Review: The Best Mercedes Benz out there...

You'll be shocked to hear the answer. This should start up a nicely heated debate. =)

The C32 AMG is the biggest waste of money in the world, the C230K I mentioned above has everything the C32 has, looks exactually the same, has the same size rims, actually comes in Manual making it more sporty, and is half the price! Who cares if you have a bigger engine, your car still isn't sporty!
Umm.....I think this pretty much sums up this guy's intelligence....

Of course there's no difference in sportiness between a C230K (1.8L supercharged inline-4 189HP) and a C32 AMG (3.2L supercharged V6 342HP) - right

Well then, there should be no difference between an E220 and the E55 this guy likes, so......

And btw, who spells MB as "Mercades-Benz" - omg

What is a Mercades??? Personally, the CL 65 does it for me. Or a CL with an AMG kit.

You're a RETARD,

I think that the number one reason this car got your "seal of approval" (whatever the f*ck that's worth in your head) is BUDGET, You didn't have the money to buy the AMG so you bought the little kompressor and now you're trying to convince your little circle of "I have my own stupid website" friends that you bought it based on sportiness?? and not price...

Come on, Johnny.. hey ho! Johnny! Get the *** outta here will you? you shoulda bought a 318ti instead and go troll on the Beemer forums saying the M3 is not a true sports car..

Hell, go buy yourself a Cavalier and make up a page about how much Corvette sucks... come on, The kompressor sedan is a great car, but no way near an E55 or C32.

You been drinking too much caffeine, I think you're starting to **** your common sense now. Do us all a big favor, change your website... Your opinions are biased by your budget.

Seal of approval... All you C32/E55 guys out there, what are you doing driving these crappy cars? Don't you know it's not approved by looser halo? Sell them right away and go buy a six-pack of C230K will you?

Thumbs up

Reading most of his articles, I feel deep sympathy for his parents...

The greatest thing is comparing an S55 VS C230K and the Celica VS a Supra Turbo. I love the fact how he stresses a 6 speed manual VS an automatic and the weight of the car. Let's not even start the conversation without bringing up the 190E Evolution II. While underpowered compared to the AMG variants now, it will *outaccelerate*, *outhandle* and *outcorner* his ultimate C230K with one less gear! And because it has one less gear it's therefore not as sporty.

I guess anything with a 6 spd is considered more sporty in his opinion. In his definition, the ultimate comparo would be to retrofit a Honda Civic CRX with a 6 spd and it would be sportier than the SLR, which unfortunately, has an automatic. Wow, I get to pocket probably over 400K in this venture.

If this guy brags about the best blow job, that's because he hasn't got any...

If he complains about the entire white men with asian girl ordeal, just shove it up and tap a white chick up the tree on a street corner for revenge.
