The A6 is much larger than the 9-3. It's 500 pounds heavier, yet has only 15 more hp and less torque. It's also way more expensive (even without the incentives on the SE), unless you get a stripped model. And then, it's not a direct comparison (you get more for the money with the 9-3). These aren't comparable cars. I also don't see why people say that Audis are superior. In what way? About the only thing I can see is some better materials in the interior, but you pay for these.
Mercedes C coupe aren't bad, but they are expensive and anemic. The cheap model has little power or torque.
What the 9-3 provides is a package: power, utility, looks, snow handling, and sportiness. Unless you buy a more powerful model, both the Audi and the Merc lack sportiness and utility.
