I'm 48 and while I like the C32, it feels like an old man's car to me (suits me just fine if I'm in a lazy mood).

If I was 20 something (like half you guys seem to be) and without kids etc, I would have something sporty like a Boxter or an M3.

Hey mhh...

Got any pics of your Gallardo? Would love to see it!

PS Boxter? M3? Why, when the C32/C55 beats 'em both!

Nick, here's a link showing my Gallardo. (Sorry to be lazy - I'm away from home so re-posting pics isn't as easy as usual).

My comment about the M3 and Boxter was more about sportiness. But then, I'm so far past being 25, I can hardly remember what I wanted then, so I'm no expert.

One thing's for sure - at that age, I couldn't afford a C32/C55 OR an M3/Boxter. Good luck to the young guys who can!

Wow.... What can I say. I'm turning 35. I thought I'm quite young for a Merc owner until I saw this thread. Merc owners in the state is YOUNG!!!

Btw, Merc says the average age for the previous C-class(W202) owners were 55 and their were hoping to bring down the average to 49 when they launched the current C-class (W203).

I pay for my own cars.
