C350 vs IS 350

Get a chance to try both Mercedes Benz C350 and Lexus IS 350.

Both are 3.5 liter engine, so I just use this as a comparison.

Engine:
Definitely Lexus. IS 350 engine is much stronger, pull harder and rev higher compare to C350. Lexus engine with both direct injection and port injection.

Weight distribution:
Pretty much the same.

Luxury:
Lexus.

Ride:
Mercedes. A whole new ball game. The ride is firm yet not too harsh.

Brake:
Lexus. Benz is too touchy. But power Benz stop much shorter.

Look:
Benz. It looks more aggressive.

Overall:
Benz. Why? Ride is so good everything else is not important. Plus good look is bonus.
