Thread: Mercedes Gets Its Mojo Back

    Default Mercedes Gets Its Mojo Back

    New C-Class just unveiled. I think this thing is a home run in the styling department. Call it "meh" if you want, but I imagine tons of people will be drawn to this smallest Mercedes due to the restrained, elegant design.



    Give that thing a clean, torquey, fuel-sippy diesel engine and you'll sell them by the boatload.

    Love the front and side, may take a while to warm up to the rear end. Overall, a HUGE improvement.

    I think they ruined the nose. This is much better -

    Looks like a BMW with funny lights.

    But I kinda like it for their low-end cars, I still like the S-class styling though, and I LOVE the new SLKs

    The front grille looks too Ford Edge or like one of the recent Cadilac offerings.
    I'm digging the interior, but over all I'd give it a "Meh".

    Lukewarm on the styling. The new nose is a bit bulky for my taste, but with the new front end collision survival mandates in Europe and here, I think we'll be seeing a lot of cars with ungainly front ends...

    Meh, terrible wheel choice for a Benz.

    I do like the other pics that were posted.

    Meh to the CTS. I prefer the CTS-V styling used on Andy Pilgrim's race car.

    Style-wise, I'll take the Caddy. I'm pretty Meh on the MB styling.

    I prefer the new Merc to the Caddy, but I wouldn't spend my money on either of them.

    Agreed... after the issues with the VW, I'll never own another new German car... lease perhaps, but not own.
