C, E and S have its own class and specifications.... usually can distinguish by looking at the headlights.... as for the 180 etc... just add another 0 to it and it will represents the Capacity of the car.... eg 180 = 1800 CC.... etc...

No lah.. jUs curious how come got so many diff class only... -
C class is for those who wants an E class but can't afford one.. E class is for those who wants an S class but can't afford one.. whhahaha.. just kiddin
C classes are cheaper while S classes are the higher end models.. there's still the A class, those bo ka cheng ones.. haha -
For me, the C and S classes are the most beautifully designed, the E class looks like a bug with 4 detached eyes unlike the former.
-
A, C, S, E, SLK, CLK, CL, SL, are all the model designations. a C class, Junior Excecutive class, is the equivalent of a BMW 3 series, or an Audi A4... Medium Luxury class, E Class, 5 Series, A6. Super Luxury class, S Class, 7 Series, A8.
Its just like the difference between a Lancer and Gallent, or a Civic and Accord, or a Mazda 3 and Mazda 6.
As for the number,s it denotes the engine specifications. -
i like my model of the E class from 92 - 95 around there...cant remember
back then merc really were bulit like tanks, lack of electronic gadgetry meant no system cock-ups unlike the current ones.
the E-200 engine in particular is extremely hardy, already 12yrs old and its still running, nvr had probs wif it, only sent car for refurblishing of interior together wif upgrading the body panels and changing all the main lights and
as for its internals i only had probs wif the aircon fan and engine belt together with the auto transmission due to wear and tear. i really love the front view, with the flared arches and stout n boxy body, very very executive look yet also intimitating... -
