C Coupe or E Coupe

Since I may have to change car soon, I test drove both C350 and E350 earlier this week.

I felt that the C Coupe was more fun to drive. It seemed faster and sporty.

Coming from a CLK, I feel familiar with the E Coupe. Besides the stronger engine, I didn't feel much difference driving the car.

Any thoughts?

You want an honest opinion from an E coupe biased crowd? As you said, coming from CLK you're right at home in the E coupe (which is realy a rebadged CLK). C coupe, while sportier, is nowhere close to E coupe's refinement and style, IMO. Having said that, lack of availability of AMG package on E350 coupe hurts its sportiness compared to AMG "dressed" C350 coupe.

I think you'll be happier in a C class, just a thought. You test drove them and can't tell the difference and are willing for other people to make your decision for you. I mean, why pay all that money right?
