I remember a while back a member wanted to buy a 2012 or 2013 C-class, some people said the new C-class is coming soon, well here it is. Exterior looks like a smaller version of the S-class.
My AFC gave me an ABS CEL code of LOL while at WOT!

Looks ok. I mean if I saw it on the road, I'm sure it would be beautiful. But I must say the current generation C class is one of the best looking cars Mercedes has produced in a while. The wagon in Europe is ever better.
I like the sharper lines; all the new Mercs are getting rounder and softer. Loses its status IMO.
And I agree, what's up with the stupid floating tablet?

In the pictures the car didn't look that great but in the video it looks pretty nice. It does have more presence than the outgoing C class. Can't wait to see the AMG version.
Oh, nice. A steering column-mounted shifter. Drivers upgrading from their truck and station wagons will feel right at home.
Seriously, what's the point of putting the shifter on the steering column? It's not like they freed up space in the center console for lots of cool stuff. All they did was put what appears to be a garbage can lid and an over-sized navigation control in it's place.
I am totally biased. I hate steering-column mounted shifters. They look like garbage.

its called the comand screen. germany thought it look good as a faux tablet. its no different than any lcd screen in any car.
Most cars were single or double din so it was easy to replace when it stopped working. this follows no standard and will be a major pain in the you no what to replace.

i agree, personally i think the C class should remain the "rebellious teen" of the mb range and be all angular and aggresive instead of being a "baby s class."
i get that rounding out the car and making it more aerodynamic helps fuel economy but they starting to look like beans lol :/ hopefully the amg models bring back the angular bat-shit crazy sexyness
Mr.Stubbz got it!
If I wants an S I would buy an S.
The former gen of C class was aggressive and fun, this one has lost all the edge that made it appealing.
Seems like they are trying to get out of the market of fun to drive, sporty, aggressive cars which means the new BMW M3 and M4 will probably do really well in the absence of a fun aggressive Mercedes.

Most people don't replace these things in a MB anyways, especially since it's basically the command center.
Well if you are buying a C class because you cant afford an S class then perhaps priorities are not in the right place.
The way I see it is this C class is like a knock off of an S class and it just makes it a less desirable car IMO. I've always been a fan of the C'class but this one not so much. Perhaps more so in person, but from what I see they just shrunk down an S and used cheaper bits.
I hope AMG can breath some more life into it...they have yet to disappoint.
^ i dunno, going along with my thoughts above, a hood ornament is quite posh and i think they work best with the higher end models like e class and s class
shit, totally off topic but could you imagine if every car company offered hood ornaments for their cars lol
