I bought 340 based on how good the 330 test drive was.

If c 300 sucks in base form - guess what - lipstick on a pig is not going to make it a good car. It makes noises but like they said on the track and at the limit - it will all mean nothing. Meanwhile M340 behaves beautifully at the limit.
Yes but remember most of these cars won't see the track and even if they do, they'll still mainly be for commutes and highway driving in which they said the C43 handles greatly, I think its more than just lipstick this time, there seems to be a big gap/difference in C43 vs C300
