C250 Coupe question by Mr.Deeds: 2012 Mercedes c250 Coupe vs 2012 Infiniti G37 Coupe? Both are about the same price. Leaning towards the Infiniti G37. What do you guys think? Care primarily about safety and quality. Somewhat wary of European cars cause of their tendency to break down after a while and the high maintanence fee but not completely closed to the idea. C250 Coupe best answer: Answer by KyleBoth the G37 coupe and Mercedes Benz C250 coupe are great cars but the G37 has established a more serious place in the luxury performance market due to its long term reputation in this segment. The Mercedes C250 coupe is fairly new to the luxury market going up against the Infiniti G37 coupe, BMW 3 series coupe & Audi A5 coupe. Over all the most competitive and respected rivals in the entry level luxury coupe segment has always been the Infiniti G37 coupe and BMW 3 series coupe which dominate the market. The Mercedes Benz C250 is a nice car but it carries none of the driving dynamics that the Infiniti composes, it does not out perform the G37 let alone the BMW 328i/335i coupe unless of course you enter AMG territory. The prime difference between the two is that the C250 coupe is basically a Luxury sport “appearance” vehicle while the Infiniti G37 actually accomplishes being a Luxury sport “performance” vehicle. Keep in mind Mercedes tends to attract a much older demographic while BMW and Infiniti primarily attract a more younger demographic. In terms of performance the C250 has no chance up against the G37 coupe. The C250 coupe composes a fairly anemic 1.8 liter engine emitting only 201 HP while the the G37 attains an impressive 3.7 liter V6 producing a potent 330 HP making it the class leader of standard horsepower against its rivals in its class. Infiniti has been the only competitor that has been able to come to par with the excellent driving dynamics of the BMW while Mercedes tends to lack its overall enthusiasm under its hood, regardless it makes up for it with its refined and supple interior. The only reason I could think of that would sway you in the direction of the Mercedes is the fact that its life cycle has just begun, so a redesign isn’t expected for another 4-5 years while the G37 has come to the end of its life cycle and will enter production in spring of 2013 as a 2014 model. Also keep in mind that Infiniti & Mercedes Benz are now partners so the next generation G37 coupe will be based off the C-class coupe platform […]
