That video nailed it, the C has been living in the shadow of the 3 series. Finally they added some sport to it, but honestly I doubt it will really ever equal the level of prestige or sport of the 3 series.

We won't really know that on this new C350 for another 18-months to 2 years or so...and that will also give us time to see how well the new 3-series is built.
Now of course reliabilty, quality, and ergonomics are going to be important on every car and if a well established luxry car maker can't meet those basic necessities they do need to focus on that first which I hope is what MB is doing.
