Nope. His first post says 'Chrysler 300':

looking for E55 AMG
I was talking about a Chrysler 300. The actual interiors look different but the first thing I thought about when I sat in the new C series was Chrysler 300 interior. I have a Chrysler 300 for a company car(don't have a choice ) and that was the first thing that came to mind when I sat in a new C series. I was referring more to the quality than the actual interior specs.

Do you not think the C series has to much plastic and the leather isn't exactly high quality? Honestly, it felt and looked just like the leather in my Chrysler 300 company car.

I am not trying to offend anyone so please do not take this the wrong way. I was merely making an observation. I was really hoping that I would like the interior b/c I think the engine in the C63 will be kick a*s. I am trying to make a decision between a preowned E55, new C63, or new E92 M3 .

if it's anything like the outgoing c-class, the interior is sub-par. the old c-class made me think of dodge neon's.

i owned a 2005 e55 and presently an '02 sl 500 silver arrow and an '07 bmw X3. the e55 is nice, but for the money ($92k on the sticker) you'd expect more than an injection-molded rubber dashboard. the old SL has really nice leather seats; the '05 e55 had nice soft leather seats, yet the leather was obviously very thin by comparison with the SL500's, which looks like it'll wear for the ages. by contrast to the newer mercedes, my x3 has the nicest leather of any recent benz, and the scent of the leather in bimmers is really intoxicatingly nice.

both cars (mercedes and bmw) have nice fit and finish on the interior bits. i want to love the c63 - it looks ferocious - but if all it's got is upgraded seats and keeps the base model dash, that'll be a shame.

If interior is that important you will be driving an M3. I'm not saying the W204 or C63 interior is top notch but, apparently, BMW and Audi have long had an edge in interior quality.
