MB USA C Class Design How we got here

This was an interesting video showing a bit of the design process of how the C Class got its final look.

Great video. Love seeing the initial sketches and interior/exterior mock ups.

We all know that the vid is 50% BS.
The only design effort that was put into the W205 exterior was figuring out how to make the S class smaller.


The interior is unique though.

Love all those clay models. They almost gave it a widescreen nav setup in the prototype. Also they almost gave it a rear end that looks a lot like the S class coupe
