It might be ugly, but at least you can tell everyone you drive a Mercedes.

The C230 is a piece of shit, the back is shaped like a pumpkin as well.

I agree, I hate the way the back looks. Why would mercedes bring it over here, BMW had a bad time with the 318Ti. I guess they just don't get it, hatchbacks sell big over in europe, but not nearly as well here.

Is it just me or is BMW and Mercedes sort of "Selling Out". Look at BMW's new 7 series. BMW used to be driver centered. Now the driver barely drives it. Benz is starting to make sum chrysler quality cars.

Well it isn't all hell for them(AMG and //M are hot), but i think they would be better off sticking to their roots a bit more.
