I moved this to where it belongs.

Anyways, that does look very nice. The CTS now has some competition, it would appear. I think both look very good on the outside, though the CTS' interior is much more stylish.

[Cory Wolfe]

Anywho, it looks better than I expected.

[Flybrian]

Its the current one with a bodykit, or that's how it appears. Nice Envoy steering wheel. I'm sure quasi-professional females who like to think they're somebody will love this.

[FAPTurbo]

Looks like any other Mercedes...

Big deal...

[ToniCipriani]

Eh... Northie... shouldn't this be under DaimlerChrysler instead?

That steering looks nasty. I wonder if O.C. will complain that the dash isn't one piece with the console, since the C-Class doesn't offer bench seating with steering shifters... And the panel is still a mass of buttons, just like any European dash.

Exterior looks OK, I guess. I don't understand what the guys on that forum were talking about no more hood star. There's a stand up ornament right there in the one with the regular non-sport grille.

[Variance]

I'll take a G35, please.

[Intrepidation]

I prefer the sport model with the emblem in the grill...the normal grill is too much. I like it...but I like teh CTS better, and the CTS will probably more sporty...and the CTS looks far better inside (when could you last say that about a Caddy?).

[CSpec]

It looks like the new Caprice. I like the exterior, but the interior looks boring. I'm sure it's much smaller than the CTS thouhg, so we'll see how much they compete head-to-head.

[bobo]

Looks ok. Very much in the idiom of the newest MB models. At least they didn't botch it.

[DetroitNut90]

These aren't the best photos, but it appears that the Sport model will be the best-looking variant. I think I'll stay with the 3-Series, CTS, or A4...Mercedes' recent designs leave something to be desired, IMO. I wonder how the AMG version will look.

Edit: I just noticed how the seats look almost the same as the ones in my mom's Venture, only with firmer side bolsters.

It's odd to see the sport type grille on a regular 4dr.. that's one of things I don't like about the CLS grille--it just looks odd without the hood ornament (all Benzes should have the stand up hood ornament, IMHO).

[BlkHhr104]

Well with this redesign they are now only 4 years in design behind competition :AH-HA_wink: , can't realy say that I'm in love sorry, BMW, Infiniti, Caddy, or Audi please .

[sciguy_0504]

The photos do not work for me.

[Guest YellowJacket894]

CTS, please, in black with a manual.

[BrewSwillis]

I too love red X's.

Can someone post the pics if they saved them?

[BrewSwillis]

Pics are updated on that thread.

I'm not that much of a Mercedes fan, but damn......that thing looks nice for a C-Class!

[Z-06]

Nice exterior. But the interior is disappointment. It kinda looks cheap, may be because of the image quality. 4 spoke steering wheel for a 3-series competitor, puhleeze!!. Also powertrains are disappointing. When Infiniti, Lexus, BMW and now Caddy are gunning past the 300-hp barrier for the top of the line engines, MB retains its "anemic" 272 hp 3.5l and same about the other engines. I do not think MB, who wanted the entry-level luxury crown will get it anytime soon. I will give it 6.5/10 as my initial impression.

[Drew Dowdell]

Honey, I shrunk the M-Class!

[Intrepidation]

Honey, I shrunk the S-Class!

Fixed

[bcs296]

Looks ok. I still like the current C-class.

I like the interior of the new CTS better too.
