FYI en enjoyment:

It's ok. Although I'm a little relieved. Not as bad as I thought, but I'm not in love with it either. Thanks for the pic.

I love every angle except the rear view but its starting to grow on me. I really like the front view. It looks like a cross between the CLS and the S class..

i dont think the 63 is coming out this year. did you read about it somewhere?

looks kinda likes the suburu legacy....from the rear... that's kinda what i think but it may be different in person..so ooh well..

Theres going to millions of those on the road with a C230 emblem on the back. It will be hard to tell the difference between the C63 and C230SS.

Wow, the front is decent, but that rear looks like a Benz with Downs Syndrome.

Looks bigger........

-j0hn

No more C230. The base model will be a C300 and C350.

It's interesting that they made the hood a solid wrap-over (no seams on the hood) but of course that makes seams on the fenders. To me, I'd rather have clean fenders than seamless hood.

Overall, it seems fine. Not inspired in any way. But then that's how Mercedes styles their cars for the most part.

hahaha....Subaru Legacy rear end.

other stuff looks good tho.

ooh i like those rims

meh. reminds me of a cadillac cts or sts

I agree Legacy or a TL

omg.. what are you guys smoking? I am not 100% sold on the rear.. but the amg package shown here doesn't look anything like a Acura or a Subaru.. I just went and double checked pictures of both of those cars and they aren't even close to being similar..

I don't think anyone will be confused!! Would be cool if they flared the fenders a bit more for a wide body on the AMG though..

Gee, looks like a blend of Audio/Suburu/Acura and who knows what else, with some Mercedes thrown into the mix. Front looks much more blunt from the side view than the current C55. I'll have to reserve final judgement until I see one in person, but if it doesn't look any better in person I'll consider something else instead of the C63. Maybe I'll just hang on to my 55 and do some "upgrades"...

The new C-Class doesn't look that bad so far. I like the eyelids. Hopefully, the actual AMG version will be more unique and not share the exact same lines as the regular C-Class with AMG kit.

Shouldn't the C AMG front bumper include side vents like ones seen on the CL AMG and CLK AMG?

to me it looks like a baby CL (the new one)

Compare these pics with the 3rd pic in this link https://mbworld.org/forums/cl55-amg-cl65-amg-cl63-amg-c215-c216/177393-cl63-07-detroit-auto-show.html

mom and baby separated at birth.

i've compared the side view of this and cl and they have very similar lines. somehow i don't see any similarities w/ the S

I like it...however, I think I like current C better (especially the 55 with the CLK front!).

Wonder what kinda tech they are going to limit this to?

No Thanks! It completely lost it's MB distinctiveness.

dont like it

the rear looks like **** and the wheels are horrible (MODS: we need thumbs down smiley)

it is nearly as bad as the new CL

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-class cozies up to the range-topping S-class with its styling and much of its equipment. New features will include Keyless Go; a panorama roof; seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions; DVD-based navigation; Bluetooth; an iPod dock; voice controls; and swiveling headlamps.

Of the nine different C-class models, U.S. buyers are likely to see the C230 (2.5-liter V-6, 201 hp, 181 lb-ft), the C280 (3.0-liter V-6, 228 hp, 221 lb-ft), the C350 (3.5-liter V-6, 268 hp, 258 lb-ft), and, of course, the C63 AMG (6.2-liter V-8, 450 hp, 440 lb-ft). All U.S.-bound cars should get Mercedes' seven-speed automatic. A new 4Matic all-wheel-drive system features a 45/55 rear-biased torque split for improved handling.

The sedan grows in length (2.2 in), width (1.7 in), and wheelbase (1.8 in) and will offer more trunk space, but, commendably, it doesn't gain any weight. Insiders claim that quality is greatly improved, particularly that of the plastics, the instruments, and the secondary controls. In some areas, the C-class is said to be superior to the S-class. We'll judge for ourselves after the C-class makes its debuts--the sedan at the Geneva auto show in March and the wagon in the fall at Frankfurt.
