Have you seen the Mercedes Winter Event commercial?
It involves some Christmas items, an old time craftsman
welder doing his thing with some sparks flying, and then you
see the front of a red Mercedes C300 Sports Sedan. This C
Class Mercedes has some good looking exterior lines with its
4-door layout. Inside it has a modern interior that seats
5-passengers.

This sports sedan is available in 6 trim levels ranging from
the C300 up to the C63. The entry level C300 has a 3-liter
V6 engine making 228 hp. A 6-speed manual transmission
is available as well as a 7-speed automatic with manual shift
mode. Expect a 0-60 time in the mid 7-second range.

The 2009 model has a bit more interior passenger room with
logical placement of controls – stereo, heating/air conditioning,
and navigation. Additionally, this car has a higher level of fit
and finish as compared to the last model.

Last, but not least, as is suited to this winter commercial,
the C300 is available with 4Matic all-wheel drive. This
means that Santa gets were he is going on time and in
fine style! The C300 allows drivers to get into this entry
level Benz for about $30,000.
