Surprise, surprise....no C32s.
So, my wife wants a C32. I say E500 4-matic for the wife, but she likes the size and sportiness of the C32. I plan on doing most of Evosport Stage I and II, H&R coilovers and rims for her... just in case I want to drive it now and then. We go to 2 local MB dealerships this weekend..... no C32s, new or used. Looks like everyone else is also looking at the introduction of the C55 as a good opportunity to pick up a C32. Well, now she wants no other car but a silver C32. I want to buy one from a dealership. Wish me luck.
By the way, how has the interior of the C32 held up for you C32 owners?

I like the interior although I am thinking of going w/ real carbon fiber from Harris (www.hartonmotorwerks.com). I have only had mine for about 4 weeks, but so far so good.
You're going to want to drive the car all the time after you get around in it. It's a really fun car to drive. Comfortable & Sporty -- you can't beat that.

you have to get the C55 with kleeman SC like you said 
jk but the interior has held up good for me (blue/black) but the aluminum trim does dent a little too easy cause my V1 fell off the windshield once and slammed the ashtray lid causing a small dent

lol,
AMGBred - All my cars are females too.
But I still think black is easily the sexiest color on a car (maybe I feel that way cuz I am dark too).
All my cars always have been and always will be black. And if i ever get married I will force my wife to buy black cars too
.
Silver is bad luck for me. I have only been in two accidents and they both involved a silver car.

In Ca, the used C32 car inventory runs about 4-7 at any one time, most in LA.

As long as she doen't get heavy footed all of a sudden, I think she'll be fine. Am I correct in understanding that the SC does not engage at partial load?

Good luck!
