I saw this car lapping the NS yesterday morning.. sadly the poor light didn't allow me to take any good pics of it :bah:

Any idea?

Maybe Wutputt got a better shot

I think someone mentioned that this was the 2007 C-Class in the other thread

The front grill looks idd like a Merc, but this could also be camouflage.

I just think it is damn cool to be there and catch short glimpses of future cars.. you just sit there and they will come at you constantly :D

WOW that's a crazy scoop!!! How did theymanage to get that pic even when the car is heavily camoed? This new generation of industrial spy really scares me.

^ those pictures were released by autobild/huckfeldt long time ago, like last year. probably made from new styling directions and guesses, i think, rather than having spies in MB. I'd rather have the car as it is, with "carapaces" covering it. bad for aerodynamics, but looks intimidating, unlike the c-class, which probably can't.

Grill, seats, mirrors and exhaust pipe - all this looks like Mercedes. And also back has the same style as the new S-Class. But the camouflage on headlights was definately designed by Bangle :D

Yea, im gonna go with Merc. It seems to have the same headlights and grille. Also, look at the contour of the roofline, im gonna agree that it is the new C class.

I think ill go with the crowd on this one. The grille, seats and lights point to the new merc design direction. Although i just wonder if its a bit big for a C-class, maybe an E?

its the c class .... imo :roll:
damn that masking :D

Is it just me, or does the bootlid look like a wrap around lid like the 5-series?

From the front grill I guess this is Merc, but don't know is it the new C class..?
