Toyota Camry TRD FWD vs Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 Cabriolet

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 Cabriolet is a charming and relatively affordable convertible variant of the C-Class compact luxury car lineup, which also includes coupe and sedan body styles. The C 300 Cabriolet was introduced for the 2017 model year and its first generation wrapped up in 2021. The new generation of C-Class, which rolled out in 2022, still features a C 300 trim level. With a shrinking number of convertible models on the market, a clean used C 300 is a compelling option for buyers who really want an open-air experience.

Yes, there’s a cool Camry. The Toyota Camry TRD livens up the brand’s bread-and-butter sedan with larger wheels, better tires, a cat-back dual exhaust, suspension upgrades, and beefier brakes. The TRD also provides a much bolder exterior appearance, with spoilers and red brake calipers, along with a much sportier interior than you’d think possible in a Camry. The TRD launched in the 2020 model year and carries through the current model year. It’s one of three V6-powered Camry trim levels, which all share the 301-hp 3.5-liter V6, eight-speed Direct-Shift automatic transmission, and front wheel drive (FWD).
