Does anyone have the race results of a match up betw. these two? My wife had a 2006 E350. The C350 feels so much quicker, and more nimble. We love it!

If they are using the same engine and trans, I would think the C would pull away from the E simply due to weight. I believe the C is supposed to be 6.1 sec to 60 vs. 6.5 for the E.

i can say that off the line the C will take it :P
at least from what i've "seen"

Both being a MB i'm sure you can't go wrong with either but i think the C is much sportier and has that "younger image" along with it i've also driven an E and it feels much slower to me. IMHO

i have an E350 4matic and i took it to the dealer for service (under warranty) and I received a C300 4matic and the C just feels so much faster and more nimble. It accelerates so much quicker and handles much better than my E. Even tho my E has more power, the extra weight lags it down. However, the interior of the C seems inferior to the E. The dash and surrounding parts just feel and seem so cheap and plasticy (sp) on the C.

O sorry I didnt know that you were looking at Race Results. The C350 is much more sporty and feels it too. The E350, like TheGreatOne45 says, has a more classy interior. The C class is a sporty-er car in general. IMO its not "cheap," just not as "luxurious."

Heres a huge table of many cars' zero to sixty and oher stats btw.

Also keep in mind that the C was just made in the past couple years, whereas the current E is at the end of the generation, so the newer tech/ideas is in the C.

However, for someone who wants an E, they are a good deal right now.

I'm not liking the looks of the new E, from the released photos so far. And no new engines for it, the same carryover engines as the current E, no direct injection. Very bad.

got quote from dealer on e350 with p1 package 17k miles for 28,900.00
good? Bad or fair to midland??

Thanks in advance,

Shop around. Look for a 2006 w/ close to that milage& options at around $22K!

They're out there believe me.

the new E-class with the AMG styling package looks awesome. The rear is a bit lacking tho imho, not very imaginative. http://www.netcarshow.com/mercedes-b...ports_package/

drpasteur

yeah get E500 Coupe! its awesome nice!

omgitselaine

The AMG version does look much better but then again arent most AMG's "nicer" and at a premium price no less rear aside from the LED lights looks like the rear of a Hyundai !??!

C300Sport

OH NO....a Hyundai...of course the Genesis ain't too bad...
