Tag Link: 2008 Mercedes C-Class

One of the hardest things to pull out of a car review is how large or small is the car in real life compared to the competition.

The new Mercedes C-Class is larger, but how much larger is it?

001 took these photos today in Portland of the new C-Class next to two of its rivals, the BMW 3-Series and the Lexus IS-Series.

And based on my past experience driving all of them, the new C-Class DEFINITELY feels larger inside the cabin and on the outside.

Hopefully these photos give all of you a better idea of how the new C-Class looks in real life on the street and you can be the judge.

So how does the 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class stack up against the competition

IS looks better. Now I find that the new C's rear looks very like 2005 Camry.

It doesn't look that much bigger than either in my opinion. That grey one looks sportier than the BMW it's parked next to though. You should have parked it next to a 335i.

Good luck finding a 335 in downtown Portland! Drove around for an hour just to find the two cars...wanted to also have an A4 comparo but there wasn't even ONE in the downtown core...driving or in any of the parking lots! :(

And you know F all about the interior.
The C class has a better interior than the IS, 3 series and A4.
How do I know?

I did a SIDE BY SIDE comparison at a motorshow, they were all there.
The C class felt the best, but looked plain in black. In beige it looks a lot better.

I saw the C with a beige and wood interior (the Elegance model).
And it really is better than those other cars. Girls car or not, is has a very good interior.

By FAR, Sevor? I don't think so. It's above average, but when the class standard is the five-year-old Audi A4, it should've done better. You know how much I like Mercs (especially the S and CL), but the interior of the new C didn't blow me away. It's not as bad as some are claiming, though.

Not one comment about the G35 or other same class competitors. My opinion is the interior does not look that nice. Not nearly as nice as the 07 G/lexus or even the TL. Hell, they have a 2003 G35 popup nav screen, talk about going backwards.

Monty: I wouldn't exactly call the A8 pop-up nav screen going backwards. Aston Martin, and to an extent, Rolls Royce also has a version of a hidden navigation similar to this although I wouldn't exactly say they are comparable.

I agree, Will.

But the A8, SC, Phantom, etc. don't really have "pop-up" systems. They're hidden behind wood trim and they swivel into the open, but a pop-up is what you would find in an XC90, X3, last-gen G35: when it literally goes upwards.

Hilarious how people are already rating the New C performance, interior, etc before even seeing on...lol. I leave the real comparos to the experts and biased yahoos on websites then test drive them myself to see what is best for ME.

We all have our preferences and there is nothing wrong with that. With that and just ging by the pics I would say the IS is more sporty and the C Class more luxo-sport. I personally like the look better than the IS..preference. The interior of the new IS is good and platform is solid. This goes for the BMW 3 series, with 3 series with a better driving feel.

This new C-Class front look very similar to Scion TC and the rear light remind me of the last Toyota Camry.

Information:
In Middle East C Class outsells nearer rival 3 Series by 2 to 1.

Not only C but every MB here outsells it's rival by a big margin.

Fabian and Rupert

C Class is already on sale here in UAE for more than 3 months now.

Many local as well as AutoCar Middle East and Car Middle East have tested and compared the C class to 3 Series and IS.

MB C350
V6 3.5
0-100 in 6.3sec

BMW 335i
I6 3.0
0-100 in 5.2sec

Lexus IS300
V6 3.0
0-100 in 7.4 sec

And in every magazine 335i came first and in one IS (Remember Middle East gets the 228BHP IS300) took the second spot and in one New C Class came in second.

Nearly every mag said that IS's only weak point is the 228 BHP 3.0l V6 and the 0-100 dash in 7.4 seconds.

On other hand this is the first time Middle East Reviewers are not impressed that much from a MB as before.

Nearly everybody criticized the interior and some even complained that while driving sometimes it feel heavy.

The C is underpowered compared to it's larger engined rivals, but it's not slow.
I'm sure the 350 CGI (direct injection) will come in, that has 295 or something hp.

And Jugnu, I'm not trying to be rude, but it's quite an Arabic thing to like the glitzier things in life, no? The C's interior does look plain, I will admit that, I think it needs more, and this lack of glitz could be what is putting of these Arabic reviewers.
But like you say, Merc outsells everyone in the Middle East, so why should they care?

Are you sure the C350 got 0-62 in 6.3 seconds? Because that just doesn't look right to me... I have a feeling it's more like 5.8 seconds.

IF you say anything against the german brands, then all the bloggers get deboosted. This site is totally pro german. But anyway, I'll post the comment that i feel is right and don't care about this prejudice. The IS looks the best by miles, then the BMW, and then the Mercedes. The C class looks to have degenerated hunch in the back and the rear lights look cheap and exclusively bland and ugly. Although I must say Mercedes seems to have improved the quality of the C class by using some vulgar grilles and lots of chromes. The C class looks like an outdated rubbish standing next to the IS. Doesn't matter if Lexus is not the most prestigious of the brands, this new IS is just a revolution in car design. Utterly beautiful.

Have u read my comment above?

I have clearly written that in Middle East we don't get the IS350 or IS250.Only IS300 with 228BHP.

One more thing this is the first time Middle East is getting the Lexus IS Series. We didn't got previous generation IS.

Anything more u want to ask u can.

MB gives all the models here. Starting from C180, C200 Kompressor, C230, C280, C350 and after it's release C63 AMG too.

MB is just so much here. It’s so much respected.

But this is the first time new C has not got great reviews.

It really depends on what you're looking for in a car. If you want the sportiness of a Japanese compact sedan with some cool looking styling cues on the inside the Lexus is for you. If you want a trusted name in the business for handling and overall ride quality then the BMW 3 series is the benchmark. If you want a well put together, solid feeling car that is understated then get an Audi A4. If you want a nice contemporary look with a well put together interior and a great exterior look (compared to the previous gen) then get this new C-Class.

I personally think the C-Class that Agent 001 drove was very nice. It's bigger, more solid, and more attractive. It's not the quickest in the segment but it really caters to those who want style but not necessarily all that power. If they wanted performance in a C then the C63 would be the model to get.

fair enough, however one that that I witnessed about the A4 is it's safety. I don't care what people say or what people read in magazines or whatever. I saw an A4 rear ending a Matrix on a wet day. The A4 literally did an endo. The rear lifted up after impact and the two made it out alive. The car was going well over 60mph.

MrGunFun, why don't you close the Consumer Reports and drive an A4 2.0T S-Line? When he says "solid," he means it's how the car is built. It feels very well-made, with the beautifully finished interior, the "thunk" of the doors closing, the no-wear leather seats, etc...

The C-Class is definitely better looking than the 3-Series, but it looks to different from the IS to tell which one is better looking. This IS has a more sleek look to it and the C-Class has a more classy look to it. Too different to tell.

The lexus is pure crap I'm sorry but it is. It should not be on the same level as a 120 year pedigree car like BENZ. The C Class is entry level and it's stunning in every way.
When lexus/camry started to build their cars, they used Benz as the yardstick,its easy to copy, but only true champions lead, so all you lexus losers go home and compete with your honda's and nissans and leave the big boys alone.

All euro cars are champions with heritage, even the Saab.

Heritage doesn't matter. This is coming from a Jaguar-lover, am I wrong? Then I can see why you'd think so. But Jaguar is about to step into the twenty-first century (they practically have already with the XK), and you should, too. Cars are for TODAY.

What?! Yeah, sure Lexus used Mercedes as their goal. But now, they have their own style. You can tell their Japanese because they have a more advanced/futuristic look to them. The Mercedes doesn't. Mercedes sticks to the elegant look. Lexus doesn't copy the Germans anymore. And like S4 said, heritage doesn't matter. Most cars with a lot of history to them can't even come close to the quality of a Lexus (like Saab).

When the interior is compared to a jet, does that mean a pleathora of buttons and switches on the dashboard? Does it mean quality only in certain places? ie. nice leather seats but cheap plastic used for the overhead lockers and tray tables?

Apparently my electric toothbrush has been compared to an F16 figher jet, offering a 'new level of performance'. Is that good or what?

And I think my toothbrush is German.

<b>BUCKFUSHdotcom:</b><i>The design of the IS grows on you. You acctually like it more after 6 month then you did in the beggining.</i>

That is hilarious, I know somebody with an IS350 sport + nav + mark levinson, etc... He wants to sell it for a Mazda 3 and has had it 1 year. He talks about how awesome it is but doesn't want it. I would buy it from him buy now it just looks like an expensive Camry.

I like the new 2008 C-Class and I'm buying one, my first luxury car. Test drove Acura, Lexus and BMW and have to say for some reason the Mercedes just felt better to me. Drove like a dream and that was the 2007. Can't wait to test a 2008 the next couple weeks when they come in.

I haven't seen pricing online but the dealer is going to send me options pricing soon. I'll post info when I get it. Ordered a 2008 C300 with Premium 2, Multimedia and 18" wheels. The only thing that will make me back out is the price.

Ill take a Gullwing over any Cadillac.

Who knows what an El Dorado is? and if its been to "pimp my ride". The Gullwing screams elegance and prestige. MUCH more than any cadillac every will.

My view of cadillacs? Oddly pieced together luxury cars that tasteless people and rappers drive. Why ruin a perfect stock vintage original car and customize it? To each its own.

Lexus does have a simple interior. Most of the controls are controlled using the navigation screen which makes it a lot less cluttered because you can control several different things using the same general area of the car.

admit it, most of you hate how you appear in pictures.

withhold your judgments on this new C until you SEE IT IN PERSON, i think you'll be pleasantly surprised if not truly amazed at how sexy it turned out.

IS300 headlights and nose, Camry taillights. The current C-class looks better. The squared off headlights don't look right on the C sedan.

The E is still the best looking Benz imo.

Hey Buckwheat,

I cant dish Cadillac’s anymore they are a cool classic car no doubt about it, and those early 50's one are awesome. But accept Merc Benz are better, by design by reputation. Really look at the SLR and all the SL, also go Google the 1935 150 and theres the 1935 500K priceless….

Lexus IS = RWD Acura TL
335 = There is no equal
New "C" = Underperforming, overpriced, good looking (exterior), Budget interior german sedan.

C-Class is merely okay at best for me. None of the cars mentioned really interest me. Caddy's new CTS and Pontiac's upcoming G8 have my full attention, though. I own a BMW, but my next car will probably be American. Jusy my preference.
