Hi all! Sorry if i sound too silly. I was parking my humble Mazda3 one day beside a gorgeous Mercedes-Benz C-class sedan. I said to myself that I'm gonna buy one in 2011 or 2012, IF my stupid stock market portfolio earns profit again. hehe.
However, a question popped into my mind... what does the C, S and E mean in the C-class, S-class and E-class?
thanks in advance!

The c-class is the entry level car of mercedes. It is the same as a 3 series bimmer or an A4 Audi. The E-class is the next step up in price range and size. The S-class is the largest of the sedans and comes with v-8 to a v-12 engine. If I were you, I would aim for the c-class model which is still a great car and still a benz.
