Trying both is the way forward Xoulas804... do tell the dealer you are considering "the opposition" and you WILL get some discounts - we certainly did that

The GT also had an advantage, the controls were already familiar and a really nice evolution of what we had in the E87 - the GT is a very modern car and aligns with the new vision BMW has with the new X series, 4 series, etc. It really is a great car.

I hope you manage to remain in the family

Thanks for your advise! But too bad I don't get any discount from both dealers.

I am leaning more to GT as the price is same as C if both have the similar options. I drove my dad's CLK a lot, I don't like the MB driving experience.

But my wife wants a C as it's newly released.
