    I started looking at this car in 2002 when it was around 24-25 lakhs. I could not afford it then. I am still looking at it now. It's around 70 lakhs and I still cannot afford it now. I am a victim of inflation and the cars price has grown more rapidly than my salary.

    I completely agree. Amazing looks and specially the interiors. But in my opinion, not worth it at all. In fact, I've been considering actually taking a top end Kia Seltos or something similar. I know it may sound ridiculous to many, but the space and features are really forcing me to consider. I have a family of 4.

    while this newest generation is definitely a step up to the W205 model, the W204 model (2011-2014) is the handsomest looking C-class - it really looked distinct and comfortable in its own skin - whereas these later generation ones are just seem like they're trying to much to copy S-class looks and feel (not the worst thing, but it's still going to be dubbed "poor man's s-class" which is not so flattering in any social circle i'd imagine lol).
