my F30 next to the new MB C-Class

fscuderia23 · 03-17-2014, 03:20 AM

Went to the local golf course (Los Verdes) to hit a few golf balls, and came across the brand new C-Class with manufacturer plates from Alabama. Preproduction car I guess. This is a C400 4-matic with airmatic suspension next to my F30 335i. Interior of the new C-Class looks pretty sweet, and I would say the whole thing really looks like a shrunken S-Class in real life.

Nice find. Not a fan of the new C Class, it gives off an older image, maybe it's the Luxury package. The F30 looks so much sportier parked next to it.

seamasters · 03-17-2014, 04:19 AM

c-class looks absolutely disgusting.

Who? · 03-17-2014, 06:23 AM

as much i hate to say it, the c makes the 3 look outdated..

Bahn360Photo · 03-17-2014, 06:45 AM

not a fan of C class at all

bakes · 03-17-2014, 06:47 AM

def. looks like a seniors car LOL

plus your ride looks 1000x better, and younger too

BMWFanatic2008 · 03-17-2014, 08:23 AM

Doesn't look right. I see some similarities with Hyundai/Kia. CLA look much better IMO.

carzaddict · 03-17-2014, 08:27 AM

definitely looks like a shrunken S Class.

i think the back of the car looks great (especially with the amg kit)

Presario · 03-17-2014, 08:37 AM

It reminds me of a girl with a flat misshaped ass. Ugh hate all the new C variants.

Love Los Verdes if you can stand the 6 hour rounds. Great little course!

I agree. The F30 looks better to me though as the MB C looks like it is made for senior citizens only.

Yuck

Poor MB... they were gettin' the design back on track a few years ago after their ugly frontlights design and now they're divin again...

Steven1077 · 03-17-2014, 10:51 AM

The MB looks awful

ejfp83 · 03-17-2014, 12:04 PM

F30 all the way !!

mtbnole · 03-17-2014, 12:34 PM

looks like a hyundai from about 10 years back.

keremorhan · 03-17-2014, 01:19 PM

ugly

Philipangoo · 03-17-2014, 01:19 PM

You can tell that's the lux trim since its got the grill, emblem, and chrome accents. I am sure the other trim lines will make the car look better, but awesome spotting and nice looking out. I would have passed it over for one of the new E classes upon a quick glance.

M3AWD · 03-17-2014, 02:44 PM

I also think it's ugly, but try posting the same pics at an MB forum and you'll get the other side of the story!

I would never cross-shop this car against the F30... It might be in the same class for some, but to me it's day & night difference in looks & character.

auf Deutsch · 03-17-2014, 08:28 PM

Bentley taillights ripoff. Pardon me, have you any Grey Pupón?

F87_LCI · 03-17-2014, 08:36 PM

So glad I grabbed up my new F30 and didn't stick with Merc. I would pick my 2010 C350 over the new C400. Gramps...you can have your car back.

carzaddict · 03-18-2014, 08:29 AM

the interior of the C is really nice.........EXCEPT for the floating navigation screen. it pisses me off how they're making it a MB design cue.
