Somehow by looking at the spy pictures alone, you can sort of tell that the new C class will handle a lot better than the current one, it seems wider,shorter in height, and as Vivaki said the proportions are perfect.

Kick ass Vivaki! Car is shaping up to look great, especially with those larger rims.

Edit: The only complaint I have with the car thus far is the size of the mirrors. I don't understand how they can be so big when other models in their lineup (S/CL/ML) have small, sleek mirrors.

I'm curious to know why the command implementation is different here than in the S-class. Why is the knob mounted on the dash and not the transmission tunnel?
It doesn't look like it has the Mercedes' version of iDrive. The knob just looks like a power/volume button, like on the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Why do I get the feeling that the pictures were taking by the driver himself?? Anyone notice the key?? No way would they leave the interior like that in a public parking lot.

So no Direct Select for the C?? Are those paddles behind the wheel?? At least it's getting Keyless Go . The COMAND controler seems to be on the wheel only. The button on the dash looks like a power button for the Sat. Nav. The instrument cluster looks better than the current C's. Reminds me of the W211 E-Class IC.
Dash resembles the ML's, except for that sat. nav. screen. Told you the mirriors are HUGE and they're not gonna change 'em now. Headlights and tailights look like the ones on the new CL.

Overall, I like it. But the interior could've been A LOT better!

The proportions look really good/sporty, but that interior design is going to have to look much better in person.
