I suspect that the AMG styling "upgrades" are of dubious quality.


I'll have to see one without all that black tape to make a final judgement.

I'd rather just wait for the next C, because after like 2 years with the C55, it'll be outdated again.

To me, the C55 is just a way to boost end of the product cycle sales. Kinda like the BMW 330 getting 335hp, up from 325.

white and whiter
Oggle means 330i ZHP (performance pkg) with 235 hp up from the regular 225hp with slight factory tuning.

I don't think most people with C32 will actually trade up for the C55 if there really isn't that much of a difference in performance and the C55 will cost more than the C32. Cars are constantly getting better and better. I rather wait till the C gets completely overhauled or get a used 211 E55 if I can afford one.
