That car looks nice and serious competition for BMW especially the sport one with the bling grill. I don't really like the other version. Am I right in saying the MB with the big bling grill at the front is going to be the sport version and the other one is like the BMW SE version??? Also love the way how the top half of the interior dashboard is in beige which isn't available in the e90 BMW. The instrument cluster quality and style looks way better due to the digital info intergrated into the speedometer (check pic). The nav screen looks not to bad but if it slides up out of the dash when you switch on the car then goes back in when you switch car off then this is just pure style. Ok they copied the I-Drive knob but what I want to know, is the nav going to have more info and be more user friendly then the BMW i-drive system.

Definately want to see one in person to know the real deal becuase pics are sometimes mis-leading to the eye.

The interior.. eh.

+1
IMO it looks very similar to an RL, and the interior is nothing special.

Oh, c'mon guys, it looks great...if you're 70 or older...
Does not look "young" at all...

Very nice...
I think it's nicer then the E90 especially the rear end. Driving though ot probably won't touch the Bmw but styling wise it's a mini S class which is a bombshell.
But it can't touch the E92.

mmm def · 01-22-2007, 09:11 PM

Don't like it, will wait to see it in person then decide.

Last E92 M3 · 01-22-2007, 09:14 PM

it does look good compare to older model but against E90s, nope.
not even close!!!

shragon · 01-25-2007, 06:22 PM

ehhh, don't care for it. remove all the mercedes emblems and replace them with ram emblems, swap out the grill, and you got a brand new dodge.

Josh49 · 01-25-2007, 06:39 PM

meh

Hunter399 · 01-25-2007, 06:45 PM

Big improvement over the current model!

actually, when i first saw these photos, it reminded me of the e90 because of the indentation that runs along the side of the car. very similar to what the e90 has.

I agree... there's something very awkward about the design. Like a little kid wearing his dad's coat...

Looks like a POS Chrysler to me, unless it has 340+TQ who cares.

unless its AMG fitted, i pay no attention to the c-class... theyre quite boring
