I actually like it. But then, I have always hated the peanut headlights on the current C.

From what I've seen so far, I think the next 3 series, which will compete with the new C class, should look pretty decent .

It's still speculative to compare 2 new models that we've never seen in the flesh yet, but I do think the current 3 series is beautiful and better than the current C class in everyway. Handing, looks, quality, reliability . . . . . etc. You do get tired of seeing that many of them on the road though.

Although MB has cancelled their free maintainence, they still do have their 4 year new car warranty LOL !
May be you should be concerned about driving a loaner instead of your own car quite frequently.

You wouldn't drive it AT ALL when it was in the shop.....regardless of who gave it to you or paid for repairs.
Notice I didn't say " if ".......I said "when" it is in the shop....that's a pretty safe bet with Mercedes.

I think I'm with the majority here who thinks that the next C looks pretty good except for the rear.

It is most interesting, however, that in page 4 of the article it mentions the possibility of a 476hp C63 AMG.
Now that would be one hell of a sports sedan.

For your convenience, here's the Google-translated page 4:

And here's the pics of the next C coupe posted on the same page:

I think the current C coupe is the ugliest MB model in their line-up. Based on these pics, the next C coupe still won't be too much of an improvement.

Yeah, I agree but I like the front of the next model. If it wasn't a hatchback it might not look so bad. It just looks like a little bubble rolling down the road the way it is now.

The new C coupe looks like a joke to me. It screams CHEAP! I think a 2-door Honda Civic looks better than this thing. Somebody please put this car out of its misery.

Well, I guess sometimes a little variety doesn't hurt.
