2015 C class, not bad I suppose. An upgrade from the last gen by a lot!

Kinja'd!!!

Front looks ok for the most part. Well, besides the fake vent things every brand is doing.

Kinja'd!!!

Interior is nice for the most part. That screen is sooo dumb. I'm not a fan nor is a lot of our customers. Drives well though. Quiet ride, soft ride overall, comfy like an S60.

So far so good.....until you see the price...

Kinja'd!!!

Ouch! Seems high, but it might just be me already thinking 10 years in advance lol :]

oh well, here is some random Aston photobombing

I mistook the new C for a CLA. Benz is switching to the same design, different sizes approach that Audi uses. But while Audis look good, I just can't get behind Mercedes' new design language. Too bloby.

It's a decent looking car, but it looks way too much like a CLA.

I much preferred the previous unit. The new one's droopy ass, "let's take styling cues from the '90s and call it new!" soft edges, the "fuck it, slap an iPad on the dash" interior, it's all just pure nopesauce.

My local dealer had a C400 for 62K - loaded to the brim.

The ipad screen looks dopey, but spend a half an hour or so using it, and it fits right in. It's only a bad design aesthetically (kind of like a Lexus :) ). The seats are really good, too. Bring over a C250 diesel 4Matic wagon, and I just might.

W213 should be pretty good, too.

DAT S70 THO!!

I like the new Benz corporate nose, but the tail of that C just looks too round, not German enough.

The previous gen C-Class is one of the best looking sedans of all time. I'm not feeling the new one at all. Especially the rear. Everytime I see one it reminds me of the weird Toyota Tundra

Confession: I can't tell the difference between this and the E-Class except for the tail lights. Every time I think I see one, I have to look in the mirror to see which one it is.

I'm like the way it looks but I think the front looks better with the sport package.

In my opinion, the old C-Class was better design in every way.

in many ways, you are correct, but this is a lot of progress none the less. That is a primary Mercedes-Benz trait.

When I worked at Carmax (Summer 2013), the 2008-2012 C-Class was my second personal best-seller, right behind the Honda Accord, and right in front of the Malibu and Rogue. I got pretty acquainted with them in that time. They were nice, but the 3-Series drove better, the A4 had a better interior, and the G37 cost less.

That didn't bother the customers. Hell, they didn't even bother looking at what else was out there. I eventually came the conclusion that they're buying these Mercedes to say they have a Mercedes.

Looks like a tablet stuck on the dash. Ruins the curvature of the dashboard.
