2022 Mercedes C-Class Shows Its Familiar, But All-New Face
Not significantly different from the new S-Class from what we see so far, but that's expected of Mercedes.

Newer Mercedes look bloated because their current design directive is to remove almost every character line that they deem unnecessary. It works well with more unique body types like the CLS. But for basic 3-box sedans like the new S-Class and E-Class refresh, it makes the plainness of the body stand out. Doesn't help that the design language of the newest Mercs was launched by the current A-Class, so now every new Mercedes sedan looks like a stretched version of an economy car.
I've never seen an E-Class get dunked with as many taxi jokes as the new refresh.

mercedes models, on the other hand, just look fat, slab-sided, and swollen to the max. it's not an attractive look. i think the lack of rectilinear creases has something to do with it as a great deal of mercedes models are very curvaceous which of course floats some peoples' boats but definitely not mine. lexus on the other hand, has taken the rectilinear creases to the max on some of their models, e.g., the ux, nx, rc, rx, etc., which is also not an attractive look.

So they're going all out on the ipads huh. Interior looks cheap. They should have done a better job integrating all those lcds
that CLS looks melted and bulbous.
It's interesting that the new mercs make my melted bulbous 3GS look less dated now.

Nice, pains me to see these will be 4-cylinders throughout the line up. But the trade-off should be a much lighter car that includes a lot more aluminum in it's overall structure as well (based off of that story linked).
