New C Class coming...

[Kangz]

It depends on which BMW...if it's the 320 then yes. But I dun think the supercharged 4 pots can be compared with the I6 in 323 and above.

[Ncss]

C200 is 1.8L SC engine... but previous model is 163bhp, new model is 184bhp...

[Ncss]

323i I6 should compare C230 V6

[Kangz]

Looking at the bhp figures, the C230's chief competitor should be the 325 (albeit with a higher bhp at 217bhp). Torque figures are similar though. Just wondering about the price C&C will charge for this entry level V6.

Nice car...ready for test drive?

[Otsego]

and BMW is for ah pek right

[Relagsingh]

oh yah...

 

aiyah... looks better than the 3 can liao

[Relagsingh]

ic....

 

mercedes made sure they did it right this time. instead of rushing to produce a 3 series competitor, they took their own sweet time (5 years) to develop this model.

 

if they were to rush things then, it may get bloody and they will lose out. now the 3 is already in the market for 2 years, definitely they'll be more potential junior exec buyers looking at the fresh new c-class now.

[Otsego]

hmmm AMG option... V.good stuffs

Mercedes development schedule quite standard for C, E and S class (about 7 years)

Old S-class was first launch in S'pore end 1999, that's why their new S-class was launch in early 2007...

 

- 4 years after model launch --> Facelift

- 7 years after model launch (Or 3 years after facelift)--> Fresh new model

 

E-class just facelifted... so the fresh model for E-class likely to be early~mid 2010

Note that current C-class was launch in S'pore in end 2000

I am smitten by the 159 Sportwagon, test drove it and the only thing I am worry about is the selespeed.

Go buy this month's Autocar magazine u'll know which brand sells more cars. But despite selling more cars, they don't profit much.

[Holysniper]

This car, in Avantgarde trim especially, makes the 3 series sedan look like a 3 day old pile of sh*t. Mercedes has really upped their game with this one. Can't wait to see it and go for a test drive

 

looks reali nice! and i am til a teenager..

[Adrenalinpwd]

Someone advertised on papers today... $135,888 deliver Aug 07.

 

Didn't know that P.I also bringing this model.

[Jamdeltav]

wah serious? which P.I. eh? i'm curious

[Relagsingh]

V**car i think.

[Kaka23]

Yeah for the last three years bmw sold more cars than MB. But what about the years before those three years? MB profit more dispite selling lesser car than bmw is due to better strategic planning leading to lower cost price.

[Devilmaycry]

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.
