New C-Class Pics!

New C-Class Pics!

These new Mercedes C-Class pics were in our email box this morning, though the car itself isn't due until next year's Geneva motor show. As we've written about it before, the new C-Class will share more of its components than before with the larger E-Class, the next C will be more distinctive in its own right: Mercedes-Benz wants to position it as a true small sports sedan, rather than simply a smaller answer to the E.

The base engine will be a direct injection 1.8-liter four with horsepower from 150 to 190. The 2.5-liter V-6 will make 210 hp, while a 3.5-liter V-6 makes 270 hp. An AMG 5.4-liter V-8 will be stuffed into a special C-Class, churning out 400-410 hp to compete with the Audi RS4 and the next BMW M3. A 3.0-liter diesel is planned, as is an iDrive-like operating device similar to that found in the new S-Class. An all-wheel-drive system will be available.

The official launch of the new C-Class is expected for the Geneva Motor Show in 2007, with sales starting shortly thereafter. The wagon version will arrive at least six months after the sedan.

    Well, they don't look like obvious Photoshops. However, there's no badge (e.g. C200) on the decklid. How real do we think these are?

    If this really is the next C-Class, then Mercedes-Benz has hit another huge home run.

    Those pics, unfortunately, is not the real car. The new C looks very much different; in fact, take a close look at the current S-class, downsize it, then add a few steroids and you have new C. The pictures you have on the site are modified CLS pictures; however well done it's not even close.
