Exclamation Might be time to part ways...

Hey guys i think it might be time for me to part out of my car and start a new project and have some new loving with a different car. But i am having a HUGE problem on looking for another car. I been through this already and wanted a g37s but i drop that want. I am looking at either an A4 or a c300s 4matic or c350s. I want something 4 doors and luxury but not lose my crave for power. You guys know anything about the c350 and c300 4matic and a4? if so that would be great!

The new C-Class is nice, saw the coupe as well. I like the coupe better.
Never own an Audi so dont know much about it but ive had the E-Class and 2 C-Class, I like them a lot, very solid even at high speeds

how did you like your c class? are they easier to gain hp than our horrible high compression is350.. and is the c300 4matic as bad as our is250 awd?

I've sat in the c350 and the g37s. My cousin owns the g37s and my cousins friend owns the c350. Both are manual cars and both are very nice. If you are asking for my two cents, I would definitely choose the g37s hands down anytime any day. Why? It just seems more luxurious in so many ways, a much sportier feel, and you just know it's a very well built car. As for the c350, I sat in there and felt like I gained 5 years. The interior just looks like the e class, very old looking.
G37s all the way!

Out of those choices I'd honestly just keep the IS350.

The G is nice but the A4 and C are just "meh..."

I had the 99 supercharged model for about 3 years 150K miles no problem, then I got an 05 C230 supercharged up to 120K without any problem as well, then an E320(much more comfortable).
G37 coupe = sporty, G37 sedan is aiight..
Out of those 3 id get the C350, if I ever go to another brand other than Lexus i'll go back to Mercedes

G37s hands down. Unless you are 30 years old + with kids, then a C300/A4 makes some sense. (Not including the C63/S4)

To be honest, I'll consider the 2012 335i. They have some impressive gas mileage for the power output. They get 34 MPG on highway, yet has 300 HP.

C350 for me..
The g37s is nice but is EVERYWHERE! and is been out since 2008.
C350 is nice. Especially with that LED fog lights. You can't go wrong with either tho. Test drive them both and go from there.

smokyis350 - my bro told me the new 328 n20 engine pushes about 5.6/5.7 seconds 0-60 and the n55 engine for the 335i pushes only 5.3 seconds 0-60. Yeah the gas mileage may be great but I don't understand why they made a slower version of the 335.
More info can be read here: http://www.bimmerfest.com/news/59832...35i-lap-times/
I've seen the new 335 sedan. I would wait for the coupe! Coupe is always must sexier haha

New A4 would be my pick. Rare, exclusive, killer 2013 front LED's, and that understated German elegance.

If your looking for extra HP, then you better be looking for an Audi S4 or an AMG.
