Ever since, the new C class has come out, whenever I see one, in sport trim, my jaw just drops. Looks great.

And the B8 A4 has the same problem. It looks awesome (in pictures.)

I really think it's going to be hard to people to choose cars, they're both awesome. The 3 series has absolutely nothing on these two cars. That is, until Bmw comes out with a 335dxi in the US.

interior-wise. The leather quality and upper dash plastic look honda-esque. I actually think the latest C-Class has a front-end which is reminiscent of a dodge truck from certain angles (too slab sided). But the masses will buy it because it gets them into a Mercedes for 35k. That said, the C63 is impressive. A lot of power for such a small car.

I once sat in a C in an auto-show. The interior of an Audi is much better.

don't lie; you're a closet c-class owner ;)
