1: I purchased my car cash, I could just as easily put that $45,000 down and financed  the balance on any other Mercedes class

2: Some female drivers like myself the size of the car is a factor and the C230 is the perfect size for me. 

3: The C230 4matic  is all the car I require, therefore its all the car I was prepared to pay for. 

Why would I pay for features I don’t need only to boast about having them?  What’s wrong with getting the car you like in spite of the class or series? 

To the BMW fanatics : you  speak for BMW but Mercedes speaks for itself.

To Mercedes Benz snobs: for all  that you’re, and all that you are not, at the end of the day in some countries, you are merely a taxi and in most other places you are just a  car.

 BMWs are for those who think they are going places and Mercedes Benz are for those who believe that they have arrived.  Two equally important stages in life that’s why I like them both.

are you really michael phelps? or is it a joke name.
and if michael phelps loves mercedes benz, let him, as my dad loves them too.
but you got the fact that all bmws look the same wrong.

its mercedes that does same sausage different lengths not bmw. bmw DOES indeed have their own personality, wheras mercedes is the same the c lass is a mini s class, as well as glk, and sls mclaren. bmw is going ALL different.

I totally respect your opinion. Even if it’s wrong.

If your pathetic mercedes was more special than BMW, they would b the leader in the premium market segment. But the leader is BMW, and this fact alone is enough to crown BMW as the king in the automobile segment. Mercedes is the 2nd and will stay in that place as long as BMW produces automobiles.
By the way, as for the exterior beauty, I wouldn’t confuse BMW with another brand. I can’t say the same about your mercedes-benz which could be easily confused with lexus or other suchlike rubbish.

Look at BMW in the past 30 years, they are almost as lazy as Porsche when it comes to exterior designs. Every 6 years they do a suttle change to the way the car looks, same with the interior. If you have noticed a Mercedes Benz, you will notice that in the years since they first CREATED the automobile, they have took “CHANCES” and went outside the “envelope”, designed the car and changed it in its out going model, to look completly different. BMW still to this day shares the same style of headlights with the Same style grille.

True ofcourse that isnt really BMW’s goal, their cars are AMAZING to drive, comfortable, i’ll be honest, its the best drivers car for the road. For the sorta person who likes to go on those long back country roads in the mountains, takes some corners at some fast speeds and yet still feel firm, supported, safe and yet having fun too.

I’m the sorta person who has a passion for art, not so much art in a gallery, but for art in a car, looking at old Mercedes Benz’s from the 1960′s, or the original SL gullwing, breath taking cars, or even off topic, looking at a Pinin Farina Alfa Romeo Spyder or Ferrari… You catch my drift.

The people who designed those cars had passion, they loved cars, they wanted to design something functional yet Beautiful all at the same time. Who here has noticed the transformation Mercedes Benz has taken over the past decade? True a decade ago they used to cut corners, their cars had MASSIVE quality issues and they werent all the most striking to look at.

My point of argument is look at the BMW lineup, all of them, from the 3 series to the 7 series, all look the same, pretty much, they dont have their own personality, heart soul or mind, just ones 2 feet longer than the other. Same with the X3 and X5.

Now look at the Mercedes Benz Line Up. All and i mean ALL have their own personality, function, BEAUTY and style. From the C class, E class to the S class, all have their own personality. Id say the only car that looks identical to another model is the C class with the Emblem on the hood like the S class. But all of them have something different, something for everyone, and if you want a high end performance car, they even have that as well.

But what it comes down to is what do “YOU” want in a car? If you’re the sorta person who doesnt car about looks, just wants something fun to drive, then go for the BMW, i also bet you dont care what your house looks like, as long as it looks like a Typical German saloon car, alot of charcoal, blacks and whites, very bland. Not to be knocking you, it just seems to happen alot.

But at the same time alot of people who dont know ANYTHING about cars will buy a Mercedes Benz as well. But atleast theres those who are true Enthuesiasts, who know about the racing pedigree and the History and the technology and the quality that a Mercedes Benz has in its Lineup, they are the different people, who have their own personality.

So sure they showed up to the dinner party 3 seconds earlier than your than your friend in a CLS63, as you step out of your BMW M5, walking up feeling like you accomplished what you always dreamed of. Just remember this, when he rolls up through the circle driveway, with the water fall in the back drop, the birds, chirping, the gorgeous array of flowers, and the cobble stone pathway, all at the Dinner party will have to stand there and stare, looking past your dreary BMW and taking in the beauty, the scenery of a Magnificently built Mercedes Benz, and notice the man and his beautiful wife step out of this beautifully crafted machine, and will have to clap, and welcome that couple into the house… Not even noticing you in your technically faster BMW M5, and you will feel alone, and helpless, and you will have to kill yourself.

But dont despair, theres a Mercedes Benz dealership down the street from you, and they deal generously and are willing to do a trade :)

Was fun Gentlemen, have a good Night
