W204 heavy as a 1977 Chevy Caprice
I was just reading another car site and saw in 1977 Chevy reduced the weight of the 77 Caprice to 3,650 pounds. It made me remember my 2011 C300 comes in at about 3,550. I couldn't believe a 77 Caprice that was almost 3 feet longer, wider, etc., only weighed 100 pounds more.
Now I like my solid C300, and I'm not complaining about any aspect of it, I just have a hard time with the numbers. Then I checked out the commonly referred to "tank-like" W163. (78-85 300D). 3,495 pounds! 55 Pounds less!
Where is my c300 keeping this weight?

Your way of thinking is funny op.
That chevy had nothing more than a motor, steering wheel, tranny, cassette deck and 2 sofas.
I would be here for days listing what is packed into your 204.
