Re: Autobild: (new) MB C350 vs Audi A4 3.2 vs BMW 330i

Last time Autobild tested BMW 330i (E90) vs Audi A4 and C350 (W203), Audi came on first place, MB on second place and 330i on last place.
The bimmer was the latest car on the market but still it lost to both the old A4 and old C-class.
Thats another reason why I think 330i is coming on last place again.

the BMw 330i is doomed in this comparison...

Do you have scans of that last test by Autobild where they compared the W203 C350, E90 330i, and B7 A4? Is on available here on GCZ?

Re: Autobild: (new) MB C350 vs Audi A4 3.2 vs BMW 330i

as I predicted on first page, once again Autobild puts BMW on last place with the argument,
BMW on 3rd place because of the initial cost and poorer engine speces than the other two.
(source: E90post)

and the scans


Its getting so predictable when reading Autobild. Booring!!

Stupid reasons to put it on the last place, but anyways, kudos to the winner!

Their Conclusion:
There is a star at the middle-class with the new c-class, which is going his own way. Awesome design, fine suspension, prestigious premium class extras - which garantuee the W204 the success.
But the new Stuttgarter ist not perfect. There are no clever ideas by the engine technique connected with a lowering of consumption and emission, the price of the new c-class is alarming high. When bmw in summer new engines starts and Audi in novemver the next A4 presents, then the c-class may get problems.

Re: Autobild: (new) MB C350 vs Audi A4 3.2 vs BMW 330i

I won't say anything 'cause BMW didn't win and honestly i don't care, i know what would be my choice, but what bothers me is that poorer engin specs cr@p! Nonsese, bs and nothing else! Lowest emissions, lowest fuel consumption, almost equal power and they call it poor?

Autobild can bm...

Re: Autobild: (new) MB C350 vs Audi A4 3.2 vs BMW 330i

So they take the 330 and not the 350 and bitch about the engine? Than they put the BMW last because of high initial cost, but say that the C-class is alarmingly costly?

That's it, autobild has lost all the little respect I had for them.

Re: Autobild: (new) MB C350 vs Audi A4 3.2 vs BMW 330i

I'll rank them, this way:

1: BMW 330i
2: Mercedes Benz C-350
3: Audi A4

Audi got an advantage of "price-tag" whereas, rest (both) are "head-to-head" ...!

Maybe it is wise for MB to wait until next year to plug in the new V6s. The A4 I think it going to breach the 300hp barrier with its V6.
