C-Class (W204) Official: 2011 C-class (W204 facelift)

[-=Hot|Ice=-]

As someone who has has test driven the new 3 series(M3 included) and has a C63 AMG coupe ordered, The face-lifted refreshed C-Class blows the interior quality on the 3er away. The M3 doesn't hold a candle to the C63's leather. I'd go as far as to say it's damn well near Porsche quality. Everything feels so tight, and well fitted. BMW has been losing sight of what and who they are as of late(my opinion of course) MB stays true to their roots. Luxury with a hint of performance.

That's clever

Cheeky but subtle

 

[Tarek]

Good one.

 

[Tarek]

I really love the W204.

Sharp and clever ad!

We know how it goes when the BIG 3 goes against one another in advertising. I can't help to wonder BMW's retaliation....BMW 3er, the only Star in it's class

"Behind each of these 750,000 vehicles from Sindelfingen is the enthusiasm of the automaker," said plant manager Willi Reiss. "The numbers speak for themselves - and show how popular the C-Class sedan is."

I even forgot the awesome W204 C63 i had that was a beast..

The W204 is defintely the most complete C-Class car so far. Sedan, Wagon, Coupe, almost perfect engines, and a real Mercedes interior finally. The next one will be even better. Mercedes seems to be on a mission to improve quality on everything they put out now. The ML, GL are finally up to where they should be and the C will be built (for U.S. consumption) in the same U.S. factory in 2014. The interior should be a real winner.

I can't wait to see the interior of the next gen C class, and the quality of the materials in particular. BMW 3er is good, A4 is about equal (and better next gen), and I hope the W205 will be a true MB with the best interior quality of them all.
But no doubt, there quite a bit to improve over the benchmark in this class (3er), quality wise....

Wow, it looks AWESOME with the Luxury grille and standup Star and AMG Pack! Never seen it like that. Looks so much more imposing and strong, like a baby E-Class.

 

[K-A]

I agree. Put them next to each other and you see the E's sheetmetal is like an advancement of the C's. It's much more dynamic, fluid and sharper, albeit quite a bit more busy and less simplified. All in all, the bloodline is very intact, one being a bit of a simpler, early iteration, and the other being further in that design idiom and more complex (fits the personalities of the segments better: C is more compact therefore more sporty in nature, so its metal could be more relaxed, while the E's size and nature could render it more "stodgy" if too boring, therefore needed some more "flair" to balance things out).

correct..204 is a spectacular car of one of my favourite modles (c-class), it is almost everything to expect from a merc compact exec, hint of sportiness combined with a dose of mini s-class luxury elegantly proportioned, plus top comfort quality safety, this c-class looks so mature and understated for its segment especiall , also the immense hard work put into its developlment to bring back a dose of proper old school merc quality, which i still remember the spy pics back a few years ago, 24million kilometers testing etc,, was astounding and is seen and felt in these cars, i think it is somewhat underated by many, superb cars, as you said should obtain classic status. quarter million sold well deserved

It's pretty fast for an entry level C-Class. I mean, it wasn't that along ago that the C180 still needed 11 seconds to sprint from naught to 100 km/h. So 8.8 seconds from 0-100 is a very good progress from the days that the C180 needed 11, 12 and even 14 seconds to sprint to 100 km/h

White is right... As long it's got some nice rims, though.

Red seatbelts? That's a bit like matching a Sunday suit with red designer trainers. Rebecca is beautiful, btw.

That's AMG Plus package, which is kind of more sporty than regular.

As we all know, red seatbelts can add up to 3 hp.
