I think the C-class deserves a bit of credit with the new facelifted model. It seems like it gets trashed around here more than it should.

I think that's because we're all waiting for the new one

Re: Autobild: Sport sedan test (A4 3.2fsi, 330, C350)

Well i love it.. its like mini S.. i would take it over the 3er just cause i hate the 3er rear lights they like to jap style to me.. and i dont like the FL on the A4 at all..

PS
But i was shocked cause around here it seems that the 3er is faaar more superior.. ohh and the fact that the C is the oldest..

I think we do tend to trash the C more than what it deserves. I think as a car its fine, we just expect somthing of a much higher qaulity from Benz.

In OZ they say the 3-er is fantastic, but in no way does it shame the C, which post facelift is a fine car that actually runs the 3-er very close in some departments and trounces it for confort and ride quality. Last place goes to the the Audi with its poor ride quality and steering. I think it just goes to show, that road conditions in different countries can change comparison rankings very easily.

Re: Autobild: Sport sedan test (A4 3.2fsi, 330, C350)

I personally think MB will catch the 3er w/ the new model, after driving two of the latest modelds, including the C55(they should call it "C66", lol) they're almost dead on w/ the 3 in terms of the driving experience, just a few wrinkles to iron out and they'll get there. Needless to say the E90 remains untouched at the moment....

I'm surprised the 3-series didn't dominate. Interesting that old fogey C-Class did so well, guess I've been underestimating it. Guess with the new engine, steering and suspension changes it has greatly improved. Too bad its so pricey.

This is good for everyone, better cars for the consumers

It doesnt just get trashed here, but also in sales compared with 330i.
This is the first comparison test (ive seen and Ive seen many) where the 3er didnt get first.

Actually, there was another test where the C350 finished first but it was posted on the original GCF forum.
