Shots of Next Benz C-Class Surface!

The folks over at The Car Connection report that someone kindly plunked images of the next Mercedes-Benz C-Class in their inbox today, remarkable considering that the marque’s entry-level luxury sedan isn’t slated to debut until the 2007 Geneva Motor Show.

Reportedly, the sedan is set to get a sportier bent, though it will share more of its unseen bits with the company’s mid-level E-Class. The move should make it a better foil for the BMW 3-Series and upcoming Infiniti G35 replacement

TCC indicates that the base model will receive a 1.8-liter direct-injection I4, generating in the neighborhood of 150-190 horsepower. Next up is a 2.5-liter V6 generating 210 horsepower, and the top non-AMG 3.5-liter V6 should be good for 270 horsepower. Although TCC offers no such guidance, we’re guessing that only the latter engine will be available for U.S. consumption. Naturally, an AMG-fettled 5.4-liter V8 will make the scene as well, along with a 3.0-liter oil-burner

The photo looks nice, but is this offcial or photo edited?
I would really like to see the New C-Class coupe if there are picture; please post!
Also, in this category the HP range is 290-306. So I would MB would match those number just like the competition.

I can already tell you that photo chop or not I like this better than the current 3 series. If this is the styling direction they are going in they are on the right track...T

I this is the new C-Class, i'd prefer it more than the 3-Series. The other photoshops with B-Class rear look disgusting. I want to see the interior also Merc releasing new models for US market. A C280 Kompressor in Luxury and Sports should be made, a C350 in Luxury and Sports should be made as well as a C63 AMG. Possibly a C500 could sell well, as well as a C320 CDI Diesel.

AUstralian market should have more powerful models. Give us a C200 Kompressor, C240, C280, C350 and then a C63 AMG and also a C35 AMG so it can compete against M3.

I think the new C-Class's interior could've been took out of an Audi. Even the steering wheel screams Audi at me! The interior door screams Audi too with its Audi A4/6 door handles
