Looks much better than the old one thats for sure.

Better than the current 3 series as well IMHO.

C63 AMG looks great as well, prefer it to the new M3.



If it was my money RS4 would be on the drive.

i think the new ones look awesome!

my boss has a old one, black with 17s and dark tints. looks like a mob boss in it lol.

The 2 that are in the Alonso vs Hamilton advert are my favorites.

Pretty sure the white one is the new C63 AMG and Hamiltons the CLK AMG... Great ad btw.

The CLK Black Edition is mind blowing (as is the SLK).



I friggin love mercs tbh.

The new CL, C, CLS, SLK, SL, etc.


Im hell bent on getting a late 1960s 280SL Auto Pagoda in the next 2 years :D

Looking forward to seeing what the guy who started AMG can come up with for Mercs R8 rival.

Id take a 300C SRT-8 thanks very much. you just KNOW theyre going to factory supercharge that sucker.

Imagine - car the size of a house doing 60 in under 4 seconds, itll be awesome.

I used to have a Merc as a company Car.. CK200 I think it was. In fact I had 2, Didnt like either of them.

For the money, they are lacking... I mean, its a Merc, but why does it "feel" cheap?

After them I had Volvo S60s.

Much nicer car. Bags of room & really comfortable to Drive.

Now theyve got me a lacky Ive been busted down to Ford Focus via a Mondeo :lol:  :x  :shock:
THere again.. I do 1/2 the work.. so 1/2 the miles

Been told Im getting an Astra next though  :roll:
I Want my Saab Aero Back!!!!

If you think a Merc feels cheap I have no idea why you would want another vauxhall/saab. They arent even that quick - interior is nothing short of shocking.

I dont get  to choose my car.
Im given it.

As for the Saab, Its roomy as hell & has much more features for the money than the merc & the 2.3T is Quick.

Theyre nippy, not quick. They do have good room in the front though.

It depends what you want in a car at the end of the day.. I used to drive 30k+ a year, so I like a car that roomy & comfortable (& cup holders everywhere) - The Merc for me, didnt feel like it was unique. It felt mass produced, simlair to how a ford feels.

Im actually thinking of getting a people carrier or a very large estate as my work car

I do similar miles to that per year atm

You can get so many more netilla boxes, bluecoats, riverbeds, mimesweeper appliances, nokia firewalls and network physics boxes in a bigger car!

I likethe looks of the Alfa 159 tbh, id probably have a 159 over the C class, but if I was in the range of the S4 then Id get the S4 for sure! (over any thing else)

Everynight I drive home from work and I see a black S4 go past and it always puts it foot down when going past me and it sounds awesome!
