For the past couple months, I've been doing homework on what to possibly replace my '05 TL 6MT with. Kept her in great shape over the years, but with 183k miles on the odometer, it was slowly time to consider getting a newer vehicle. Just got a '17 RDX Tech for the wife and was hoping I'd get into the TLX but just didn't like the styling amongst other things. Checked out the GS 350 F Sport, Audi A4 and MB C300 Sport 4MATIC. Well, I pulled the trigger on the C300 and decided to keep my TL. Just not ready to let her go, and I'm pretty sure I'll be keep her for the long haul. Here's a pic of my TL and the C300 I just picked up.

 

Congrats on the benzito!!!!

 

Congrats!!

 

The TL has company...

 

LOVE, LOVE the new baby S-Classes!!!!!
congrats!!!

 

Thnx Justnspace!! This car got me falling in love all over again.

 

Congrats on the C-Class..

 

Such a beautiful car

 

Congrats on the new C-Class! It's the best looking Mercedes in that segment since the 190E 2.3-16 generation.

A colleague has a C300 coupe and its gorgeous. I hope you get 180K miles of fun with this one too.

 

Those split 5 spikes are gorgeous

 

Half way there to becoming eligible to be a moderator.

 

Congrats, loving the new design language on the MB sedans.
Actually mistook an E400 for an S earlier this week :shame:

 

lots of debadged e400 around here

easy to mistake them with c class as well

 

I did the same thing as well. The new design language is pretty sharp.

 

Perfect trim level for me to not expect a 70 yo woman behind the wheel! (And I say that in a very good way)

beautiful car.. good luck

 

I couldn't agree more, Just love the lines and the interior design. Thanks sir!

 

Suite ride

The new C-Class is just perfect. Friend of mine was looking at the C450 AMG and the C43 AMG. Both sick cars. C-Class has come a long way in just a decade. Enjoy it!!

 

Gorgeous! The new C-class is really good looking

 

very athletic looking car to me, not a fan of infotainment console but I'm not driving it so who cares what I say? Nice pick up OP.

 

 

Nice car! I love the rims!

 

Sweet car. I like the new benzes

 

MB always makes great looking cars. Congrats, OP!

This is interesting as I was just thinking the OP's new C- reminds me of previous E-classes. I noticed this trend even more with BMW's new models which all increased in size and proportion: the new 3-series seems like the old 5-, new 5- like the old 7-, etc. I guess I don't quite get why luxury manufacturers keep making larger and larger automobiles.

 

Thanks sir! The new C-Class just looks and feels great. And you're spot on, it's really hard to not notice the growing dimensions. In fact, from a distance, it's becoming tough to tell some models apart.

 

The growth is interesting. Would be a sight, to see a W205 next to a W201. The old 190 was a little car.

 

Sweet looking car. I'd warn you against maintenance and repair costs but unfortunately, that argument doesn't work so well against the TLX......

 

Congrats! Welcome to the club! The car looks beautiful... nice color choice

You will find it is a whole new world vs the TL and after half a year I'm still not bored of driving the new car vs the old TL.

 

How has the maintenance been? My wife looked at a C300 vs a C43 cabriolet yesterday. Curious about the maintenance costs?

 

So far the only thing I've done is put new tires on it. When I bought it I made them throw in a 2 year prepaid maintenance package. Going in next week for that.

 

got it
great negotiating idea! Thanks

 

I also made them tint it. Gotta have tint in Texas during the summer.

 

You would have missed the manual. The C is a nice car to lease for a few years.

 

Yep I hate that C-series. Very feminine car.
