...this guy!!!! deal was not made with car pictured ;)... On another note, I'm playing golf with my dad who has leased 3, 6-speed, G-coupes and he now ready for another car. He says to me "What do you think about the C250 coupe?...Well, I said, it's a 4cyl and it's an automatic. REALLY? That's what you want? He says "I like the looks, and it's lighter" Yeah but it's way slower, how about a 350?...so now I am off to find him a deal on a C-coupe. Jeeze what is with these cars????

Honestly i never like the looks of the current generation of C-Class Coupe.

I prefer the 4 door.

*Altough if i have to buy a C-Class, i'll have the C63 in Metallic Blue and Hood Ornaments plus Walnut trim. I even wonder is that even exist..

Wasn't entirely serious. Mostly just joking about how much the Mercedes ended up looking like a Honda.

Kinja'd!!!

I love the looks of them, although they're getting on a bit now. I hope the replacement is going to be as good looking.

But in all seriousness the V6 Accord is the better sporty coupe despite the wrong wheel drive...and you can get it with a proper gearbox

Tell him to get a Challenger. It still rides on an E-Class platform. And if you get the V6, Italian engine!

Ya, i agree.

Anyway, how hard is it to find the merc that i request?
I'm planning to get her just before the current gen ends.

Kinja'd!!!

Like this one only with standard looking+hood ornaments, because i'm planning to rebadge it.

Ya, i hope their will.

Because i'm on a market for it.

If they're not as good as the current gen then i'll buy the one of the last C63..

I won't argue that. When I was in the market 4 years ago, I test drove a C350. Felt like such an old man car. It felt sort of numb and distanced from the road, courtesy of all the electronically controlled stuff. Maybe it needed a sport package? And I daily a Grand Marquis, mind you. Haven't driven the Accord, but I have ridden in one, and yep, I won't argue that statement.

As far as color and interior you can custom order whatever you like if you are willing to wait and pay...but I don't think you can get the hood ornaments...but I'm in the US they may have different options where you are.

His muscle car days are long gone. :)

I see.
Yes, i'll really wait for her. Afterall perfections needs time.

But still, i really like C-Class with a hood ornament, because in here the premium taxi service is using C-Class and all of them have hood ornaments, which is beautiful.

Like I said your market may have that available but I think it's unlikely with an AMG, ask a local dealer.

Ya, i will.

At least in here you can have the E-Class with Business Line package, but i don't like it. They even offer me to rebadge it as an E250 if i want, since my family already buying mercs from there for about 50 years.

I'm only asking this because I honestly don't know, but does Audi not make any RWD luxury cars?

Tom McParland > The Prince of Peugeot

Perfectly valid question...but the answer is no FWD and AWD only :)

Just thinking outside the box lol

They are cool cars but without the Hemi...why bother. :)

Yes, I love Honda.

My 2004 Accord Coupe looks surprisingly like a Mercedes CL. I feel like if I put AMG wheels on and some MB badges, I can actually convince people it is one

You should recommend the E-Class coupe to him. It's based on the same platform but it's a pillarless hardtop design.

Too expensive

Any year requirements (as in new only or not)?
