MERCEDES-BENZ C350 Sport

Leitura interessante este teste ao Mercedes de classe média:
"Within the ultracompetitive segment of entry-level luxury-performance sedans, the 2008 C350 hits the bull's eye several times, but misses two crucial targets: engine output and styling."
--
"The blunt nose of the car is reportedly in homage to the S-Class, but we all know its existence is to meet forthcoming pedestrian-impact regulations in Europe. Why else would Mercedes forfeit the previous car's aerodynamic shape, going from a 0.26 coefficient of drag to a new 0.30 Cd?"
--
"The C350 is enjoyable to drive, but it just doesn't make as much sense as a sport sedan as it should. It's a little down on power, a little short on interior space and just too long on price."
Pelo que li, o Sport está mal ali no nome... Nem sei porque raio a Mercedes ainda se dá ao trabalho de tentar fazer carros desportivos quando tem a AMG ali ao lado a trabalhar para eles. Ponham mas é o trabalho nas mãos de quem sabe, que é como quem diz nas mãos da AMG.
