Thanks for helping me get it off the ground so quickly.

Very much back to being a baby S class again in some ways.

Glyn M Ruck

+1^ Definitely a mini S Class with lovely organic European lines.

djejglk

It looks like a yacht with that light brown wood interior. omg. I realize that floating screen is a bit unsightly, but damn, everything is very symmetrical, which with my ocd, i LOVE

djejglk

So...when we set the clock, does the analog clock in the center console "roll" to the correct time? It would be cool to see the minute hand move 'quickly' to the correct time! How does that work???

Rudeney

I am sure ti does that - just like the analog clock in the CLK does when you change for daylight savings time on the COMAND.

Oh, and the W205 gets built here (in the Alabama factory), and now some things are making sense as they announced a few weeks back that they would add yet another model to the line (I'll be it will be the new CLK).

djejglk

nice... i'm not familiar with the clk, but this car looks awesome. they're FINALLY are changing the seats. most people spread their legs a little bit when they sit. all the previous versions, and even with the glk, which shares the platform, has similar seats as the current version. the new seats looks like they have a more generous 'spread' in the thigh region. if you look at any other manufacturer, you see the spread in the seat for the legs/thighs region. the current c class seat has a 'straight' edge on the seat bottom, and this new iteration has a seat that looks very comfortable.

ildd

Am I the only one who thinks the grille is ridiculously big?
And rather ugly :/


But, this is most definitely a baby S-Class once again, unlike the w204.

Glyn M Ruck

I thought that until I saw the new S Class in the flesh & drove the S500 & the S400 Hybrid. It actually works very well.

iyeoh

American made?!? No offense....

Engine made by Nissan??!! Front wheel drive??!!

The Japanese automaker has released more details on the upcoming four-cylinder engine, which will begin production in 2014 at its assembly plant in Decherd, Tennessee. The Mercedes-Benz four-cylinder will initially be used in C-Class cars assembled at Daimler’s plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. No details on the engine were provided, though the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C250 – which recently made its debut in the States – is powered by a 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder with 201 hp and 229 lb-ft of torque.

That LCD screen is hideous. Like a moving iPad.

What is next? A WRX Subaru wing??

What has happenned to my beloved favorite automobile company??!!!

mis3

Agreed. The LCD screen likes too "add-on". Other than that, the car looks great.

What's up with the 2 big holes on the front spoiler, below the headlights? Are they functional? I see this in all new MB sedans (S class, E class and now C class).

Glyn M Ruck

C Class is not FWD. Only A & B classes are front wheel drive as they have been since inception for the sake of efficiency.

Nissan builds engines very well. There is no reason why they should not build a Benz designed engine just as well as the Bad Cannstadt plant.

nyca

At least in the US, I have a feeling that the 4 cylinder will undersell their projection - the 6 is going to be more popular than they think.

MBNUT1

Hope the price is right.

Khan28

I echo those sentiments. I had a 2000 Maxima prior to buying my C280 and the VQ30 V6 motor was without a doubt one of the best V6 motors in existence. Bulletproof reliable, silky smooth and emitted a lovely sound. The newer VQ35HR motors were known for oil consumption and were rather raspy but the VQ30 was top notch.

mis3

Being a coupe lover, I wonder if MB would update the C Coupe as well. The C Coupe is only 2 years old. On the other hand, will MB keep 2 platforms for the C Class?

Glyn M Ruck

The C Coupe will be updated & the CLK will return. Dates not clear.

mis3

I thought the new C Coupe will be renamed CLK. ???
2 different cars?

cookstar

The fully loaded CLA45 is $66,000 in Canada excluding taxes, the 2014 C63 507 Edition fully loaded is $75,000.... the new C63 or what ever its going to be called will be AWD and around the same price as todays C63 so possibly a max 10k price difference between the 2014 CLA and New C-class, what do you guys think is the better choice?

Glyn M Ruck

Sorry I meant to say that C Coupe would be updated & the CLK monker will return.

One car as I understand it for now.

One thing that is not clear is that CLK has always been a pillarless design. C Coupe not. I hope CLK remains pillarless.
