It does look more 'pimptastic' than your regular 5-series or E-class, but then they dont come with 22" chrome wheels and aren't lowered to the floor!

I'd take the BMW or Merc anyday.

I paid a bit extra and upgraded to one ona recent trip to the States. although it was only the V6 version, it was still a fun drive and the looks are awesome. But funnily enough a lot like the old Rover P2!!!!

I'm with vandamauler - I reckon they look fantastic and although not usually a fan of US cars, I'd have a 300C in a second.... so long as it was the V8 of course !
Love Mercs too ( although totally lost their way between mid-nineties and now ) - Wouldn't want a BMW as a present

It drives soooo smooth, loads of torque, relaxed, chilled out driving and its fully loaded and theres room for 2 adult bodies in the boot...What more could you want for the money???

I do hate "Badge snobbery".

It's not badge snobbery in my opinion. It may be derived from the same platform as an E-class but its not a cheap E-class. Its just cheap.

Styling is a personal thing.

Give me a convertable GT any day, but at close to £200K, I`ll have the Chrysler...

High Rollin!!!
