awesome!

What was your impression of the "new c coupe"? I take it you mean the little hatchback that's coming out? I'm thinking I'd rather lose a bit of luxury, take a Civic Si and save $5-7k.

Your thoughts?

Ahh, why tease us like that? They're not taking reservations anymore at any of the sites. If anyone hears about this coming around again, please speak up FAST!

the only amg's were the 55's clk,e and ml
the new c coupe was really nice and i would consider it for my next daily driver after the cl is paid off.i happen to prefer cloth seats and that's the way they showed up.
next week in ny is the caddy event,sorry i do not have a link
