Default 2008 Merc C-Class

Just a few days ago I was talking about how nice it would be if AMG put the new 6.3 into the c-class. Looks like I might get my wish.

Too bad it looks a lot like a honda. Here's the link:

It's look pretty normal to me......resembles the E-Class, but the rims kinda sux (but it's computer generated anyways, so don't freak out so soon guys )

boring design... new headlights dont look too bad, but the rest of the body resembles a honda accord like caloradosilver has mentioned... a 6.3L V8 in this thing should be a nice burnout machine..

Holy Batman, we can judge a car based entirely on one pre-production pricture featured from one single angle!



Looks pretty normal to me. I think the hood must be that shape to cater for the new pedestrian safety laws. Makes it very smooth and so on. It seems like Mercedes is beginning to go for that new headlight look. The CLS started it off a little, then the A and B class, as well as the SLK gave that single lens effect that stretches way back.

I hope they won't keep that look for all of their range in the next few years time, the dual circular headlight look is a bit of a classic and I know some people really like it like that.

The front grill is very CLS like, wide and all that. The bottom portion looks weird. I'm not all too convinced with the way MB is making that second piece around the foglights in most of their new cars. Just unecessary detail IMO. Too bad there's no interior shot.

Wow... Mercedes is ripping Honda's designs from the late 1990's? The Germans have seriously lost it then... to the American shareholders!
