RE: Who is the target market - 4/6/2007 4:19:07 PM    mbz300sdl Posts: 2467 Joined: 10/26/2004 Status: offline Well i am thinking 20s and 30s white collar both male and female college grads same as the Audi A4 and BMW 3 but i think the new 2008 is going to attract some older buyers more than the younger ones. But i am 21 and have no interestest in a C maybe cause i have beens driving S-classes. I like both small and large cars but as far as MB i go larger unless i can get myself a cream puff C36 or C43. lol _____________________________ (in reply to BlueSilver) Post #: 5

It may also attract previous W201 owners since Mercedes has made claims of boosted reliability. Plus a diesel hasn't been offered since 87'. I really don't know. _____________________________ 1984 Mercedes 190D-SOLD! 1999 Honda Civic DX- Current DD 1986 Mercedes 190E-16v-On the way (in reply to mbz300sdl) Post #: 6

RE: Who is the target market - 4/6/2007 7:58:52 PM    BlueSilver   Posts: 899 Joined: 2/24/2006 Status: offline Thank you so much for your honest opinions. I am 40, finally finishing Law school, and interested in the C230 or C280. When I drive my 2000 CLK to the dealer to shop for my new car, they wont even let me look at the C230! They drag me over to that MB SUV, whatever it is called, and wont get off. I DONT LIKE IT. Maybe I'm a big kid. Maybe I'm trying to save money or gas. I basically had to fire my salesman and find another one; he absolutely would not listen to me. What would I do with an SUV? Go hunting with it? Anyway, I started thinking he was right, maybe I'm too old to drive a C230.......crud. Charles (in reply to AMGMercedes) Post #: 7

Just look at the majority of older people driving around in massive luxury cars like the Ford Crown Victoria's or the Lincoln Town Car. He seems like he's self interested in his own likes. I could see if you brought a family of four into the showroom and that's why he took you to an suv, but that's weird. _____________________________ 1984 Mercedes 190D-SOLD! 1999 Honda Civic DX- Current DD 1986 Mercedes 190E-16v-On the way (in reply to BlueSilver) Post #: 8

They are very attractive cars that anyone could fall in love with regardless of price. I hope the '08s are even better, not less. Blue. (in reply to AMGMercedes) Post #: 9
