I know they are totally different but i have had a 340 and it was a big mistake selling, so i have been looking for a new one in red, but i saw a C55 the other day and i think it is the best looking car i have ever seen but £49,000 way to much, but a dealer is offering me a new C class AMG full kit, sports brakes drilled, sports suspension, leather, memory seats. 18'' amg wheels, parktronic and loads more extras in jasper blue. I tried to get a 320 but none left so i will have settle for a 230 not as fast as a evo i know nor handling but the ride is very good and it does go quite well, my mates are 50/50, on looks the merc wins but i will be giving up a lot of performance and i have missed my 340.
