I feel bad for that C Class. It lost it's class...

I'm all for giving the rear wheels a little more flair but that is just over the top for me.

I guess there's two schools of thought....one views the 204 as a luxury car first with some sportiness, and the other views it as a sportier look with luxury accents.

Personally, I love the new w204 DTM and how it looks, so I guess I fall in the second category. Neither is right or wrong, but both can appreciate a fine work of art, even if it elicits different emotions.

Looks like it's trying too hard to be DTM... but not really there.

Interesting paint job though. Looks matte to me.

I'm not a kid so I like the "sedate" look of a sedan, That does not mean I don't like to soup up the car. But just the car, not the looks: say having a couple of turbos tucked to the 272 reinforced engine, plus good admission and exhaust, and suspension adequate to the 500 ponies under the hood.

I like to see prepped cars for the track, or to impress mates and the opposite sex, but hate to see what Marketing do to young anxiety for things that neither are attractive, nor worthy. Nevertheless, all is well if for fun or love.

Cheers, JV
