Official curb weights:

C250 (1.8L turbo 4 cylinder)-
3,419 lbs
0-60: 7.1 secs

C350 (NA 3.5L)-
3,562 lbs
0-60: 5.9 secs

Vs BMW listed specs on website:

auto 328i-
3,428 lbs
0-60: 6.8 secs

DCT 335i-
3582 lbs
0-60: 5.5 secs

The C coupe has exactly the same wheel base as the 3 series coupe @ 108.7 inches but about 1 inch less head room front and back. On the road, this car almost has the same dimensions as the 3 series coupe too.

Length 180.7
Width 69.7
Height 54.8

I wonder if the new amg coupe will weigh about the same as the M3.

If Kia can get away with lifting almost every design they have, I don't see why Mercedes can't.

I like it.

You guys can call me crazy, but I don't see the resemblance with that desperate housewives Honda.

The Benz looks dynamic and well proportioned, the Honda on other hand looks heavy and frumpy.

looks better in promo shots than in actual normal pictures. I'm disappointed.

A5/S5, e90 w/Aero > this

I don't see it's purpose other than to be a poseur. "Almost a real Merc!" where the e90 and A5/S5 stand alone as world-class cars. idk, guys.

sorry, just not feeling it.

the C63 is a different matter entirely, but the rest of the C-Class is forgettable. the Class people settle for when they can't get an E or better.

Hell, I even remember the commercials from when they introduced the C. Like they had to reinforce that it really is a Merc. lol!

I suppose you could say the same about all brands.

People settle for a 128i because they can't get a __________.

People settle for a 328i because they can't get a __________.

People settle for the A4 because they can't get a __________.

Etc., etc..

All mfgs are expanding their lines to fit all demographics and all consumer desires. Merc also make the A and B models. Do people buy them because they're making a compromise and can't get an E Class, or maybe because they want a B Class?

fwiw, my neighbor is filthy rich and his huge house overlooks the Pacific. He drives a C Class. He didn't "settle" for one, he just wanted a small decent car. He spends his money elsewhere.
