You can see the use of the new lighting system...similar to the facelift E Class....new trunk looks similar to S Class styling.....definitely a longer nose

They've also hinted at a C Class Convertible....i don't even believe the C63 speculation anymore...seems they're all guessing....


Further down the track a high-performance AMG model will be launched, complete with a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine developing around 450 horsepower and possibly matched to an all-wheel-drive system. It's not clear if the new C63 AMG will feature the 5.5-liter mill currently offered by AMG or a new 4.0-liter unit said to be in the works.

While the 450-horsepower estimate may not have grown much compared to the current C63 AMG, performance should be improved thanks to a lighter overall structure. Like the 2013 SL Class, the new C Class will almost certainly benefit from plenty of aluminum--and some composite--structures in its construction. A more powerful S-Model, like that seen on the new 2014 E63 AMG, is likely also.

Finally, wagon and coupe models will return and will be joined for the first time by a new C Class Convertible.

from the front look similar like Bmw F10/F30 .
the rear is something similar to CLS and S class.
kind of rounder.

I have never liked the S class rear end.. its ugly.. Also.. not a fan of the new front end right now.. but would need to see more sans cladding.

As for Engine, Options, and Design, well everything trickles down from the higher end models into the lower end ones eventually, so its not a stretch to thing the 5.5tt motor will end up in the C, or the new motor they mention. We will wait and see.

450hp? I'm pretty sure the AMG division can come up with a better number from a V8 especially with a twin-turbo.

These marketing people need to wake up and smell what the M division is cooking.

In one of those images I see a current C63 with BS front guards & rear door etc?
Cheers, Pickles.

will wait to see full images sans the camo before i make a decision if i like the look or not.
hopefully it looks masculine still

I'm getting worried about the direction of MB... first the E63 debacle, then the CLA... PLEASE don't ruin the C63 too!!!!!

Merc63

The C63 is screwed. Im holding onto mine that's for sure!

The only new car in the line up which is nice is the SL63.. I don't think the C63 is going to be any better than the previous model.

All that side cladding is likely hiding some goofy swooping lines like the CLA. God I hope they don't make the new C ugly.

Rear looks disproportionate to the long front. Rear tails even with the cladding look kinda silly.

I am sure the car will be huge improvement regardless, let's just hope it looks more like a big A class sedan instead of the CLA.
