My mum did the same thing, I told her to get a G6E, but no, she gets a new C220. Yeah it looks nice etc, is it worth the $70k (once optioned)...hell no.

I remember as a kid, growing up in the 90's, everyone who had a company car had a falcon or commy, usually a berlina or fairmont and then statesman/fairlanes for higher up. This doesnt seem to happen that much anymore.

Mercedes-Benz products are simply (from my experience at least) not fun to drive, and their build quality ranges from poor to deplorable.
