My wife wanted one also. I had an'87 560SL drove it until 175k miles, then got a '96 e320 as a company car. I really liked that car, nice power, handled well for what it was and had a nice trunk. So i entertained her and went to see a c something. Nice looking car, plush interior. I also made her look at a 325i. Both cars were 03 low miles, she preferred the MB in all except one area: driving. We own the 325i and both like it, handles great, a little light on power though. Major drawback:small trunk. I am considering getting rid of it for an older 7 series. So what does all this drivel mean? Since MB got invloved with Chrysler the quality ratings have gone way down, maintanance is $$, and there seems to be something about driving a benz that makes other drivers aim for you, and cut you off. I got more fingers in mine than any other car I have driven. Go drive the new Hyundai sonata, just withhold your thoughts until you do. Lex or Infinity would be the other choices, I owned an infinity and loved it, and the dealer experiance was great.
I would buy again:
Hyundai
Infinity
BMW
Older benz-E55 AMG
Subauru
I would not buy:
Ford
Dodge/Chrysler
