Engineered specifically for performance driving, the newly designed C300 Sport Sedan (C-Class) embodies seven years of automotive thinking.

Now more aggressive than ever, its dramatic 17-inch 7-twin-spoke wheels and new athletic profile are just the beginning. Restyling runs the full length and breadth of the vehicle — even to its underside, where superior aerodynamics work hand in hand with the new AGILITY CONTROL sport suspension that automatically senses and adjusts to different road conditions and driving styles.

An AMG front intake seizes air — and attention — as it channels brake-cooling wind to the wheels. The Mercedes-Benz star is positioned front and center.

Inside, dual-zone climate control and an 8-speaker radio/CD/MP3 sound system are models of easy-to-use simplicity. The multimedia interface, comprised of one central controller and a five-inch color display, can be hidden when not in use.

4MATIC™ 4-wheel drive option available.

MSRP: $31,975*
Engine: 3.0L 24-valve V-6 engine
Net power: 228 hp @ 6,000 rpm
Net torque: 221 lb-ft @ 2,700 – 5,000 rpm

The all-new 2008 Mercedes C-Class comes in three trim levels. There are two versions of the C300, which has a 228-horsepower, 3.0-liter, V6 engine: the Sport starting at $31,975 (add $3,240 for the 4Matic all-wheel drive system) and the Comfort starting at $33,675 (add $1,800 for all-wheel drive). The rear-wheel-drive-only C350 Sport, has a more powerful 368-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 and starts at $37,275.

The Sport models come with special shocks, springs, and stabilizer bars that provide a crisper ride. They also have some of the styling of the AMG performance models, such as 17-inch spoked alloy wheels and the characteristic Mercedes-Benz “star” (usually only found on coupes and convertibles) on the front grille. The Comfort version of the car has a conventional four-spoked steering wheel and burl walnut interior trim; the Sport models have a sport steering wheel and either aluminum (in the C300) or dark maple (in the C350) trim.

The most expensive option is the Multimedia package, which includes a navigation system and a 6-CD-player sound system with a 30-gigabyte hard drive. You can even download movies and videos and replay them on the little navigation system screen (though not while driving). A $1,350 Premium II package includes 60/40 fold-down rear seats and intelligent fog lights and Xenon headlamps that light the way around curves and corners.

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a focal point for Mercedes this year. Starting at just under $32k, this line of vehicles is being packaged now in effort to tap in to the BMW 3-Series market, which is a great move by Mercedes to reach out to this growing buyers market.

While the 3-Series is a fantastic auto, a Mercedes-Benz vehicle tailored to deliver a similar driving experience has a lot to offer at this price range which will give BMW a run for its money for sure. The Sport style comes in two flavors C300 or C350 which means you get a V6 3.0L or 3.5L 228 horsepower vehicle with 7 speeds and 17-inch staggered wheels. The Luxury class is 3.0L all the way but with styling rims and an optional panorama sunroof.

Here is link to the C-Class microsite which features a couple of videos. Definitely check them out. This shift on the part of MB is their entryway into younger consumer markets which in time will expand the general MB market all together because once you own a Mercedes it is difficult to go back.
