4 years newer
Faster by a huge margin
Engineered properly
Spares available
Nicer place to sit
Better engine
Better everything

Same price.

Anyone who actually pays 18k for these cars at this moment in time would have a screw loose. Cant blame sellers for trying I guess, but now is not the time when something like the above would blow it out of the water in every single department, with room to spare.

Likewise. A C Class, even with a V8, does nothing for me either.


The E63 or a CLS63 are be the Mercedes to justice to a V8. But you cannot buy and run one of those at the same cost as a Rover/MG V8.
