NEXT C CLASS!!!!!
Hey guys,
Am in Nice, France visiting my grandparents and family and came across the new auto journal...
Thankfully, we actually get relevant automotive news and the front page is the next C-Class..
Took the liberty of taking some pictures and am uploading from Europe..
Let us know your thoughts - I know I'm excited, so I'm sure you will be too!
Cheers!

They're really using that F8000 base a lot now aren't they.....I like the W204 but hopefully changes to this concept will sway me to the future W205.

Great find!
Definitely not good looking. If this is the next C-Class then i'm switching to the AMG B-Class when it comes out. I think out current cars definitely look better.
This looks too much like the F800 Style concept, and that design looks odd in so many different ways that I won't even begin to go into it.

I was eyeballing the front end of a E350 coupe the other day comparing it to my C300 and came to the same conclusion as the "Next C Class" and that is that it is different but not necessarily better. I think MB may have made their first year version better looking than the one's that followed rather than the other way around which is normal.

Haha it looks like a Peugeot! Definitely happy with the current W204 if that's the direction they're moving in. It's not even that hard to improve a new C class.. make the front more SL'ish, and come up with a better back end somehow. Use higher quality materials for the interior and provide new engine options - class leader. Wasn't that hard was it!

You know these pictures are artists conceptions and usually accentuated to bring out the design, if this is the new C Class the actual car will look more conservative and if thats the case they could be very good looking. Although making the C Class more like the older S platform wouldn`t be groundbreaking, it would just slip into the MB family.

The convertible has backseats and the body aspects suggest that it's more likely to be a C Class. I'm thinking MB is going to be pushing the C coupe harder than any others: Trying to be the Civic coupe in the entry-level luxury coupe department which somewhat answers to the market needs.

Hmmm looks very futuristic.... I hope the final version only has slight changes to the current C Class

Very pretty - organic styling language! Big Improvement on the present 204.
But I prefer our 203s styling to our 204. The 204 nose is OK but only OK. The tail has always been a disaster.

Direction the new design language is taking:

Who knows? any guesses - another take on the C - We are in for some very pretty cars in the future
