Horrible looking thing. Rear end from a poverty spec Insignia and the front end is just a horrible melted mess. .
I am Asian and i will be purchasing mine in the brilliant blue with the titanium grey wheels...is that shocking for you?
In other news, non racism related, the Merc model configurator is suggesting that this comes with the sports exhaust as standard unlike the saloon and estate.
Is it wrong to state/comment if a particular ethnic group buys a particular kind of car?

(As much for the tasteful colour combo as for the calling out of racism where it doesn't belong! I like a nice blue performance Merc.) I am Asian and i will be purchasing mine in the brilliant blue with the titanium grey wheels...is that shocking for you?

I'd be very surprised if more than a few people hadn't reported that post for offensive content.
I'm struggling to see which part of "the Asian's will buy them in their thousands, in white with a black roof and black wheels" is either racist or offensive. In fact I'd like you both to point out which specific part(s) you think are racist and offensive please as clearly neither of you know the meaning of either word.
Fits the stereotype? Yes very much so. Racist? No.

I think I much prefer the looks of this one to the last but will have to wait until I see it in person. Hopefully this model isn't as popular with the barry brigade as the last one was, ruined the car in my eyes.
I prefer the previous one (W204) in both saloon and coupe guise. I've seen a few of the W205 saloons in the flesh and they are a bit meh. Would love a W204 saloon as my next car but the barry boy factor is off putting, especially since I'm Asian....Ozzie Osmond said:

Would sticking a huge engine in it and increasing the price by £25k turn it into a great car? I very much doubt it.
The difference in driving a non-AMG car and an AMG is £25k and it does turn it into a great car.Would sticking a huge engine in it and increasing the price by £25k turn it into a great car? I very much doubt it.
I previously owned a C63 which WAS liking driving a different car compared to my previous C350 in nearly every way except appearance.
Is it sexist to say women like little french convertibles? Or ageist to say teenagers like hatchbacks? Or racist to say old white men like expensive sports cars, even though they look daft driving them?
Nothing derogatory was said, in fact if certain ethnic groups aspire to own premium vehicles, and are associated with them, isn't that a compliment?
Lighten up

Well quite obviously yes.But as above, if you need it explaining, it's probably not worth explaining. This place is thoroughly saturated by boorish, bigoted, right wing relics. It's thoroughly unpleasant at times. I've all but given up reading most threads due to the inevitable content.
