SPIED: I Spy TROUBLE For The Audi A5 Cabriolet And BMW 4-Series — Mercedes C-Class Cabrio Looking STRONG In New Shots

I feel like I've been writing this a lot in 2015. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has been eating some manufacturer's cars for breakfast. While I am sure someone will point to other models moving more units in volume, the reality is that if you want the benchmark vehicle, the C-Class is it for the time being.

Agent 001 likes to say that the industry runs in cycles and he's right. And right now the three-pointed star is slaying the competition. To me I wonder why the other guys are even trying at this point.

While we've seen the C-Class sedan and coupe — and respective AMG variants — we're now looking at the all-new C-Class Cabriolet. We've been stalking this one for what feels like an eternity but the other spy shots can't hold a candle to these.

These are some truly exception snaps and it basically captures the vehicle completely in the buff. From what I can see I'd guess it's a C450 Cabriolet given the seat belts and exhaust — I could be wrong.

Having said that, do YOU think that the C cab will spell trouble for the Audi A5 and BMW 4-Series convertible?

What say you, Spies?

These are vehicles that sell in a trickle and are usually motivated out the door with sweetheart leases. The new A5 will look like the old one. This Mercedes is boringly predictable.

Why does the front half of the car look larger than the rear half in some of the pictures? I hate the cut line on the new C-class that comes over the front wheel arch and drops/tappers through the back door. Total saggy ass look.

Ever since Mercedes stepped away from the quad round headlights, their styling has generic. To *ME*, they looks like what Lexus would have evolved into if they had not got into that goofy "Predator" style they adopted.

I most likely will trade in my A5 Cab for a C-Class cab. There is still no indication on when the new A5 will come out, let alone the cab, and I have been waiting for a C-Class cab for a long time. The new interior is bounds better than the E-Class (though the new one looks promising) and it'll also be priced better than the E-Class.
