This doesn't make the car garbage or that Mercedes is going down the toilet either, per your other posts.

c-class: combine the both sport and luxury when you want to race use sport mode(if you want to relax you can find it by a button which is not available in 3er)

one more thing is you are using around 70% of 3er sporty driving because if you are driving 100% of sporty driving that's mean you are not driving in a legal street so you don't want that much of sporty driving car but if you are driving 90-95% of c-class sporty drive it will be fine to drive anywhere thats mean in daily sporty driving they will be the same but 3er will be better in a track race

Soooo c-class is better for daily driving sport and luxury car

So to even suggest that Mercedes hasn't or isn't even trying to get themselves together is just utter nonsense Matt and you know it. Nothing changes overnight and Mercedes had sunk pretty low. It is an ongoing effort that so far shows no signs of faultering.

The cold hard facts about the S and CL points a bright future, how could it not? Doesn't make sense at all for you to say otherwise. Consumer reaction to the S has been through the roof in all markets.
