Do you think that a Mercedes Benz C230 K Sports Coupe is a luxury vehicle?

[Jonathan B]

I own a 2007 Jeep Patriot and a 2005 Mercedes Benz Sports Coupe with the Kompressor supercharger. The coupe is silver with leather interior, panoramic roof with sliding sunroof, CD, dual climate, heated seats, 6-speed manual transmission.

It is in really great shape and has only about 50,000 kms (about 30,000 miles) on it.

I have received a wide variety of feedback from relative strangers when seeing it: from "wow, nice car" to "ugh, why did mercedes ever stoop so low."

Is this vehicle considered luxury? Would you rate it in the top, say 10% of vehicles on the road in North America?

Thanks,
Jonathan
Ok - I may need to rephrase - do you think it is a "high-end" vehicle? Does it rank with the likes of the Porsche Boxster or the Audi TT, for example?

It is a sport coupe, not a luxury edition.

I don't consider it a luxury vehicle at all. It's the poor mans Mercedes. Mercedes as a company is a luxury brand, but that car definitely isn't.
