w208 is timeless.. my father in law was just talking to me about it yesterday.. couldn't believe my car was a 2000.. ill prob. never get rid of it.. i still have major mods i've been holding out on for years that i've been saving till i get tired of how it looks..
i still constantly get compliments from people thinking my car is new..
w209, this has been said about a billion times, is girly.. i think cause it looks smaller? maybe an optical illusion? i'm weird but i think the sl is girly as well as slk i wouldn't drive the older c classes as well..
holy hell i went off on a tangent..

Even tho the W209 doesn't touch the interior or exterior looks of the W208, its got everything else.... steering, refinement, functionality.....etc. If you parked a W208 next to a W209 and asked someone to pick the best looking car, i'd put my money on the 208 and I say that because I could have owned a 209. ;-)
