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

Where are these reports, this is new to me.. ?

Mostly German press ... Eg AutoZeitung ... use Google Translation:

Weniger intensiv scheinen sich die Ingenieure der Verarbeitung gewidmet zu haben – zumindest gilt das für unseren Testwagen. Zwar zeigt die Auswahl der Materialien den hohen Anspruch der Schwaben, die schlechten Passungen am Übergang des Armaturenträgers zur Tür und an Kühlermaske sowie Heckdeckel passen aber nicht ins Bild des „besten Autos der Welt“. Hier versprüht die grundsolide Karosseriestruktur des 7er spürbar mehr Solidität.

First time I am becoming excited for a C-Class. Sadly, a lot of the newly-available systems are not something I am going to entertain if/when purchasing, such as Airmatic (reliability) and intelligent drive etc (ratchets price to a base E-Class).

^um ok.. for every such review you can find, i can find one that says its great..

So whats your point, come back when customers have problems with their cars.


PS
While im at it, its acceptable when you come with a brand new interior with no similar parts to other or past interiors, that initially things might not fit perfectly, but they fix it asap.
Not an issue for BMW they only use old proven parts, they been the same since a decade, no wonder they fit haha

Thanks W201! It's an original picture from the time the W126 was introduced in the late seventies/early eighties. Colour is Manganbraun (480) and the woman is driving

I like a lot the W205 from all I know. It will look supreme in its class, will look very elegant and luxurious. But I have to say that although it looks awesome I think thats not a proper interior for the C class. It looks so so sporty. I was used to the elegant interiors for the MB sedans C, E and S. I expected more buttons, more wood, more leather-wood combinations and so on. But I like this revolution anyway and I like this interior because its an "all new" interior. And really I have to say that the S class inspired door panels are gorgeous, they are so upscale now. I think this car will rock the segment. Good job Mercedes-Benz !! Can't wait for the revealing !!

It looks nice! I just hope it's made as well as it looks. There are quite some reviews even on W222 S-class complaining about fit&finish of otherwise superb interior (design & material wise). It's even more the case on lower-end models like A, B & CLA (and GLA, I suppose): first impression is great, perceived quality is great ... but the detailed inspection reveals rather poor fit&finish.

But first impression of the new W205 C-class interior is brilliant! At least from the photos. I guess Audi & even more BMW will have to respond to match this. I just really hope MB resolves the fit&finish issues ASAP. Otherwise it would be like Chinese goods: looking great on first look but than falling apart in your hands.

So, apart from looking good & upscale it also has to feel & work as an upscale stuff.

What fit and finish issues are you jabbering about?

Just shut up... I'll go bring us some pop-corn!

Time to show us some exterior pics!!!!

If the exterior is as good as the interior then this car is going to be the segment rocker.

Butter always helps you swallow "things" faster!

Beautiful interior. The protuding round vents plus how the upper part of the dashboard overlaps the vertical part (aluminum) reminds me of the W114/W115 interior

 

[Merc1]

The interior is almost too sleek for a C-Class sedan. The next C Coupe will be something. All of this though bodes well for the next E-Class which is what Mercedes needs to complete the circle.

Don't lower yourself to those levels. The cars with the oldest parts for BMW are the X1 and X3 which use SOME E90 interior parts. And even then, the E90 is hardly that old. If anything, far more MBs suffer from old crappy radio units and shared ugly controls. They are only now phasing them out, slowly.

Lets just focus on the C klasse here!

Do we know for sure there will be a sporty grill and classic grill with star on the bonnet? Press realease doesn't mention that either (as far as I know).

They will mention it when they introduce the actual exterior pictures
Really hope there will be a classic grille. Ultimate mini S class then.

 

[LaArtist]

^well atleast those parts fit..like a glove or should i say BMW interior..

According to eni and no one else on this earth new MBs have bad fit and finish..

Ask him to focus on the C class, discussion started with him..everything was nice before that

I googled it..... I don't know what Flava flav, but it sounds like some type of kebab or something you'd buy at the gas station. That woman is suffering from a few personality disorders. Poor thing.

flava flav was like the bachleorette minus the upscale class in turn for alot of drama and funny fights.

No one here finds the timing of this release off? I mean does this mean we'll see this next month in L.A. or just the press will? Then the actual public reveal is in Jan at Detroit? I realize the C for the U.S. is being built here so they're going to roll it out here, but it seems about 2-4 months early IMO. Where is Carmaker1 at? Exterior pics?

On the official website, they refer to a "TecDay" dedicated to C Class. If I remember well, they did same stuff on S Class, a TecDay presenting interior design and some key technical solutions something like 1 or 2 months before official reveal. So, it would match with the Detroit Auto Show full disclosure. Just an option though...

I'm really liking that google earth representation on the nav screen, im so glad the new models are getting the new comand system, probably in 2015 all models will have it being that the 2014 still have the white/black comand 2.0
