Yet another Mercedes thread

Please school me on the earlier C32 AMG and the later C55 AMG... Can these still be driven 4x a week for commuting?

I've seen 5k for a C32 to 12k for a C55.

I like the C32 and C55. I used to use a W211 E55 as a daily, but it was a little much. 500+ lb ft of tq is fun and gets up and goes, but not in traffic. I would get a C55 instead of the C32 as it is NA and you don't need to worry about the supercharger.

Do the C32/c55 have air suspension, or just their E class siblings?

I won't own another Benz with air suspension, that's for sure.
