Front lip is weird.
And that screen looks like an afterthought. Like they designed the whole interior and then went "OH SHIT, we forgot the navigation..."
And I get that it gives you way more room down the middle but I hate using a wiper stalk to shift gears.

^ nothing is a after thought with Mercedes Benz....
If I'm honest....Merc, Audi, BMW and Porsche don't give a fuck if people like the design and tech or not, They will do well in sales regardless..

Its just stuck on there. Audi does it right with that shit popping out of the dash like a TV from the future.

^ i know what you mean, but i feel like if you sit in the drivers seat and get comfortable with the car it will appear much more convenient and well placed.

I have a feeling that in a couple years a w205 refresh will get rid of the floating screen, like all car makers do.

2015 CLS has been revealed... Mercedes-Benz reveals refreshed 2015 CLS four-door coupe | Driving 
Looks almost like a larger CLA to me but I am biased.
And yup, another one goes to the ipad look, flame away =P 
I hope that isn't a thick black bezel. Like WolfGang says, it looks horrible but when you're driving... it's placed quite well.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I think it looks disastrously bad. The front end looks especially terrible with a bunch of random lines that don't have much cohesiveness with the rest of the vehicle. It doesn't look elegant, doesn't look particularly sporty, it just doesn't exude the class that Mercedes vehicles usually present.
But then again, the styling direction that Mercedes has taken with its past few redesigns has been...questionable...

I would of got the A45 if it were available here.
It's not emissions or safety, the CLA is the same damn car with a trunk bolted on the back. MB just thinks no one will buy the hatchback in North America.

It's more like they're balking at the cost of standards testing and other modifications needed to make it compliant for Canadian/NA standards.
If they thought they could sell more than a few thousand cars and make lots of money, the A Class would already be in showrooms now.
They have a point though on some stuff like intelligent highlights. We only have low and high beams, nothing in between where as they already have a fluid intelligent headlight system where it auto adapts from low to high depending on where other cars are on the road.
Giving you maximum lighting without blinding other drivers, imagine that! Nope, not for North America!

Very nicely done. Front end looks just like the E Class and the rear very much like the new S Class. The C400 has the option for airmatic in which can be lowered in 2 height settings and can be raised with a touch of a button. Perfect if you want to lower your car.

Starting to grow on me. I'd like to see the car a bit lowered with a different lip or something. Just looks awkward in some angles like previously mentioned. The rear is sexy!!
Tried to build one to the tits, got up to $65k!!
