C-Class (W206) [Official] Mercedes Benz C-Class (W206)

That does look great but those wheels and tires make it useless anywhere other than on smooth pavement.

I’m still not over Mercedes not offering the I6 with the generation C. The car is otherwise perfect looking.

as every CUV/SUV on sale.

No it isn’t. Base models don’t and you can specify other wheels from the factory. So no it’s not like “every” SUV on sale. A base G550 is not hobbled like this nor is the GLC, GLE, GLS. I’m not talking off roading. I’m talking about snow, slush, ice conditions. Not rock jumping, but the way it's presented here it's useless regarding it being an "all terrain" vehicle.

It's going to be such a good looking car. I can't believe that 600+ hp figure though. That's ape shit for a mere "C-Class".

I dig the All Terrain, its the best C-class variant in my opinion. It looks great with raised suspension, big wheels and black trim bits.

I actually wish their SUV designs correspond to the C wagon (see my crappy PS job attached).

The new C300 seems definitely slower than the previous model despite the 16kW/22PS motor boost. I think the weight increase has made a negative impact on performance.

0-100km/h in 6.55sec
0-200km/h in 26.15sec.

The composure and balance of the new C63 S in saloon and T-model looks brilliant on the N-ring with virtually no understeer or over steer and hardly any roll.

Do we know if canning the V8 for a four pot and electricals has made the weight distribution closer to 50:50 and in the process shed a few pounds?

I'm willing to bet the weight distribution improved but it's heavier overall.

Agree, this is despite the "high" e-motor and battery pack, both are being thrashed out on the track at hi-speed with minimal to no tire squeal.
I pointed this out when the E63 was being tested. The new C63s is going to be a good handling performance car.

I'm ready to see the next step with the C-Class. AMG mid-level, I mean something. How many C300 videos can be made.

Compared to what?

Mods, why is this thread pinned?

Cause there is zero vibe for this car from the dinosaur age and we have to keep it alive.
Thought that was pretty clear.

Last time I saw a sticker like that, it ended with me travelling the fastest I think I've ever been on UK roads. It was in my mates Golf R... he was driving, and I don't think he liked what the sticker implied.. and felt he needed to make a point. 'twas a silly thing to do.

He was less keen to race the Yellow AMG A45S we saw the same day... it happened that car was being driven by Lewis Hamilton's brother

Have they been to a UK petrol station recently? There's petrol and diesel in 2 litre milk and juice bottles.
