It looks so lame, as does every other late model Mercedes.

Looks very Korean.

better interior design than the last for sure but still dont like the constant use of black plastics. Looks so cheap and dim. What do BMW and Mercedes have against using beige, greys, etc on the dash like many Japanese manufacturers

At least most are glossy. Matte looks terribly cheap

I have a feeling it has something to do with lessening the potential for glare. For the record, you can get the dash colors in brown and dark blue on a regular basis across MB's lineup.

darn, base option is halogens without even a projector. As usual, it will be very expensive to get the loaded model they show in the pics.

Oh give it a break already. At least Mercedes gives you a bigger screen than the 3IS. Lexus gives the 3IS a freaking small screen with HUGE bezels.

i like new C class... but sure, base screen is same as 3IS and you have to upgrade to 8.4".

Basically anything thats above 3IS, you have to pay a lot extra money for... 3IS will have more base equipment, it is really well equiped from start (and much better than 2IS too).

^^ what is the base screen on the IS250 with the display audio? Most people will be willing to pay more for this C class now that they have the CLA to slot into the low 30s. You gotta pay to play.

The CLA is a real POS.

So Mercedes think they're smart by making a FWD turd so that they could increase the price of their ex-base car?

The CLA is a crude car.

You'd be taken more seriously if you at least tried to explain your viewpoints.
