here in southern california its probably one of the more popular cars on the road, they are everywhere. i am sure if you go to rural america it would be a lot different but around here they are very popular. i like them a lot better than the 3 series; better lines, more fun to drive and they just look nicer inside and out in my opinion.

wonderfully engineered, beautiful to drive, well crafted weeds. there aren't any weeds that are nearly as entertaining or valuable as my C230 and those get in you put in jail.

Come to a mercedes forum and ask this question, chances are we love mercedes.

Go to a bimmer forum, chances are they love bimmers




Bimmers and Mercedes are everywhere no matter where you go.
Its what you do with it and which you're happier with. Cant get
more real than that.

Fortunately, I've only seen a few other C's in my area. Give it another year and I bet they'll be everywhere...

I haven't seen that many (one or two a week), but I think that's because it's a little less affordable up north here.

Sorry guys ...

didnt mean it like hey every ten seconds you see a c class or a 3 series but what i mean is that there will always be one around. You're right though give it some time and you will see more.

I live in Alaska and i see more 3's than the new C's but only because the C's are 08+.

BMW and Mercedes
I really like the w204 C350 and C63......they really got it right IMHO this time, though I wasn't sure until I actually saw one in person. Wasn't ever a big fan of the w203 except in C55 form, so this may be my future/next ride....

An opposite opinion, w203 is stylish, true Mercedes. Anyway W204 is a good car, much better in driving than previous generation.

I don't see many w204 C's in this area believe it or not. There are an overwhelming amount of 3's.

Yes, it's a great car that is why I have one.

It has got the attention of BMW drivers, most glances and thumbs-up seem to come from them.

I have had compliments from a number of BMW drivers so far and a few from defected W203 owners who are thinking of returning to MB.

I've had mine for a year and can't believe how many I see on the road now in the Toronto area. It's a great car!

Ya, my wife and I drove through a parking lot at night by the beach. There was a nice new white 335 and the guys were just hangin out by the car as we drove by them. They just stood there staring. Our car is white too. I loved every second of it.

If you like profomance more then ride quality and interior and options then the BMW is for you. If you like a sweet ride and all the features plus a very classy car over proformance then the C is for you. What do you like?

Keep in mind both are great, each car is just better at what it does.
