Cool C-class feature vs Cadillac.

I appreciated this video, as it pits the c-class in a drag race with the cadillac. But it was pretty funny, made you think they were going to race a cts-v against a c300, then bring out the biggest cadillac escalade, and it still walks on the c300.

I own both vehicles, so I definitely liked it. And I can say that the Escalade is surprisingly "Ballsy" and fast for a big vehicle.

Bah! One of the best features of the C-Class is that it is not a Cadillac. Which should be enough.

Lame, they need to pick on someone their own size. Haha! 400+ HP more than double the output, and still an ugly vehicle my $.02!

The first comment on the video pretty much says it all:
Thanks Cadillac you guys just started a war and made yourself look even more stupider. Cadillac you guys now look like even a bigger joke. Love my CTS-V but damn I deep down inside hate you guys now!!!

What, you have somehow inherited the family vehicles?

The Escalade is just a Suburban in drag although it is loved by upper-level drive-by types and Rappers of all descriptions.

I was gonna comment and defend the Benz, but I started reading the comments and every single one defends the Benz and kills Caddy. I almost feel bad for Caddy, if you look Cadillac them selves is responding to some of the hate comments saying they were just having a little fun, hah. Whatever, Benz is still the best regardless!

You don't have to fret about Cadillac. As long as the Florida and Arizona retirees keep heading out for the early-bird dinners, it will be in Cads. After all, MB doesn't offer permanently on left turn signals. Yet.

As a senior citizen, MB owner for many years, and a lover of early bird dinners, I find your remarks condescending and offensive.

I am in the market of a new performance coupe. My choices are either upgrading my 08 M3 to 2012 M3 or 2012 C63AMG. Sorry CTS-V you are not even in my radar now that you showed us that the Escalade is better than your CTS-V. That how they spend our tax bailout money.

90% of drivers look at 0-60
OMG look my corvette can rape ur ferrari

the leather in the ferrari costs more than the corvette lol

I honestly cant stand when im driving around, and i see all these mitsubishi eclipses wanting to race me, cause I threw some rims on a car and some tint, like ****
if i wanted to get a fast car id get an sti and tune the **** out of it.

Theres more to a car then the 0-60 and cadillac here is trying to sell there car based on a 0-60 time considering their car is more than twice the price of a c300

Lol, you crack me up. The c300 is mine, the escalade is split between me and my older brother (who lives in the city and never uses it, so essentially mine too). My father drives his SL500 and my mother has her ML while my sister has her black c300.
