New 2007 C Class Pics

I don't know fellas this one looks kind of bangle to me. I hope it changes a little before the launch. It looks really fat and heavy, anyway I am sure mercedes will make a fine vehicle out of it.

The car has nice lines, but I wish they would have been more faithful to the current headlight design.

Horrible. I hope it's a fake or changing or something. It's looks too much like an R-Class to be fake though - fakers aren't that creative/subtle.

OMG they've lost it.... my son's Scion xB has better lines(all of 6). At least they took the least ugliest part of the R-class, as the rearend looks like a hearse....

I hope it looks exactly like that... that way our w203 remains the better looking car and I won't have an itch up my *** to buy the new body style.

From this angle though, it's kinda got a CLS thing going on, which I like (my fav MB). Be nice if it was just an inch or two bigger than the current w203. I also think these are renders/chops and we're not really getting a good look at it (headlight and grill area, not to mention the hood ornament is funky looking - rear wheel wells/wheels, apparent camber of front wheels, etc... - both shots are just...off...)

No *** shots? Im sure the car will look more or less like these photoshops. Most of the time these people are right on the money. I will have to see it in person to know if i love the New C or not. Until then,my C class is fine !

It will take some getting used too and will eventually grow on us just like most things new. However, that line/crease alonge the doors under the handles is truly unnessessary.

Anybody notice the information posted about the upcoming engines?

"AMG's 5.4-litre will be revised with new horsepower rating up from today's 360 to 400-410bhp to compete with the Audi RS4 and future BMW M3."

I wonder whether MB-AMG will truly keep the same naturally aspirated 5.4L 3 valve V8 in our C55's for the next generation C-AMG and retune it for higher HP. I always thought one possibility will be that AMG will retune the upcoming 5.5L 4 valve V8 which makes 382-388HP in the upcoming S-class.

the front has some uninspired R-class resemblence, see the bumper and fog lights?

the rear looks like a direct copy of the new GS........

OMG, DCX what were you thinking when you designed this?

A merging of the Acura, E90, and a Sweedish accent going on with the hood.

Number one , has Mercedes Benz made any ugly cars in recent years ? The answer is no.
Number two, car in the photo is not an AMG, you probably hate the rims also which makes the car less sporty.
Number three, based on how much we are satisfying with the W203 now, the w204 will be at least be 50% better overall in every aspect.
Number four, if the W204 looks the CLS, that is nothing wrong. By far, I have been hearing nfrom evryone I spoke to that CLS is indeed the most beautiful coupe/sport sedan in car history.
Number Five, I probably won't be able to afford one this time.

02 C32 Amg - Green Filters, Less Resonator, Also 2003 BMW E46 M3 19" CSL wheels some exterior mods.
Brilliant

This car looks brilliant. The lines if you look resemble those of the CLS - I believe this car will look astonishing to say the min. We all make the mistake of prejudging before every model comes out, once the model is released we all feel like fools. Example: CLS -absolute perfection I believe. Imagine the same concept you are looking at with AMG styling and the monster under the hood. then imagine the same car with 20's fitting proper. I am pleased with the concept, after all a concept is all it is until we see the finished product. I will certainly be waiting.

Carry on.

Every new model benz is less mercedes looking than one before anyways.

MB doesnt keep the lines loyal to its precedors. porsche does, jaguar does.
I can only recognise the griill and the 3 wing star on the new C-classes from the original 190. w202 was a modern w201 for its time..w203 completely different car...w204 is not a german anymore.

but its ok, i dont know if anyone enjoys watching soccer, see the german national team , how many of you will see any german in the team?

German style , american style or whatever, no one cares anymore...whatever sells good , they will make the products in that way. like in soccer, whoever plays good, he or she will play for the german team, of course initilised and naturalised.
