When I was a loan officer the main broker said "C and E classes are for the people that can't afford an S class". I always thought he was an ***. Anyway MB has come a long way with their "lower" class vehicles. The C class is simply stunning now, along with all the others. Before it was like they built the S class, then the E, and then what ever they had left was put to the C. Things have changed big time. Congrats.
