Looks good but the engine package cannot be cheap and only to get to 332hp. Ouch. Clean otherwise.

IMO, so much nicer looking than the current C.

I guess, except for the front end. The quad joined headlights were exclusive to the c-class. The e-class has quad but seperated headlight. The s has a full single headlight. Now the new c mimicks the s. I don't dig that.

I dunno, seems like the fronts are actually less similar in the latest two than in the earlier two.

Looks like another victory for Brabus... I definitely think that the newly styled C-class will be a serious winner for MB.

He sure is. Seeing them together...I can see there always was a similarity. I stand corrected. I still like the current front end better than the new one though.
