Def taking a lot of cues from next gen S-class in keeping with tradition. I think it may be a bit too soft though.

Looks like a CLA45 AMG.

I was going to say the same thing...

At least it has some space between the front wheels and the doors, unlike the fwd layout of the CLA. Could be good, but it sure does look soft in these pics. I assume it's moving up in size since the CLA is about the same size as the current C?

Front end looked decent from spypics but I'm not sure about the drooping line and rear lights. I appreciate the C has always been a mini version of the S but I think this looks a bit lazy compared to the sharp look of the F30. Overall though it looks good. Proportions are great.

The short rear deck really emphasizes the glasshouse and hood length, although that could naturally stem from the wheelbase which looks massive compared to the outgoing W204.

interesting..saw some shots today on mbworld..didnt like them.. that looks a little nicer..however, i really like the angular look of the current w204

I'm not feeling this design.

DASHOCKER · 08-30-2013, 05:20 AM

Agree. too soft for my own taste

This is going to look good. The AMG variant will look incredible.

NemesisX · 09-03-2013, 03:10 AM

Meh I find modern day C and E class Mercedes cars to be too bland.

wisesoul · 09-03-2013, 03:53 AM

Cue the hoodline criticims á la M4. Also, that rear window looks very awkward on the partially covered sliver car
