premneo Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I'm looking to get a new car in a few months. I had almost decided on the IS250, but I have seen some preview pictures of the 2008 C class. Anyone knows how it compares to the IS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 well...depends which model you will get. THe new C class will come in the sport and luxury models. THe IS would probably be a mixture of the two. However, im sure an IS250 will be much cheaper, since the C300 (i believe thats the only model coming out for now) will start around 34K. It will have about 230 hp versus the 204 from the IS. thats basically all we know for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I'm not a fan of the styling from the pictures I've seen, but I can't comment since I haven't seen a new C in person yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAH4546 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 There will be three models at launch: C300 Luxury, C300 Sport, and C350 Sport. The vehicle is expected to be priced very, very competitively with the IS. The option package prices are already out on the 'net. A base C300 Sport with 6MT will probably be less than $33k. I've also been considering the new C versus the IS, but the IS has awesome deals off MSRP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 it certainly will not be priced less than 33K. With the same engine (3.0) in the C280 right now, that is priced currently at $34,175. It probably will be a little higher than that to cope with the new styling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manolo1 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 ...and do not forget to add to your decision parameters the questionable reliability of first model year MBs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'm not a fan of the styling from the pictures I've seen, but I can't comment since I haven't seen a new C in person yet. I'm with Steve on this one... I haven't seen the 08 C-Class in person, but in the pics? :whistles: I hope it looks better in person. The IS is just damn Perrrrty. The 08 C-Class comes in the C300 and C350 Sport. C300 offers a 3.0 V-6 w/ 228 HP - 221 Ft Lb Torque and a 6-Speed Manual C350 offers a 3.5 V-6 w/ 268 HP - 258 Ft Lb Torque and a 7-Speed Auto.
