Bought a 2011 C300 Sport 4matic to keep my CLK company

After test driving a few cars, I finally decided on the purchase of a brand new C300 Sport 4matic. Black on black, fully loaded with navi, just didn't go with 19" amg wheel package since it'll be a daily driver. Very comfortable car, and still have the awd for the brutal winters here. Also love the new LED strip the new ones have for fogs.
Traded in my Mazdaspeed6, STi, and 7 series since I have our first baby on the way end of june. I will miss my STi, but I am extremely satisfied with my decision. My wife has Acura TL which is fine for the baby seat, but I didn't feel comfortable putting a baby seat in my modded turbo cars. Luckily I still have my Boxster S, CLK500 and WRX.
Looking to get some smoked corners to match with my CLK500 since I hate the orange, lol.
I will take pics as soon as I get a chance.

Congrats on the purchase !
W204s are a beautiful cars and the 4matic should suit for the winter well.
If you dont mind, why did you sell an STi and left an WRX?

Thanks, had a very strong trade in value and knew it was time to part with it. I loved my STi but at the right price I am willing to let it go.

That's a great choice. I have drove them as loaners from the dealership. They are definitely very nice cars inside and out. I love them in red. Enjoy

Thanks, and the 7 speed really helps with gas mileage also. I have seen as high as 32mpg on highway, at 60 mph. I felt like this car offered the perfect package for what I was looking for.

I can definitely vouch for the 7 speed and great gas mileage. 30.1 on my last tank. I even posted up the proof a few days back with speedo pics.

Thanks, you know the only difference was the slightly different headlights, and some minor changes to interior so I didn't mind going with 2011.

I actually prefer these headlights more than the new 2012 ones. And the rest of the changes appearance wise were not worth the wait to me, especially since I liked everything on this car.

Was a beautiful weekend here in Chicago, so I was able to take some pics while I was out driving the car. Just didn't get chance to upload them on computer yet. So hopefully tonight I should have them uploaded.
