I have a 335i coupe with Sports Package and the ride is hideous - the steering is also not assisted enough. I believe the C63 AMG is also hard, which in my books is a no-no for Merecedes. I'm going to change back to MB and hope they keep their core brand values intact. I am not an old man either.. 34 yrs old.
Lol, you do realize it is called a 'sports package' for a reason. And yea should get back into a Benz.

I'm 33 years old and have BMW with sportspackage and I'm going to have cars with sportspackages for another 10 years. Comfort isnt a priority and I guess thats why I wont be driving a Mercedes the next 10 years either. LoL.

I think it actually looks pretty decent in those Pictures, which is rare for my eyes when it comes to this car.

Good to see it's a solid car, as I'm sure it is. I sat in and checked out another one yesterday, one thing I've personally noticed is although the interior feels strong, they seemed to do some cost cutting in areas that are more plasticy than the same areas in the W211, I think the theme is less "elegance" as it was with the 211, and more strong-powerful.

It seems many reviewers aren't too fond of the looks, and I agree with them about the proportions for the most part. What I'm curious of, is have reviews of newly launched E-Classes in the past had the same polarizing reactions to the aesthetics of the cars?
