The C Class is not the "bottom of the barrel" Mercedes has to offer. The CLA and GLA are the entry level models now.

Also for us is the A and B as well, so 4 models beneath in the barrol

Right. USA is one of the few countries where Mercedes is considered a pure luxury brand. In most of the world they're a full line manufacturer of all kinds of cars and utility vehicles, passenger and commercial. In the full C line the 300 is in the middle.

Yup, C180, C200t and d, C220d, C250t and d, C300, C350Te, C400, C450/43 and C63. All available as estates and 4matic on selected models. C43 are rarely sold because at that price class most also can afford C63, which is a car that starts off at $150.000. Not what you would call a volume car.

And I am bringing back Roberto Montalban back from the grave!

I'd kill for a CPO Córdoba. Landau roof, red velour interior, 0-60 in 18 seconds...

They are? Any word on when it will be released? I tested a C300 coupe and liked the chassis but felt it was a little underpowered for such a heavy car.

Next summer

Definitely coming to the E400, didn't see the C mention in there, but I'm on the go and could've missed it. I hope so...

Mike5215

Oh, my bad. Meant the E400 coupe. You're right, there's nothing in the wind about a C400 coupe.

mcbc220

The 400 would be the perfect non-performance engine for the C. The coupe is a good 300 pounds heavier than the sedan, and it needs a little more pep off the line—but I was also in some heavy traffic and couldn't push it.

Mike5215

Yeah. I would have preferred the C400 sedan but I was a year too late to lease. I may pick one up CPO if there are any around when my lease is up.
