Vancouver International Auto Show: Mercedes-Benz

Updated for 2008, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a successful model for the brand around the world. Its success is due, in part, to a wide array of body-style and powertrain configurations, but also because it offers a more affordable entry into one of the most luxurious brands around. In the United States, the C-Class is offered with 3.0- and 3.5-litre six cylinder engines, while the unruly 6.2-litre AMG V8 expected soon. But here at the Vancouver International Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz Canada is showing off another version that can be had north of the border: the 2.5-litre V6 C230 (note that the nomenclature doesn't always reflect displacement).
