I was considering getting either a Mercedes Benz c280 or an Acura TSX. I test drove the c-class first. A month later, I took a TSX for a test drive, and I was shocked that the TSX was 10 times nicer than the c-class. Wow! The most salient difference to me was the cheapness of MB's interior... especially those buttons and glovebox. Acura has nice buttons and glovebox. Another thing is that the Acura has a smaller engine, less cylinders, and less horsepower, but it drove just as nicely as the c-class. Screw MB. They really are overpriced.
