I for one am lookin forward to the new 08' mercedes c300 n C350
they totally changed the car around, added a different engine and WAY more horse power the c300 has 231 and the 350 has 280, and this is a luxary car folks. They're going back to the traditional look as the C class did from 1991 to 1999, i like it better. They also lengthened the car providing more room, and put a gps system in it

the exterior of the car is made from a new alloy thats 70% steel, this things a brick

I wont be buying one for a couple years because buying new cars is just a waste of money, i own a 1998 mercedes C230 and LOVE mercedes.

What do yall think of it, the site is provided below with the specs and pics

As a seven car Mercedes owner, I have seen and experienced the changes in a way that probably transcends most. My first Benz was a 68 220 Diesel sedan. It was heavy, underpowered and built like a tank. I moved up to a 71 280 SE, with an automatic and though I had gone to heaven. Later I bought another Diesel, this time a 74 240. Things got better financially and I stepped up to a 76 450 SL and then I was in dreamland. I changed brands to Jaguar for the next few years and was never quite satisfied. In 1996 I traded back to Mercedes in a 300 E sedan. In 2004 I bought a CLK230 and last year a 2006 SLK350.
I have always been a Mercedes affecianado at heart and recall my first love which was a 1955 300SL Gullwing. I suppose I am not done yet with buying Benzes and will certainly take a look at this one when they come out.

gas hog, and i don't like mercedes benz or bmw's anyway because they are all gas hogs and are highly overated.
