Side by side comparison: E90 vs new C-class

If this has already been posted I appologize ahead of time. Didn't see it on the regular 203 forum. Anyway, more proof I do NOT like the new C class body style! Next ride will def. be a CLS....

Wow I suddenly feel that W204 is actually not as bad as I thought. The rear looks so much better than E90's. And although I still think W204 interior is ugly, it has more opportunities to improve by introducing carbon fiber overlay for example. E90 interior is hopeless and plain boring. W204 front grille is big, but it might be something that we just haven't got used to it yet.
Between the two, I'd pick W204 for sure. CLS? now that's a different story My .02

The new W204 body doesn't look that bad


The rear end looks better than the E90


The front grill is kind of big though. It looks a bit unproportional


The interior is awful. The steering wheel is boring and the pop up nav doesn't look clean


Since the AMG version of the CL looks 10x better than the regular CL, I'm hoping the same will hold true for the C63 AMG.

I am thinking of getting on a waiting list for the C63.. I like it and I'm sure the AMG version will be even better.. Think of the possibilities with a 6.2 liter engine!

That engine is the only thing appealing to me. I would like to see what the AMG version will look like. I hate the look of the new C class now, but in a year or two I will probably love it.lol

From what I've seen, AMG version will have quad exhausts and side vents. I didn't see rear deck spoiler, although that could be easily added later on. I'm hoping it'll get mesh rear apron in between exhaust tips similar to SL65. A few people noticed a bulge on the hood shown on the last pic.

Is it just me, or does the interior of the current C-class look much better than what we have been seeing for the upcoming W204??? I am really not too impressed with what I have been seeing so far. Hopefully the overall appearance of the C63 will live up to it's performance capabilities...

Definatly. the new interior is a huge black slab of cheap looking plastic. i wonder if the designers of the w204 drive hondas to work everyday???

lol, read what the bimmer's have to say about the new 204's interior!

Yeah, the MB interior kicks BMW's ***.
Seems like anything is an improvement over the E90's interior!
