Good lord..... I leased the E for 13 months, I picked it up late June/ early July so renewal should be around late July/ early august.
Work sent me an email telling me to put an order in for a new car if I want one. Typical lead time is 3 months for new car.... and they sent me this now?!?!?!?!? Way early!
So... what to get.....
I'm sticking w/ a V6 and auto.
RWD is fine.... in NJ I just can't justify a 4 matic just yet.....
Currently have a 2006 E350
Sunroof
Harmon Kardon logic 7 440 watt system
6 disc CD changer
Heated seats.
I'm looking at:
C350 sport sedan
CLK350 sport
E350 sedan
I think this time around I want fun factor... my E class is fine, decent power but mushy handling (no sport package).
0-60
C350 6.1 seconds
CLK350 6.4 seconds
E350 6.5 seconds
A couple weeks ago I had an 06 C230 sport sedan, it handles pretty damn good (rides hard) but has no power, the C350 has the handling and power.... but it is small.
CLK350 has the handling and power (not as good as the C because of size and weight) but a weak stereo system acoustically.
The E is fine, lacking on power/ handling when compared to the others but can sit 5 adults comfortably, monstor trunk and nice and smooth.... BUT I HAVE ONE ALREADY!
Sigh..... I dunno yet. Time will tell.....
I skipped the V8 models because of fuel economy and other things that I can not discuss at this time
The current V8's have 302 HP and 339? tq... our new V8 in the S class has 383 HP and 392 tq
Suggestions?
