I don't know about the C350 being the "whole package". Honestly, I don't know whats so great at all about the C. It sags in pretty much all categories except for exterior looks. Performance wise it's in last place, interior wise it only beats out BMW which isn't really that hard to do, and is far from a value compared to the competition (such as the G). So what is it that's so great about the C? I don't think it's a bad car but it doesn't really excel in any category except for looks and nameplate, which makes me wonder what's so great about it?

actually as a C class owner, the headlamp washer coming out on the 10th windshield wash is pretty stupid if you ask me. There is not actual button to activate them like on my RX. So if you want the headlamps washed, you have to cycle through 10 times of windshield wash.

This is made even more stupid when you realize that a US spec Top of the line C class with Premium II package has 3 unused buttons on the center dash.

I gotta go with the G 35.

1) G 35 Love the design (looks are subjective)
2) C350 I heard many people say the G was rough and thrashy near redline
3) G 35 Great value.

sorry guys, just been enjoying my 3 day weekend. I see a lotta valid arguments on each side, and yes i do agree that in terms of SPORT/LUXURY the C is better, in terms of SPORT ONLY the G is better, though i have to say the G really doesn't feel much more expensive than an altima

Not sure what you're trying to say here, but "blue teeth" caught my attention; the C class has more than one bluetooth?

BMW is the German version of the Infinity, performance is top design priority, MB is the big brother of Lexus, design for comfort in general. Audi is the German version of Acura, design to be somewhere in the middle ground, comfort and handling.
