well...c32 amg they dont make it anymore (correct me if im wrong) now is only c55 amg... or if your talking about a used one lol.....but yeah ...
i believe that we are talking about the looks plus the performances...if c230 stock VS 350z stock ...i would go for the Z.....but if considering 4 doors ..look and performaces.....why the c230 modded or c32 amg(used)...
just go get an Audi s4 ...since 4 wheel drive ..look and speed also brand....or volvo s60r...well just my opinion ...no offense..

well for one. my c32 amg in stock form will straightline beat an s4 (b5 or b6). and modded it will keep up and still be extremely reliable. i'm not knocking z's, i actually love the way they look and think they perform ok as well. i'd take an evo over one any day. i had a guy w/what looked to be a bolt on z pacing me and blowing by me on saturday. after he did it about 5 times i couldn't take it anymore and from 30-80 put about 3 cars on him.

as for those saying the c class is a poor mans benz...well then a z is a poor mans g35 :P

what about the 2000 328ci!!!! i would get an audi but those are f******* expensive with a 328ci im looking at 17 OTD at a dealer maybe? I would be paying it off pretty easily. Any1 know if these cars have potential... are they smooth.. are they fast? 192hp i6 RWD doesnt sound too fast to me :/ any feedback on this would be welcome.

Not quite. Two different markets. Another good example would be the Boxster being a poor mans Porsche.

Sorry to hear it, and stay away from the C230. I had to drive one for two weeks (my sister's car) when I couldn't drive mine and I've not spent a longer fortnight in my life! I'd rate the Z's interior higher than that piece. 328 is a very different story, but I'm too unfamilar with them to tell you much. My friend has a blue 325 and really loves it.

Aren't these paradoxes, though?
