New C Class coming...

[Bingo]

but i chossen a BM523 i felt BM look more stronger than mercedes

[Relagsingh]

serious? i was in paris before and the only japanese car i saw was a toyota yaris!

 

kudos to lexus! but this c-class beats it. really.

[Relagsingh]

523? hmmm... fair comparison will be with the e-class. i'll choose the 5 series too.

 

but with other mid executives, i'll take the GS300.

Bro, while I agree that the general demographic of S-class drivers tend to be well-heeled and mature, I personally feel that the current S-class design can appeal to people of all age groups. (I mean I like it and I'm in my early 20s)

 

The new S-class has muscular wheel arches, looks kinda low and in-ur-face, if I may say so. With a bit of doing up, it looks like something a rapper would be proud of. LOL. Or maybe its just my opinion.

 

Anyway its packed with lotsa cool gizmos like infra-red vision and adaptive cruise control which simply up the bling factor of the car if u ask me.

 

Anw, its just my personal opinion.

 

Cheers

Bro, I think the new C-class looks real sporty and cool.

I wonder if it drives as gd as it looks.

Btw I think the Lexus IS250 is heating up competition is this young executive car segment.

Don't u think so???

 

Anw all this is gd for consumers.

Amongst the current BMW range, I only like the looks of the 7 series. If u ask me, the design of the 3 series looks real dated. I also prefer the looks of the older E46 3 series as compared to the current E90.

 

As far as car design is concerned, I think very few cars (excluding supercars) can compare with the Alfa.

[cefiro_dude]

I love the looks of the CLS too. However, its really really really pricey.

hmmm.... pretty good price. even though the 5k avantgarde upgrade may be a gimmick. if you haggle a bit, it'll be worth it.

 

 

heard the current pricing of $157K is promotional price with the upgrade to avantgarde.

[Relagsingh]

actually, most mercs of late looks quite nice. here's my list:

 

1) SL

2) new CL

3) new C-class

4) S-class

5) current CLK

 

And all look wicked in AMG guise.

[Relagsingh]

hey same here. a big fan of the E46. if parked side by side with the E90, i'll go for the former. but the E92s look pretty decent.

 

Alfa? beats them left right centre. even the old twin spark engines look like masterpieces with those chromed intake manifolds.

I think the C200 only comes with 5 speed auto, quite a disappointment considering that fact that BMW 320i and IS250 all has 6 speeder.

[Relagsingh]

ermmm.... there's 7 speed g-tronic with flappy paddles available. but dunno for which models.

[Kameltoh]

Hi,

 

Think having a 7 speed g-tronic with paddle shifts will mean quite a bit of work-out on the fingers Don't u think so?

[Relagsingh]

yeah.... actually the 1.5 fit auto also 7 speed sequential cvt

[Ncss]

But the new C200 is coming with a 184bhp with its 1.8L enigne

 

1.8L can save some road tax ...

 

I think BMW320i power totally no fight .

[Kangz]

All V6 models will be fitted with 7G-Tronic, meaning C230 and above. And yes, if you have paddle shift you really shift till u siao

[Ncss]

C230 is V6 NA engine with 7G-Tronic, power is 204bhp with 250Nm torque...

 

spec seems not bad
