C450 AMG
Can't believe I moved from Japan to Germany..

Just purchased a '16 C450! Picking it up later this week.

I've had Acuras all my life.. a red Integra, now a silver '04 TL, and very soon a white C450!

I knew I wasn't getting another Acura because they have dropped off significantly.. not the company making the nice cars like they were 15 years ago.. they are just ugly now.

I looked at the Q50 Red Sport and S4 along with the C450 and narrowed it down between the S4 and C450. But when it came down to it, I had the most fun driving the C450, plus the interior is way more updated/nicer than the S4's, soooo I pulled the trigger and actually got a new car... still surprised.

The TL has done me well for so long.. 169k miles... but time to move on.

I'll still mainly frequent my Azine forum but will definitely start roaming around here. Luckily the website/forum seems to look and run just the same as the Azine forums so it's all familiar.

I've the distict impression that Japanese automobiles have ceased to evole somehow.


After a sidestep into a Land Cruiser 200 I've decided to go back to Benz as well.


Good luck with your purchase.
