Kind of too american, with the eurospec headlight/eyebrow.
AMG looks cool tough.
Interior, this can't be a Mercedes...

The one with the star grille looks awesome. The other one, boring. I like the interior! Very nice car overall. Want to see more from the rear. I really like the new Benzes nowadays. Together with Audi, their designs really are futuristic, without "overdone", like BMW's.

Looks good, but hits a flat note with me personally. I don't like Benz going "chunk line" with this car.

But... (wait for it) ... I'll reserve my final judgement when I see one in person.

I'm sorry, without going off topic but Audi desings are not futuristic. They're beautiful and sleak, but putting some led's on a car does not make it futuristic; In fact, their designs are some of the most conservative on the market.

As for the MB, waiting for better pictures. Not impressed so far, interior looks like a nissan.

Looks more like a Dodge then a Benz.

I really like this, and I agree, I think the star in the grill looks best here.

Don't like the interior at all, looks way to messy, except for the steering wheel, I like that alot, I always thought BMW and Audis new steering wheels were way to big and chunky.

Can't wait to see it in person. Oh and when can we expect a new CLK with similar styling?

The white one with the AMG kit looks sweet, the others look dated and boring. I like the steering wheel, but the rest of the interior looks crap.

Re: First Official 2007 C Class W204 Pics, Cont'd Thread 5.

Kind a expected. But I like it. Kind a.

W2004 is following the W203 design karma being a baby S-class. I remember when W2003 was launched, and it looked MUCH more up-scale & elegant than E46 3er. It was a cute baby S. It's the same thing this time.

Exterior is very balanced & elegant. Very MB. Definitely not as dynamic & modern as E90 3er, or simple & clean as Audi. It's typical Benz, and will appeal to Benz customer base.

I prefer the Elegance version, & do not like the Avantgarde one with the star-grille at all. Looks weird on a sedan. It should had stayed on coupes / cabrios / roadsters only. Pity such distinctive design difference / special feature have been lost now with W204. AMG kit leaves me cold.

Interior is classic & very conservative. Nothing special & exciting design wise. I'm sure the quality is very good, yet the design is too ordinary. The lack of decorative trim on the upper part of the dash is a surprise. I expected a trim on the upper part of a beige dash part - make it similar to GL solution. Now it looks very Lexus IS, ML A-clss, Bclass, pre-facelifted X3, etc).

Overall is typical Benz & I'm sure it will sell very well - especially MB putting all efforts to make C-class segment's benchmark in comfort & safety. And this is what Benz should be. Leave the sporty & dynamic qualities to BMW, and all-roundness to Audi.

In my very honest opinion, it's the most ugly thing in the whole interior... Just like with S...Sorry...

Re: First Official 2007 C Class W204 Pics, Cont'd Thread 5.

I am very impressed by Mercedes. The exterior of the car is absolutely fantastic. Buy i don't like the interior at all...

The dashboard and the steering wheel seem to me like totaly out of place and very very very concervative...

QUESTION: How do you guys see the new C against the BMW 3er and the A4?

Re: First Official 2007 C Class W204 Pics, Cont'd Thread 5.

I love the interior. I guess I'm alone on this one. Exterior is fabulous.

Re: First Official 2007 C Class W204 Pics, Cont'd Thread 5.

^exterior is alot better than the competition..especially the front...
cant say about the rear yet..need to see more

interior is atleast on par with the 3ers wich is even more boring and sad
but the audi seems to have the best looking interior at the moment..
but as above need to see more..

with AMG package it rocks evey car in this segment..

I think the differences between will be even wider: BMW is even more dynamic than before, MB even more comfortable (according to MB PR), while I'm sure Audi will try to be all-rounder even more - bringing the best of both worlds.

Yes, sure they will all be comfortable & dynamic, yet will focus on their best qualities again.
