My favourite is also the C43.
It's obviously (for car lovers) not a conventional C-Class, but it's not as obvious and in-your-eyes as the C63. It's understated, yet looks very powerful, but stays really classy... I think it's the better mixture.
The 500E had that too...

As second favourite comes the C63, screaming power, and infinitely powerful and dirty.

Then comes the 190, a classic. Love the shape it has.

The W203 does nothing to me: even I can't see it's an AMG... I like understatment, but won't give so much money to have the same car as my neighbour's 200CDI!

OK, this explains why new MB steering wheels are not very good-looking. The designers were told to use retro elements in the design and so they were inspired by this :

I took a picture and uploaded it into a photo album on Sony ImageStation - We're Closed - which doesn't exist anymore.

And in those days I had my old Fujifilm 4700 FinePix digital camera!

Notice how the interior of the 190 was well made, but appears CHEAP in comparison to the current W204.

Yeh, the materials and the quality are better with every generation. Nevertheless I prefer the W203 interior design.
