my sales told me that germany will get a 300 HP C class during may production
and it will comes to Canada at least a couple months later, should I go for another car just for the 30 HP ?
Also
4 Matic will not get paddle shifter
I live in Vancouver, there isn't a lot of snow, but I am scared that I will skid on hills
and stall like the Jags
I am driving the bimmers
and is really having trouble with all season tires
4 matic or not
omg
wat should i get

3.5 in SL? so its badged as SL350?>>
Correct. See the 24 April issue of Auto Motor und Sport.
SL350 on the back. Not coming here, of course. The additional HP may be due to a different exhaust system or a sharp pencil.

There is so a SL350, has been for years....in Europe.
http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080131....elift-revealed
There is even a SL280 now with the same engine from our SLK/C300 models.

Engine options include two six-cylinder models, the SL 350 and a new SL 280 (170 kW/231 hp). The stalwart SL 500, with a V8 engine, and SL 600, with a V12 engine, will also feature in the new range.

<<benzlvr2500 sez the engine comes from the SLK350, theres no such thing as an SL350>>
$1000 says you're wrong.
My post quoted the German magazine and pointed out that it is not a US model.
Pay attention.

Please dont lable everyone the same.
As for liar's, sure some people may lie, I can tell you custmers will lie too.
I dont get offended, cus they are just nervous. The way the car industry was 10yrs ago is diff then now.
Iv always been trained to NEVER lie. It will do more harm then good. You know what, its true. My clients trust me and send referrals, that's how you make it in the business.
Im sorry to hear you have had bad experiance's but I take pride in what I do.
On one other point, keep in mind the sales rep has to know all 13 models plus all the cars under each model plus all trims and features, Plus rates,residuals, prices, colors, availble stock, new and used, and every month new programs.
Oh and mileage on pre-owned cars, feul economy, and compeditors.
The client offten time's needs to know the car there buying and some compeditors. Do you see what I mean.
I can tell you it really is not easy to sell cars.
If you go in next time just be honest with your sales rep, show him or her respect and hopfully they will do the same, if not find a new rep.

I'm about to order a 2009 C350. I saw the order form...no way to order memory seats, no way to order a different engine...just the same options as this year...same colors, same interior. I have no idea what will actually be on the 09's that isn't on the US 08's...but at this point in the year, it's foolish to buy an 08 unless they give me a really big discount.
We've reached agreement on a fair price...and he says he can deliver one in July (he showed me that it takes 28 days from the build date for it to reach the dealership)...if MB releases them as soon as they get here, of course.
I'm sort of holding on just in case something leaks out in the next few days...

So we are left to wonder if the US 350 will get the 10 way seats, the memory seats and the power adjustable steering column...the burl walnut on the dash and what about this new dynamic Handling option? Lots of features from P1/P2 seem to be standard in the Canadian 2009 as well....rain sensing wipers, bi-Xenon lights,.....
I was hoping for the 305hp engine, but with the price of gas, maybe it's just as well they are using the same 350 in 2009.
Surely someone can find the US version of this information.....

I think the compass is lame, been around over a decade now, only shows N,S,E,W, and the inbetween points. What good is that unless you are doing the P to D.
