Don't think got any use la. Most people who are not car enthusiasts don't even know why got different numbers for the same model. lol. I doubt they will know a C350 is more powerful than a C180. In fact many of these people always see those cars with bodykits and weird modifications and they'll start thinking that must be a fast car. No wonder many people in Sg like to do those exterior mods that does nothing to improve performance.

 

I think you are right. But most would be able to at least deduce larger number means more powerful car. But with the Mercs n BMs nowadays its also kinda confusing. Most C Classes r c200 or c180, but even a c250 is a 2L inline4?

 

And its more confusing when you goup afew grades. The Class V6s for instance...a c300 (which is very rare here) has a 3.5L V6 which is the same as a c350...and i can only assume the difference is due maybe to the torgue, bhp or gears? I maybe wrong as both c300 and c350 r 7Gtronic.

 

Can anyone shed some light on this?

From what I notice among my group of female friends, they can't even tell the difference between 3 series or 5 series or C class and S class. To them they only recognise the badge. There was once we saw this Kia/hyundai with that audi logo infront and they also thought is audi. [laugh]

What makes that car a sleeper?

 

It looks like your average 320 from the outside.

But underneath is a 3l turbo with 400nm of torque.

The other sleeper cars are 'ah peh' cars like RR and Bently Continental Flying Spur. 0-100km in under 6sec and under 5sec respectively.

 

Lower down the price list, BMW 750Li also sleeper. 4.4L turbo V8 under the ah pek skin.

I think go look for those around 20yo almost all the same la. This group all from my class in poly 2-3 years ago. Maybe thats why I see lots of hondas in school. They all think the civic is a fast car.
