C-Class (W205) [Spyshots] 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W205) Spy Photos

[W201]

That seems like an older recording, considering the car has plastic wraps over its hood and boot lid.

There is E90 3 Series passing by at 0:46 - the C doesn't look much bigger, so it makes me wonder how does it compare to the F30...

 

[Serpens]

It'll have space comparable to the F30. The F30 isn't much bigger than the E90 either.

If MB wants to beat the BMW 3er on every category, they have at least to offer the following:
for the 4 banger engine: 2 liter turbo which produces at least 230hp or more ( even though the 3er makes 240hp) . Transmission should be the new 9G-TRONIC.
MPG should be 35 highway/25 city.
Price should start from $35K.
What do you guys think?

Yep, my mistake. It is an E on the right. And still employeed. 15 years this month. (August 1998)

Depends. One of our trainers was in a 5-series with the new 4-banger. Driving it for competive training. Although he loved the power, he said they were having issues. Anyone know?? I'd be careful about winding those 4 cyl up so tight. I love the C250 I'm driving. Much better than the C300 it replaced.

Thank you tennmb. I really hope the W205 won't disappoint me with the interior. If it is close to the CLA ( I mean the interior) then I'd rather get the CLA. Beside that, I want to try the diesel engine , and I trust MB for its diesel. Also, the new GLA is another coming attraction. Geeze, too many good choices and not enough money. Anyway, I will wait for the debut of the new C atDetroit autoshow 2014 before making the final decision.

Those are fantastic numbers, Wolfgang. The reason I am waiting for the new C is because of its RWD. I have been driving FWD for so long and now want a change. But, with this new MPG for the CLA, I am torn. Anyway, since the new C and CLA share the same 4 banger engine , do you think the MPG for the new C would be 35/25 (highway/city) ?

What are the CLA and S-Class orders looking like?

The numbers might be incorrect or were released inadvertently. They are missing now on the site above? Were they too good to be true? Time will tell.

Looking very good..let's hope that the interior won't dissapoint us

Based on the first picture, I don't think they use the stacked up display ( I-pad style).

[Mr. Mercedes]

The 'floating' screen is there in all it's glory. Brace yourself for a big old bitch fest on GCF!

 

[Merc1]

OMG, Mercedes has been using that cobblestone section of track to test cars since 1886 lol.

I cannot believe this is even a question. It's obviously there. Get with it GCF.

 

[Gianclaudio]

It's shaping up beautifully, and THANK YOU GOD, it doesn't have inmense headlights.

You are right. From the last picture that bombardier01 posted, I can see that damn display.

[Mr. Mercedes]

That looks like a base spec car with chubby wheels and no exhaust tips and it still looks decent.
