This guy is not a serious enthusiast but a troll and should be treated as such.

Agree/disagree
While I agree with Bmms8 about age not being a factor in the shopping of a car (I used to be enthusiastic and researched choices for my parents' purchases).
However, I see Viper's point too. Viper's frustration can be understood, especially if he took pains to answer one of this guy's earlier questions.
In a way, IMHO, this guy from Dubai is fishing. He's posting his questions hoping for easy answers instead of checking out various MB official and spy sites, as well as journalistic articles, to find his answers.
If you feel so inclined, help the guy out. If you don't, and he's motivated enough, he can look elsewhere.
Personally, this is not a simple request. People can't provide a simple answer, there are multiple details necessary, and it takes a respondent time to put them in a post. If the guy isn't willing to hit the search button for something so time consuming, I'm generally not willing to waste my time to save him time.
I'll also take into consideration the guy's time on MBWorld and his post count to help me decide if I want to put out the effort to reply. If the guy is a regular, or at least an active member, and has been around longer than just since breakfast, I'm more apt to ink a response because I believe he generally wants to know and is seriously interested.
OTOH, remember that girl that came on a coupla months ago. She had a post count of about 1. She wanted to know if we knew of any rap videos that showcased MBs. Since I figured she was not an MB enthusiast, owner, or driver but that she was more likely researching a work or school project and wanted us to do her work for her, I opted not to reply.
BTW-Here's the link to her post. I don't think too many other people were very interested in helping her out either.

OTOH......I can't remember seeing you post on the E211 forum before. I may have missed it. It is a little over the line for the first posts you make here to be flames.
By the way...Bmms8 is one of the original posters on the W211 forum and deserves a lot more respect from a "new" poster. His age has nothing to do with it. He has contributed a lot to the discussion of the new E. His post actually seems a great deal more mature than yours

I dunno...
the C32, E500, and the E55 are among the fastest stock production cars MB makes available in the mid-price range. Seems entirely reasonable to me that he's trying to decide which he prefers, either for himself or to encourage (read: Nag) his parents about.
Viper, I can understand your frustration, especially if you've taken the time to thoughtfully and completely reply to him in the past, but his efforts do not have the taint of troll on them, IMHO.
Best bet is to cut your losses and don't respond to his stuff, until (if) he either proves himself worthy, or proves himself troll-ish.
