Is THIS The Refreshed Mercedes-Benz C-Class?

Although we have seen test mules of the updated Mercedes-Benz C-Class, we haven't got a clue as to what it will look like. With that said, we got a scoop from Carscoop that shows the "face" of the car.

But there's a problem: is this the the real deal?

We can't be sure because not even Carscoop is.

Take a look at the images and let us know down below, are the images a REAL or FAKE?


Definitely take this with a grain of salt, but Autobild has published some allegedly official drawings of the facelifted 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class saloon. There's a possibility they may be sourced from some kind of promotional material, but they could also be faked - we're, just not sure.

In any case, the sedan model pictured here appears to feature the same styling changes seen on recent prototype models, most importantly the redesigned front end with the "L" shaped headlamps and re-sculptured bumper, as well as the revised dashboard that encompasses the upper part of the center console...

It looks good, too bad the rear end remained the same!

I call PhotoChop. BTW, I miss the previous generation C-class with the round head-lights. To my eye, it was the last of the Mercedes that had stately elegance, and which immediately set it aside from the homogenous sea of sheet metal and swoopy Asian-inspired headlights.

Actually, I feel completely the oppossite. The previous generation had a soft design. Round edges...round lights...round everything. Current generation is much more masculine amd aggressive looking.

Is this one of those Japanese car magazines with charachictures, drawings, and photoshops of "supposed" new models. If so then I cannot believe this will be the new C-Class. It looks like a toned down last gen S-Class front end. The C is more sleek and sporty looking compared with other models. And definitely not as wide.

Refresh? The current car looks fine. Just redesign it in a few years. That's all.

The pic on this page just looks like an E-Class with the "quad" lights melted together. I dont think this is the new C. If so, its lost its own little "unique" identity from the rest of the Benz line.

I think pics look real. Don't like the bland front end especially overused L shaped headlights. Mercedes for the last few years are coming up with very boring headlights. Only new E class and CLS have interesting headlights.
