ive noticed that european cars in general the interiors are more likely to be more "cold" and the seats in general harder and usually more supportive. i've never liked any of the seats in any lexus except for the IS-F, since i think they are all designed for short, fat, people.

Well, the average american is...overweight (or close to average lol)
Theres something i like about the coldness/small feeling of the C interior...kind of bold-looking i think?

I just went to test drive the C300(premium + sports + 7Gtronic) this morning. I didn't like the 3 spoke steering wheel; other than that, it was not bad. Maybe the C350 will be more attractive.
(btw, there was a brand new SLR McLaren parked outside that dealership looking for lucky owner. gonna go back for some pics for sure.)

I go to the C class driving event soon. Looking at pics and just specs, its just a let down. This car offers NOTHING over the competition, even the older competition. The main reason to buy it is looks, if you like how it looks.

I mean if its not a AMG63 or AMG sport, its really mudane. Are the only desirable Benz cars with those kits are packages?

In my family we really haven't been impressed by Mercedes in a long time. So we stick to Lexus and the occasional BMW.

I just picked up a new E-class yesterday (non-AMG)...

Interior is nice... I like the classic MB look... It's all personal taste really... I've never truly "loved" the interior of any car honestly

E-class interior is much nicer than the C-class.

Thanks

Looks pretty good to me.
It's center console/radio that looks horribly cheap, worst than cadillac

One thing though-amg seats are sooo nice and supportive

I wonder why the floor mat isn't labeled AMG?

Personally I don't like nav screens that "rise" from the dash...

Reminds me too much of Donny Most from happy days:

It's a C class! What do you expect? I really didn't like the CLS I test drove interior compare to my CL.

I think I would still choose a W124 over the current C Class (its unbelievable how bigger cars are now) if I can find one in good condition. Theres something about Mercedes sedans made in that area...
