Cube is gone, Mia stole my Juke and I picked this out... Pretty sweet upgrade actually.

Mercedes Benz C300... It has almost every option under the sun, and some I didn't even know were options, and all in all is a splendid car...

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics...

Whattya mean she "stole" your Juke? I kinda like the Juke, personally. It has some weird style that I dig...

Nice looking car.... That giant star on the front is a bit pompous for me, but should suit you just fine.. ;)

Why does it feel like I've seen this thread already, yet it just got posted? F*cking deja vu. I keep having it. Anywho, I've driven one of these. It's a sweet ride. Good choice :bigthumb:

The early W204s had some pretty crummy interiors but over time they've gotten better. Now, the C-class is almost entirely responsible for making MB the #1 luxury car brand in the US.

I'd rather drive the Juke, but then my dislike for the C-class is pretty powerful. But I'm honestly not here to be a d!ck. :) Glad you've upgraded to a car you're enjoying.

How's the transmission behavior? Can you turn ESC all the way off, or are they still designing by the Diamler-Chrysler playbook?

Wes, you're right. The ginourmous star fits me well.

MoD, I have had no issues spinning a donut or two. transmission is fine. You just need to reset it so it doesn't have the last douche's driving behavior memorized.

Sweet. One of my dream cars. I stare every time I see one of these one the road as I think they look aesthetically perfect and do not follow today's world of cars with too many curves and lines.

I wish more luxury cars came in bright red. I'm really effing tired of 20 shades of grey and silver.

I took a bunch of really cool pics last night, but can't upload them right now.

I'd do it from work, but I am still in the process of convincing the IT dept that Nico shouldn't be blocked by the Barracuda Web Filter. Gaining temporary access is a PITA, and your credentials expire too quickly to post easily.

So I'll post up some pics tonight.

It seems that the G37 is a much better car, and for a lower price, even used.

Why did you choose this car? G37 faster, and gets better mpg. The 2010 sedan's are right in the ballpark of the 08' coupes, and some say those are faster than the coupe.

Nevertheless, nice car, and I like the design, and body style.
