C300: Luxury vs. Sport

I assume the Luxury vs. Sport is only cosmetics or there is a difference in the suspension?

The ride is a bit lower and tighter. The Sport has a staggerd front/back wheel setup while the luxury has all four wheels the same size.

Well in Aus.. the sports package's ride is definitely harder, with the lowered sports suspension.

just depends on what ride you enjoy. For me thats the biggest difference.

I also think the brakes are different. I was next to a lux on Friday and noticed it didn't have drlled rotors and the caliper was definitly different.

Here in The Netherlands the "sport" has drilled rotors and calipers with MERCEDES BENZ sign. The lux havent got drilled rotors and calipers without the sign

Thanks guys.....right now I have the Sport as a loaner. I'll have to check out the Luxury at the dealer. Most likely I'll go with the Sport.
