Not a fan of Mercedes C class. Looks like someone much older than me would drive it. Not a car for my personality. Lex, I agree, the front end is what kills it IMO.

C-Class suck...too many negatives and feels cheap... if you have your mind set on getting a benz get at least an E-Class.

I'd get an Audi or BMW over that--or a Lexus IS 350. Is that why it's in this forum?

Yeah I was doing some pricing just for the heck of it, and to get the equivalent of what I have on my 250 it would cost me $42K+ when I paid $35K... what a rip.

2 things:
1) Please title your thread appropriately. "What do you guys think of the new C350?" would have sufficed.
2) Please post your thread in the appropriate sub-forum.
I've taken care of both for you.

It's fine if you're a Benz lover, but for the same coin, you could have the 335i.
Then again, you could get a IS350 LT and invest the add'l money you will save . . .

Mercedes interior build quality and driving feel has gone down hill
The plastics in those cars feel paper thin, and the steering feels loose. Horrible, just horrible.

Is it just me? I think the C-Class front is more aggressive, especially the C63... that demon.

Only with the AMG kit and sport grill is is attractive. It doesn't even look like a Benz to me, like an Accord or something. The interior is okay.
Then it has less power than the competition, its doesn't handle better, its not more luxurious and it COSTS MORE.
No thanks.
