cawimmer430 · 02:37 PM

FRONT CGI generated shots of the new C-Class. AMS said in their review that they have insider information that the new C-Class will very likely look like this. I LOVE IT.

Top engine will be the 450-hp 6.2 V8 in the C63 AMG.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the engine lineup.

4-cylinder gasoline
C180 (156-hp)
C200 (184-hp)

6-cylinder gasoline
C230 (204-hp)
C280 (231-hp)
C350 (272-hp)

8-cylinder gasoline
C63 AMG (450-hp)

4-cylinder diesel
C200 CDI (136-hp)
C220 CDI (170-hp)

6-cylinder diesel
C320 CDI (224-hp)

Great stuff, thanks for the post. I hope the C-class comes out looking as close to this as possible.

the front is really hot, the rear is so so

No problem, guys.

I do like the front and rear and side profile a lot. Makes the current C-Class look BORING. Just like the W221 made he W220 S-Class appear boring and dated - IMO.

Ok, you really need to quit smoking. It's affecting your judgement.

Lol!

Man, i like the sound of words "The new C will be smaller S", but i hate the fact that the front in those PSs will look exactly the same; almost a pure copy of the real S... Technical features from S in the new C?

But hell no to design! This car is for younger people than those who buy S, it's design must be something fresh, clear and unique (vs. other MB line up), IMo of course... I don't expect anone to agree...

Well, if you look closely, it doesn't really look like an S-Class. There are some "light styling cues", but overall, the car doesn't even look like an evolution of the current C-Class. The W221 S-Class looked like a clear evolution of the W220 S-Class. Not the case here. The W204 looks like a completely new design from these CGI images. I hope it will look like this since it's hot IMO.

And I have to see it in real life as well.

Well, if they do end up using the 6.2L in the C AMG people should be rushing to pick it up, a less than $1000 ECU reflash and bang 530hp...in a C-class.

Almost! But anyway, it's only my 1st impression after those 99% accurate PS...

IRL is what i want...
