In preparation for the official news,

2015 Mercedes C-Class images leak



Gallery:
http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2015-...photo-1283941/

Professed images of the redesigned 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class have leaked, reportedly from the automaker's own website according to our Spanish-speaking source. The images that got out include both a standard C-Class wearing its all-new skin, as well as an AMG version. Images of the interior were also leaked, and perfectly match the batch of interior images that Mercedes officially released last week.

The design we see in these leaked images show a stunning sedan, one more organic yet handsome than we were expecting based the heavily clad prototypes seen in spy photos for months. The connection to current Mercedes design trends is clear, with the front end of the standard C-Class looking like a 4/5ths S-Class, and the sides and sloping rear deck lid looking just like the hind quarters of the smaller CLA-Class. The AMG model, meanwhile, looks more like an E-Class up front.

I guess making this look stately and conservative is their way of differentiating it from the CLA?

Looks amazing and that doesn't seem to be the sport model. Mercedes is really on point right now.

Huge grill and fancy LED tube headlights seem to be more and more common on MBZ

Honestly, I don't like it. Look like it want to be a Hatch, but still stretching to stay Sedan

Awkward roof design, the rest is looking good.

mini S class. I hate how the new MB grills for the sport model adds that hood line in the front. The luxury grill fits much better this way.

also the rear window is weird since the sides protrude out of the C pillars

i like it... looks good.

Although overall, they are all starting to look the same to me. I am not sure I will be able to recognize it on the street (compared to CLA or S class).

Looks like a baby S-Class almost spot on. I like this C more than the CLA.

One of the most luxurious rears in the segment
