With the latest mercedes sedans, I am torn because I like the sport model's lower intake and front bumper, but I do not like how the sport grill adds the hood line. The luxury model has ugly lower air dam intakes, but has a better looking grill and better rear bumper too.
Am i the only person who finds Mercedes latest design scheme totally out of shape. Doesn't look outright ugly, but looks very out of proportion. Random lines here and there.
People criticize Nissan's/Infinit's melted design language but at least it looks smooth and clean.
Perception of beauty and desirability beyond car's weak design is something only MB, Porsche and Ferrari can pull off.
Styling is in the eye of the beholder. What does someone define as "weak design". To me, this is "strong design". Personally I love the new S-Class and I love how this is really a "mini S-Class". What I hated about previous C Classes is that proportionally they looked like economy cars with high rooflines. The outgoing model is better, but this is far sharper IMHO if looks as good in person as it does in pictures. I don't care for the half "smooth/half sharp" refreshed E but I'm sure when we have an all new E and it follows this styling trajectory I will like it.
The C Class is not the entry level car anymore only because they created a car below it that competes in a different category. This car still competes with the A4, 3 Series and IS. To me this is classy, luxurious, great looking inside with nice woods and metallic look trim, what appear to be nice materials (we'll see in person). This is what I personally would buy.
Can't argue "Style and Design" because that is subjective, everyone will have their own opinion. Now numbers, stats, competitive comparisons, real world experience, knock yourselves out

Exactly, The IS and 3 series are IMHO great looking cars, but this car is classy and luxurious while they are sporty...different strokes for different folks.
