Yes, me too... I'm a big fan of wagons from both an elegance and practicality point of view. This car looks like it's got the practicality thing waxed but the elegance component is limited to the column header in the spec sheet.

I hate that D-pillar design - it's so Opel AsVectra-ish...

Triple blech...

Re: New C-Class Estate Exposed

I think that the current BMW 3er wagon is terrible from the back. It looks chunky and totally 'not-sexy'. I wasn't really expecting much from Mercedes. They don't seem to give much care to the designs of their wagons as much as they used to. IE W124 wagon. Mmmm, classic design right? The current E class wagon however is very appropriate and a huge improvement over the W210. IMO.

Re: New C-Class Estate Exposed

The preportion for the rear looks wrong. It looks all bubbly in the rear. Not good.

Re: New C-Class Estate Exposed

Seriously i find nothing wrong with the design.

Of course it's not the most beautiful wagon ever but it's good enough.

It can definitely not beat that beauty. It's just so elegant.

Re: New C-Class Estate Exposed

We also have to consider that the S204 on display there is an entry level CLASSIC trim level model, which looks bland (even the Classic trim W204 sedan looks quite bland. I am sure the car will look much better once you pay more and select Elegance/Avantgarde on the trim level box when you're buying this thing. But for now, I agree that the W204 sedan does look better - and I usually love wagons more than sedans!

Classic trim W204 sedan. Bland? Yep. Looks much classier and exciting in Elegance and Avantgarde trim.
