First word that comes to mind is quality. Interior looks way ahead of the others in the segment.

Now just put some fenders flares on and put in a TTV8.

Thats coming!

LOVE!! It looks so much better than anything in its class. Everything inside looks elegant and upscale. The next gen Cxx AMG has me thinking now...

Boben5 · 01-13-2014, 01:12 PM

lol, that Ipad thing is hideous.

So the C-class will now be built in the States. Will the C63 AMG be built at the same plant in the States or will they build it in Germany?

Good question.

The final assembly point for the C63 will likely be Germany.

The 4.0L biturbo V8 being introduced with the new C63 was designed from the ground up by AMG and all of the motors will be crafted by hand in Germany.

AlpineSwift · 01-14-2014, 12:46 AM

Tail lights still look hideous to me. Rest of it looks pretty good. Not as angular is the previous model.

ybbiz34 · 01-14-2014, 12:51 AM

If you can stomach this guy, there's a pretty good look at the interior at 2:14 in.

rayg · 01-14-2014, 01:23 AM

Great looking car inside and out, lightyears better than the cls.

Thanks, that makes sense

Design wise, this new C-Class is starting to grow on me faster than I thought and already sold on the 4.0L V8 biturbo. Most def something I'll be monitoring closely.

Don't sleep on their new 3 liter TT6 replacing the current NA 3.5L, as we all know MB underrates their engine output as well and its already rated higher than the N55 on paper..332hp/354tq, combined with the cars overall lighter weight....decisions, decisions

Chill72 · 01-14-2014, 11:29 AM

Hmmm I must say that I'm not diggin' this at all.

NO thanks.

blschaefer1 · 01-14-2014, 12:44 PM

Love it with the exception of the iPad sticking out of the dash.

ep_83 · 01-14-2014, 01:03 PM

With the CLA starting at right under 30, I wonder what the starting price will be on this.

+1

This oozes quality in every way..

mookie45 · 01-17-2014, 04:59 PM

The C class is a great looking car. MB does a great job on design with quality! That AMG is going to be beast!

Soorena · 01-18-2014, 09:49 AM

It seems this is the MB designers' source of inspiration:

I don't get the melting design language. The new S-Class looks good and classy, but the rest of the cars look horrid. Not classy at all, it's kind of stuff you expect from Hyundai. The current C-Class IMO looks far better and more Benz-ish.

BMW's new iDrive display really isn't any different.

Has to be around the $64,000 - $66,000 range. Anything else and it's priced outside it's competition.

Why did they tape a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the dashboard of an otherwise beautiful looking interior?
