get the same looks in my CL as I do in my 99 Saturn POS. Are they thinking the same thing? God that's a sweet CL or Holy cr@p that Saturn is a piece of *****!
I think it is wishful thinking on your part if you think he or she is checking YOU out...it's the car, it's nice looking, and it's new to the roads. Get over yourselves.
Gotta go now...in the CL forum we are discussing whether boxers or briefs make our packages stand out more in jeans.

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
When my girlfriend saw mine, she said, "you could get so much tail with this thing." I thought it was funny.
Anyway, we are the bottom feeders here. I was looking around the site in the "real mercedes" threads and realized I am a wannabe. Don't dare take the emblems off of your C or put AMG emblems on it. The former means you are hiding the fact that you can't afford a real mercedes and the latter, which is silly and not likely for most, means you're a poser.
I came into this thinking I was a European car enthusiast who wanted to modify something a little different than what I am used to. I am confused though....is a poser someone who works on their car to make it better, faster, etc., or someone who just buys a fast car?

I was merely joking about some posts I saw in other areas of this site where such words and thoughts were tossed around by some who seem to spend their way to legitimacy. A little snobbish, I thought. No biggie.
I was reminded of seeing guys around town with STIs or EVO VIIIs, bragging about how fast the car is that they bought, vs some people I know who build fast cars. Fast is not the issue; it's just an example.
We are not bottom feeders. I was just making ridiculous joke to point out some ridiculousness.

I bought mine because my MB dealer was the fastest one to push the car out. I went to BMW, AUDI, Infiniti and MB, and told them who ever can hand me over the key the fastest will have my business.
Well, it's not entirely true. I kinda hoped that it'd be MB, because 1) This model will be around for at least 6 years after my purchase, so I don't have to look at a W205 and sigh anytime soon. 2) Many 20 something male BMW drivers in my area are motherless, tasteless snobs and I don't want anything to do with them. 3) A4 was on its way out. 4) There's something about G37's finish that just bothers me. 5) W204 has the perfect balance of comfort and sporty, being a looker yet not too flashy, IMO
As far as getting looks in W204...I really wouldn't know because I keep my eyes on the road when I drive.

I was watching this lady walk her dog around my car in a shopping center parking lot. my first thoughts were "ooh lady you better not let your dog pee on my tires!" then i realized she was doing a 360 around my car and checking it out. when she was walking away her head was still turned around staring at my car. i chuckled to myself because this is the same stuff we talk about on this forum all day long.

Not at all true! How can you say you are a bottom feeder? There are much faster cars out there that are less expensive than yours. Hell, you could buy an SRT Neon and have pretty much the same options and maybe more performance. You chose MB because of what it represents, and what it says about you. You prefer quality, comfort, history, sophistication and class. I drive a CL500 which is big, slow, and kinda boaty...but I LOVE her! I could have had a fast GTO or Corvette for the money but I chose the same thing you did. A poser does nothing to modify his/her car except for some badging to fool the average man...you won't fool a MB man or woman though. You drive a great cat, be proud. Take a look at some of the forums and see the pride people have in their cars...even the 15 year old diesel that is hard to keep running...you see it there too. We don't own our cars to get us from point A to point B...there is soo much more to it, don't you agree?

i try to leave my car within eyeshot of the restaurant window when i go for lunch. i would say about 75% of the time somebody walks past my car, they at least give it a 2nd or 3rd look. i think it's because of the unfamiliar design and relative scarcity of the w204's on the road right now.
