Oops ....

Here are some amateur shots of a rather unintended early preview of the next generation Mercedes C Class.

When a small group of Daimler-Chrysler engineers with two test cars of the new C-Class took a turn on the German Autobahn A1 near Cologne, one of the prototypes ran into technical trouble and stalled in the middle of the emergency lane next to the shoulder. To dig deep into the innards of the top secret car, the engineers had to lift the disguise from the front end before being able to open the hood.

And there it came to light – the all new front end styling, larger headlights and grille and a new hood. All in all the next C-class is adapting styling elements from the S-class.

The model range will officially debut at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show.

Falcon LS

A new MB that looks better than the car it replaces.

LexFather

Looks like a Ford Fusion with a Benz grill.

WHEN CAN I SEE SOME GERMAN DESIGN AGAIN??????

bruce van

I agree. What happened to the Germans? I actually like the styling of the current C-class.

The rear end styling of this car reminds me of a Honda Accord.

looks great IMO

It's not bad. I can tell by looking at it that the C-Class will easily be able to swallow some pretty big wheels. I personally like it, but the shots I've seen of the possible rear end of it haven't sparked my interest (looks like the current Civic)

SteVTEC

A brand new as of yet unreleased Mercedes, broken down with technical problems to the point where it died completely, right on the autobahn. oh the irony...

TheRupp

Ugh tell me about it. I thought of that as well as soon as I saw it. I think Mercedes needs to stop offering "the latest and greatest" and worry more about quality and fuel efficiency, 2 main things that the majority of buyers look at. They're great enthusiast cars, especially the AMG models, but only when they're running.
