Of course , users see it looks a lot better than the new 3 series. Only BimmerFans will denied that fact, but the most of the people is talking with their selection...

New 3 looks like crap. I don't have an MB vs BMW preference. I just buy the one I like at the time. Had an 08 M3 that I think still looks great. The new 3 front/hood just isn't appealing at all and the car is way too big.

Unclear why the article stated that BMW was clearing out E90s in prep for intro of the F30. The F30 has been out close to a year now, correct?

C class stands for Cheap and yet the owners think they are driving something way better than say an Accord and in reality, it's not that much better IMO. Sorry MB, you will never sell me one of these pos's. Any enthusiast would laugh at this car, it's only halfway decent when AMG works their magic

The C class MB is a lot cheaper than the 3 series Beemer.
MB has positioned the C class as the 'cheapie' intro vehicle to get the new generation X people out of their Honda or Hyundai and into the 'splendor' of the MB world.

I am always given a C class sedan to drive when my car is being serviced. It may be the 'low end' MB but it is a great little car that is certainly a Mercedes through and through. It drives and feels like an MB for sure.
