I know I own a 2006 ML350, but I got the chance to drive the C as a loaner, and I simply love it!!! It will be awesome after its turbo'd next year.

Snappppp. Do want. But I think my more....reasonable persona would want to stick with the simplicity/ease-of-access-comfort of a sedan. :/ If I was going through a mid-life crisis, that would be an entirely different story... :] Looks great though. Huge improvement from the previous model.

It's gonna be a soft cloth material instead of a retractable hardtop, saves money and keep the C class in a competitive price range

it's kinda weird seeing your own car but without a top..
it's like seeing your gf with a different hairstyle or smth

The first pic posted made me look twice not at the car but at the caboose. I thought it might have been my friends. Then I noticed the mountains and even though the logo is fuzzy I was able to see it wasn't his.

Yeah when I was in the market for a new car, I really wanted the EOS until I started reading about the leaky and temperamental roof systems. In the end a comparably equipped EOS was as much as my car. I still kinda want a drop top, but I'm not sure if I want the leaks and such that seem to go along with them. I hope MB gets it right when they do it. I'd consider it.

And the EOS has a considerably shorter wheelbase. I looked at it also, but while it was cute, it just didn't seem to have staying power!

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
That coupe is nice. If it has more power, it may be my next car. Hmm older pics. No LED driving lights and original mirrors. The lux convertible looks really classy.

Didn't Dr. Benz just tell reporters in December that the C Cabriolet was dead? He announced that the coupe was a go and that plans for a convertible were scrapped.
