iyalla Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Its a baby S-class. They certainly needed something to compete with the 3 series which has just been kicking their butt in this segment. Just keep it in warranty. This is coming from a Mercedes guy, we've had at least one in my family for 25 years You thought Detroit was having quality issues....

PGT Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I like the look of the new C. I also like the new S, it looks like Merc has returned to a more classic and cohesive design language for their line. looks of a Hyundai Azera + Mazda RX-8 = cohesive?

rao Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I don't care if it has a CVT (more = better right, so infiniately variable must be best ) no manual transmission makes it a non-starter for me. Not that Mercedes cares about me..... Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iyalla Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Is it AWD? Yes if you get the 4matic option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 But is 4Matic as good as Subaru AWD, and does it come with the AMG or Sport packages? No manual. No Sale. Too much money. Like my Legacy GT just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Think of it as a LGT spec B with a rotated GT35 setup & supension & wheel makeover......45-47k;) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyalla Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Quote from Autoweek.. "With the exception of the C350 which receives Mercedes-Benz’s seven-speed automatic, all new C-Class models come as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox. Buyers can order the seven-speed automatic on V6 models, with four-cylinder models getting an older five-speed unit on request." Oh and the wagon comes in the fall.

Jedi Pimp Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 No manual = no cash from me. Even the new Lexus IS-F is a stupid 8AT. Yes so you can make an auto that shifts faster than a manual. Who cares, its boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLegacy99 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 AFAIK, 4matic is actually a pretty good AWD system. Not sure what the current incarnation is like. Original 4matic was crap. RWD until wheel slippage and alot of it for that matter. My boss' E class had the 4matic jammed on and it burnt out the motor. The new 4Matic which debuted in the latest S class is quite advanced to my knowledge, but different from Subarus operation, not neccessarily better or worse.
