I saw a review of this Benz on Speed last night...something like 495 hp, 0-60 in 4.5, and 20mpg on the highway. I'll take it.

 

I hope you got 130,000

 

Ha...you'd have to move that decimal quite a few places before I could afford it, but I think it's worth it.

 

Looks ricey to me. I prefer the looks of the FC.



:rice:



They're cheaper too!

 

rice? you must be insane. have you ever driven any of the SL series? those things are nice as hell, they handle great, have an uber smooth ride and have gobs of power and torque. its fine german engineering, its anything but rice.

 

Nope. I'm as sane as you are.

I know its a fine German automobile. I like fine German automobiles. My wife drives an Audi A6, and its very nice.



My criticism of the car as pictured, is that it looks like HELL. Oh sure, its fast and sweet and all that, but why did they have to gussie it up like a riced out Tiburon? Yuk!

 

It's not that you're insane, it's that you have shitty taste in cars....no, that can't be true, unless your wife picked out the A6 and FC.



Seriously, I don't see anything ricey about that car, and I like my FC a whole lot, but if I could have twice the power, a smooth, quiet ride, and a molecule of reliability, I'd be a whole lot happier.

 

i think its nice, but i'd go for a fd any day. better speed, looks for the money. Although the bradbus is nice

 

Okay, so maybe I was a bit harsh. I still think they could have made it a lot prettier, especially the nose.

 

Better speed? The Benz has almost 500 hp from it's Kompressed V8...

As for the looks, I really like it, but most people don't like my taste in cars. For example, I think the best looking sport compact right now is the RSX...gasp. lol
