cooper s is 170bhp supercharged 1.6 and only just slower than a healthy 2.0 16v corsa.

merc c class has a decent auto box, but has a slow kick down. 
the 230 kompressor is already supercharged, but as said, weighs a lot. 
 
clk is the smaller version of the CL.  it is a coupé. 
 
they're not blistering fast, but are quite nice cruisers.

i like merc diesels, and anything above V8   
 
the diesels have a stupid amount of neck breaking torque. 
the V8's upwards... wel, they're self explanatory.
