The New Mercedes-Benz C 200 is Extremely Accomplished

The New Mercedes-Benz C 200 is Extremely Accomplished

In this week's show, Ariff and Daniel talks Great Wall Motors' eventual reappearance in Malaysia, Toyota and Lexus' successful March, and a look into why some salespersons might appear to be 'ignoring you' on the showroom floor. In Part 2, the duo talks about yet another controversial new BMW design, a new Honda City Hatchback variant called the V-SENSING, before Daniel commemorates the 20th birthday of the original Volkswagen Golf R32.

Finally, in Part 3, it's all about the first impressions on the very, very impressive Mercedes-Benz C 200 Avantgarde Line. It might only have a 1.5-litre engine, but it packs an impressive punch to go along with its fantastic driving experience and its long list of features. It made us question whether it'd be worth it to cough up the extra dough for the higher-spec C 300, or the bigger E-Class.
