NY Times Auto Writer seeking C-Class owner

Greetings, Lawrence Ulrich here, I'm an auto writer and reviewer at The NY Times, also a contributing editor at Automobile magazine, etc. etc. I'm writing a piece for next Friday's Business Day section on how the German luxury brands -- including Mercedes of course! -- are on a major roll in design, tech, sales, etc.

I'd like to speak with the owner of a new 2015 C-Class about their experience with the car, of which I'm a big fan (no surprise)!. I definitely need to wrap the story by this coming Tuesday, but I'm hoping to reel in an owner well before that.

Please feel free to email me at lawrenceulrich@gmail.com, or call me
at 646 642 1544. Thanks so much, looking forward to hearing your take on the C!

Best,

Lawrence

He's apparently the real deal. Did a similar forum visit looking for consumer perspective for a piece on the upcoming Miata vert. Call him if you have some opinions.

Would it have to be either of those ?

I am blue eyed, and subsequently expect that when he asks for owner experience he's not after a specific angle, but rather wants the whole package. Ie good and bad

I emailed him yesterday morning and still no reply. Guess he doesn't care to get opinions on the car...
