Dude, we're all just giving out our .2-cent opinions here, so chill. It's a forum. I really don't care. Like I said, in my opinion, the C will not be reliable as a G from my experience. Relate your posts to the OP, because that's who I'm relating my posts to, and I have no interest whatsoever in arguing my opinion versus yours.

I do not understand the fascination so many people have with these little benzs. If you are going to buy a mercedes, then buy a mercedes and get are real model like a S, CL or SLK. On these smaller ones, you are paying extra for the name and the symbol on the hood. They are lower quality/priced designed for those who cannot really afford a mercedes benz. You can get noticably more value elsewhere on these junior branded mercedes'. Pretty much same is true with bmw. On the little ones, you are paying a premium for the badge, but not getting the added quality like you do with the larger models.

First of all, the SLK is smaller than C-class. Secondly, the C-class is by far the biggest seller in the MB lineup. You can make an argument that some people buy them for the symbol on the hood, but the fact of the matter is plenty of people buy them because they like them. Saying that people buy them because they can't afford a "real" Benz is just a silly statement. Lots of people prefer smaller cars because of the way they drive/handle. And other people love German engineering and the road feel of a "premium" German coupe or sedan.

Stuck with you or not stuck with you, because the words are under my post, they are my opinion regardless of how they may have struck you--that is in the same way that whatever you posted goes for no more than just your opinion.

I always comment back because, for every other message I post, there just happens to be someone who responds back to it with their "opinion" on how much my opinion is wrong. Like I even care about what they think.
I never respond back to anyone's posts unless they 'quote' my post and then start writing me an entire essay like this guy did. So, no offense, but bother looking on how the posts actually begin.

same can be said about the G37... why so many people get a G37 and not a "real" infiniti like the M56?? simple... either people can't afford the higher end or they just like the G37/C-class more... in the end, it's just personal preference

I totally agree with this statement! When I bought my Cayman S, it wasn't because I couldn't afford a 911. I bought it because it was a mid engine porsche and I personally think it looks better then a 911.
Fact is I saved $30k from not buying a "Real Porsche 911" and applied it towards a 3 year lease on a IPL

instead of cheap, i call it simple lol. but yea, it's kinda cheap, but so are comparable BMWs, and I don't think the infiniti interior is much better, just a little bit. I would say that best interior in this class would be either Lexus or Acura. They have beautiful interior and great quality
