The source say that the next C class and derivative will arrive around 2014-2015.The design of the new car will have more sporty and dynamic than current car, free flowing sharp edges designs is expect.

Thumbs down

Eh the tails remind me of an Audi S5, and the front looks more like a Genesis won't be hard to rip off. Not my favorite.

I must be in the minority then, because I really like the Auto Motor und Sport rendering of the W205 based on the new CLS. Very modern, and some continuity from the current C Class AND the next generation design of the CLS and A Class.

looks a little too curvy for me. i want the W204 body right now because it's properly balanced with curves and edges giving it a more masculine stance.

The taillights and headlights look nice but it kind of reminded me of Mazda 3. Did it copy from Mazda 3?? I hope that Mercedes designers can be more original, just like how they come up with the double oval headlights that make the front really stand out.

By the way, anyone know whether they will continue with the current "sports" and "luxury" styling options, or it will all be "sports" styling (with a big tri-star on the grille and no more classic tri-star look)... Any thoughts on this?

Looking at the August 2011 post by Acapulco Bill, I'm betting that's it and all the others (posted long ago) are just speculation.

Remember there is also a 1 Series Fighter coming - CLC possibly that is based on the A/B Class. The sedan looks a lot like the renderings I saw for the CLC.

Hmm, not really digging the pinched tail on those. It was great on the CLS when it came out, and then the CC came out and everyone and their brother who wanted a CLS but couldn't/wouldn't swing the price for one bought it - so now it is everywhere.

My fear is that it will become the new equivalent of the "Bangle Butt" phase that BMW went through.
