    my aunt has an S-Class, it has kind of a ridiculously long wheelbase, when i tested it out it was kinda like driving a limo (then again, i usually drive a pretty compact integra). This C-class would probably a easier to drive and less stress to parallel park lol.

    Its not bad, just not feeling the lines along the doors and rear. Kinda ruins the smooth cleaniness look of the car. Wonder if they will change that for the S?

    Meh...I've learned to dislike Mercedes now. My cousin has an S500, and it got me thinking, he should have gotten an RS4 instead. If you're going to pay that much for a car, might as well get the power and speed too.
