Oof a w222. Interesting....
Did you happen to get any data points? I read it has glazed windows so I'm curious.
Also it's like, 60k cheaper so, you could spruce up the interior lol but who wants to do work xD I do but that's besides the point lol.

Here are my various measurements
At 145km/hr:
My C300 (modded), 68db
Lexus LS500 (2018): 69db
Genesis G90 (5.0T - 2018): 68DB
W222 S550: 65db
^wow, eh? All the cars above, other than mine, have acoustic windshields and dual glazing. The Merc just demolishes sound (And it has RFTs!) I can only imagine what the sound levels are once I get rid of that crap!

I suppose, it could also depend on the surface of where you are placing the recorder too though, as the materials may be different between cars. Did you get DB on the 300?
Also for the record I like the LWB - the SWB looks weird to me lol. Might as well buy a CLA LWB (yes that exists)

Testing was done on the same road at the same conditions.

^I fixed your link so now I see what you were trying to post. A class stretch....man, that'd be an attractive proposition, or even an E class stretch (For me).The Chinese get all the cool shi* that we don't. Sigh.

It's almost a weird concept since you would think, just go up a class, but it doesn't work that way.
They also make a 300C LWB 1st Gen, fun fact.
Have you considered an SUV.

Here's something funny. Dr. Z's last year as CEO of Daimler-Benz is this year. He's being replaced next year by the first non German CEO in the history of Benz. (and a young dude at that). I found one of his videos here:
Watch it until the end. It's funny as fuc*. Who said the Germans had no sense of laughter?

I'll have to check it out over the weekend when I have time.
Nowadays some SUVs get better mpg than cars. Like everyone's Asian SUV vs my c300. Lol.
Have you considered a Kia stinger.

I just thought you might enjoy his videos, he mentions some stuff that your typical car reviews don't say. Either you love him or you hate him really lol. Suprised he removed the one with the A8...

With the A8, he reviewed a pre-launch car that was not allowed to be reviewed. After he posted his review, Audi of USA went...WTF, and asked him to rescind it, so he did. He still hasn't posted a review, and that's probably because he's up schitt's creek

It will be sad to see you go!
However I'm sure you'll run out of threads in the Audi forums and pop back here every once in a while
Congrats on the car!

One of the things that's really bothering me is what happens to my 204 once I sell it. I'm a car guy. Hell I just applied paint sealant today because I love my car, even though it's going bye.
I'm wondering if there's anyone in the Ontario Canada area who is interested in buying one, or knows of someone who may want it?
2012 MB C300 Sedan. Palladium Silver on Black Leather.
76,000km. Collision Free. Flawless Condition. Literally showroom ready
Under 7 year 160,000km MB warranty until mid 2019.
Fully loaded.
Full winter set of OEM alloys + Michelin snow tires.
New all season tires on the summer set
Full service records
100% OEM parts etc.
New brakes/rotors
Only thing it needs at some point is a new blower motor. (it's making a bit of noise but works just fine.)
If anyone is interested in more details, pls PM me.
