2002 C32 AMG
Next generation C-Class?

If these pictures are real, it could be one beautiful car. Also note that the pictures claim 2004-2005 model year. I thought the C-Class was not getting a major re-design until 2006? Maybe they moved up the schedule to compete with the new 3-Series.

Personally, I'm not ready for that yet.
I'd keep mine until I get used to the looks of that.

But certainly much better than ANY of BMW's latest trys at car shaping.

I highly doubt it.

BECAUSE the S-class should come out first before the C class.

it goes: S class, C class then E class, every 2 years
it has been a cycle for the past I don't know how many years.

and for BMW, it's
7-series, 5-series, 3-series every 2 years.

This is still better than the BMW

Wow, new C class already!

I didn't even get my seat warmed yet on my 2003 C32. I think the design will be corrected greatly before it is sent out for production. Yet, I will accept this by far than the new BMW 3 or 5 series.

Thumbs down Mercedes-Benz CTS Class?

Yuck! The front looks like the Caddy CTS.

IMHO, There are some designs that grow on me, and others that don't.

C-Coupe - Grows on me
Subaru WRX - Grows on me
Caddy CTS - Doesn't
96-Present Ford Taurus 'Bubble Mobile' redesign - never will
