Don't get your hopes up, the E90 3 is a solid car.

I don't think I am by that statement??? I just don't see MB really building a 3-Series beater in outright sport.

That last pic with the C in that rear view mirror is taken from a pre-Bangle BMW

Re: W204 C-class discussion III

I still think the mirrors are HUGE. They should've given it the facelifted E-Class' mirrors.

The huge mirrors is a trick to optically reduce the hight of the roofline. This is on of the trikcks designers use to make the cars look more dynamic and sporty, like the side crease the reduces the hight of the vehicle and the pronounced fenders that optically increase the the size of the wheels.

Re: W204 C-class discussion III

In these latest spy pictures, you can easily see the shape of the car and the lights, it looks good!

Quite a long time though till it's going to be unveiled!
