Mr. Chigga_Chan, I agree with your criticism but I must disagree that the interior resembles anything like an Audi's.

I'm not too sure about that... The last time I sat in an SLK, I didn't like the spongy plastics at all.

Same with me. Passat 2.0TFSI.

Way to conservative for my taste, inside & outside. But it's MB after all - so, perhaps for the MB customer base that's a bonus.

I gave the car a 4.

The exterior design is very nice, many lines that give the car a sporty yet classy look. The rear desing could use a little more work, since there is something that doesn't work to me. I guess it should have a bit bigger lights and the whole boot should be raised up a bit!

The interior, is not up to my liking. I am not a fan of it, but it doesn't mean that it is bad or ugly. It seems to have quality material.

I'll give it a strong 4.
MB have succeded with the design. It looks ver nice, without being overdone. I like the interior and like the shape of the car. The only thing I really do not like, and why my grade isn't 5, are the wheel arches. I really can't stand them. Other then that, it's a very good looking car.

4, may go + 1 upon viewing in person.

i think we can all agree the exterior looks great, but interior is not as elegant as A4 or 3er

MikeJ · **Re: Grade the new C-class -** 01-20-2007, 05:47 PM

I ended up giving it a 3. Coming from me, that is a good grade.

3er interior is no where near as nice as the W204's, that's 4sure.

Not been a fan of some of the recent Benz models, but this one is different. I like it. It looks muscular and angular but still has that sophistication to it as well as looking compact and agile. It looks like a proper compact executive saloon. However, the interior isn't as good. It reminds me of Vauxhalls in certain places... and what happened to the flowing curved dashboards like on the E-class? But overall, I like it so I gave it 4.
