It might go alright, but hooly is it dull to look at.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Bleh.

 

[Badasp5.0]

Euro fan boys talking about how Wblah blah blah is so much better than W blah blah blah makes it SU. Plus around here driving around in a MB makes you a snob or a drug dealer.

 

[Tyger]

Well engineered but bland, generic styling, as is the case with most Mercs and dare I say a lot of German cars of that era. I get tired of the Wthis and Ethat arguments too, they are all so dang samey.

Meeeeeh.

 

[Legro]

Drunk people will come and ask if you could take them home, because it looks like a taxi. Uncool.

 

[Kent]

SZ.
Fast, comfy, daily.
Understated to the masses and screaming at those in the know... Definitely a car I would love to own.

Not grading based on my opinion of other people's opinions of another person's opinion of my opinion of this car's coolness.

Understated V8 Compact Sedan

[MoLiEG]

Mehhrcedes Benz...

It looks veeeeery dull...

The quintessential C-Class AMG, before AMG started putting stupid spoilers, wings and inlets on anything it could.

The entire point it was to be almost indistinguishable from lesser C-Classes, but have close to M3 performance. Which seems to be lost of most posters so far.

I had the C32 which was one step further toned down style wise and a model sleeper, but it was also remarkably lacking in build quality. That was fixed in the 55 - Cool.

You had a C32? Awesome! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of maintenance and repair costs did you encounter with the engine?
I've been thinking about getting an SLK32

 

[mustafur]

These days it's about looking all insane fast n furious style, don't know how much cooler you can get when the car itself is not trying hard with Performance to suprise.

No one likes a show off.

 

[niky]

I loved the E. I like the newer C-Classes.

This generation simply doesn't move me, no matter how fast and competent a version we're talking about. Meh.

Understated good looks and AMG's 5.4L V8 is another of their good hits. Cool.
