2012 C250 Coupe
Not bad considering the model just came out... Was this a coupe or sedan? Also, when you say $2,000 down, is that on top of taxes and fees, or $2,000 total out of pocket. Also, what was the MSRP?

the 4 cylinder should be the same if not slower. 30 less HP to the wheels as well as less torque. Not even gonna start on the turbo lag that's likely to be there.

The 250 actually has slightly more torque. I've driven the 300 and 250 back to back several times now... the only difference I can tell is sound, and can't feel any lag personally. Definitely feels like the same amount of power going down the road.

Good to know..a lot of C300 people on the forum seem to think the 300 is way faster..prob an ego thing.

I'm scared to go drive a 250 coupe because I'd probably trade on the spot.

The color is off in the picture..they're still white. Mercedes would never use blue leds, tacky.

look at the headlights and then the LEDs and tell me by how big of a margin they have to be off to look like that in a picture.. regardless its a hell of a lot closer to a 6000 kelvin LED then the 2011's will ever be without lighting package..

The headlights dont even look like they're on in his picture so I cant compare. Also the 2011 leds are the same across the lineup, the lighting package doesnt have bluer leds.

Im just curious why your 2011 is an epic fail..?

no off position for the headlights, lock/unlock alarm notice is now a horn which is annoying as hell, the inability to change the bulbs in the LED strips and having to change the ENTIRE strip, the fact that the car shakes like hell on a cold start up which is "normal" for a 2011 w204.
