C class= 3 series= A4

S class= 7 series= A8
that is of course correct. now, i drove a C320 and a BMW 328. i would take the c class hands down. looks/styling/ride/comfort (the little there was) and well, performance isnt a topic of discussion with either of those cars

My neighbor/friend Ken just brought his new E300 home . His family keeps looking at it and it makes me look at it too! No offense to y'all but for me, it makes the 5er look cheap. Please convince me that the 5er is not just a sporty sedan but a classy sport sedan since I am gonna order my 530i within this month .

i drove a friends merc and i hated it.

it was sloppy and sluggish

the steering was fairly unresponsive and absorbed too much on the shocks, i didnt get any road feedback

after i got out i hugged my car and drove off with a grin

BMW is a drivers car for a reason, its made by engineers that actually push their cars.

It's funny nobody mention how $hit mercs are mechanicaly. The last 5-7 years it's been a downfall on mercedes from a mechanical point of view. Yes, they're still built to look nice on the outside and inside with quality materials used but way too many corners have been cut on the mechanics.
Ultimately, it is though down to each person to get what he/she likes. From what i can read you want a car to ooze luxury. I don't get how you think an e60 looks cheap but hey it's what you want in the end. And it seems you're more inclined to the comfort and luxury feel rather than driving performance so have a look on which car has these attribute the most. Don't get limited only to mercs though

I thought the first reply you received summarised it nicely myself, and if you read the replies in the following 3 pages it still says pretty much the same.......

The new M-B is not as good as the current E60.

My next car will be the new 5-series F10!
