It's a CGI from AMS.

I like it, and wouldn't be surprised if it looked a lot like that.

This is more like it! Now that rear is looks good! Too bad that this is a photoshop but I am hoping the real thing will look like this. At least give the car some "new aspects".

like it as well. I think it will look even better in black and hope it gets the new wing mirrors, ala slk FL. Unlike the W204!

That last illustration is probably it. Not bad, but still......we'll see. They gotta make it drive much better and the interior has to be better built and technically up to date.

The tail lights look very over dimensioned in that chop.

From the spy pics, we can see that the interior is a simple facelifted W203 interior. Not bad, but then again not the best in class either.

Well between the SC, A3 and 1-Series for me the best interior is easily the SC. However it will have to survive to the new A3 and new 1-Series in few years, and it could be hard...

I can easily compete with the A3 and 1er if MB brings down the price. The car isn't as bad as some people say it is. It looks quite upscale and trendy.

You're perfectly right, the SC is a good car.
Compared to 1 and A3, it gives the impression to be in a much bigger, much more expensive car. It may not be very sporty, it is a Mercedes after all. You can travel long distances without being tired with the SC.
I also find it looked good. Not the beautiful car, but far from looking as bad as some say!

However, when the new gen 1 and A3 will be released, it may will be hard for the W203-II based CLC to compete. Untill then I find it is perfectly well, and this FL looks very very good too. If it is well priced it will be a very interesting entry-level Mercedes.
