Spied: Plug-in C-Class Coming to a Socket Near You



The automotive industry is moving toward electrification like Walmart shoppers moving through the doors at 5 a.m. on Black Friday. Thanks to tightening EPA regulations, there's a lot of pressure to get more plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles on the roads, but only so much can be done given the constraints of the time-space continuum. The W205 C-Class is not immune to this impending wave of electrification, as demonstrated by these spy shots of C-Class sedan and wagon plug-in prototypes.

More on the blog.

Nice to know that I will be spending at least some of my time waiting alongside Steve Wozniak.

lol, yes its pretty hard to tell the difference when you cant figure out the size of the vehicle form pics.
Mercedes is definitely moving in the direction of Auidi and BMW by offering a Small, Medium, and Large version of the same Sedan.
Apart from the size and the taillights the S and C are almost indistinguishable.
Its Lazy and disgusting IMO
The C has two rings in the Taillights and the S has 3. That's the only way I can tell the difference.

you can also tell from the integrated spoiler, trunk lid. The c class is more of a "pinch" around the MB star, while the S class is much more flat.
