if price is not a factor, the E-class is a much better MB, no doubt about that.

Definitely E-Class if price is not a factor.

all depends. If you want something more roomy the E class is better. C class will be smaller and sportier however.

This is a little subjective, so you are going to see differing answers. Plus, I think you can argue that a CL55 (or CLK55 if older) AMG is better than an E320 (just one example).

The CLS (sedan) and CL (coupe) are NOT what I would consider a typical C-class - definitely exceptions; Daimler just uses the "C" letter in the model name.

In general through, E is better than C and S is better than E.
