    At launch, the C-class engine lineup will be pared down from the current car’s quartet of gas-fed motors to just two. The outgoing C250, C300, C350, and C63 AMG models give way to the C300 and C400. Whereas last year’s C300 came with a lower-output version of the C350’s V-6, the 2015 C300 gets a turbocharged 2.0-liter four tentatively rated at 235 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. The C400 designation is new, and that model gets a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 pumping out 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. Both the C300 and C400 utilize the same seven-speed automatic transmission. Launch models will come exclusively with 4MATIC all-wheel drive, but rear-drive variants eventually will be offered. C-class is claimed to weigh about 220 pounds less than it did last year, despite its larger dimensions. The weight savings are attributed to a higher mix of high-strength steels and aluminum in the body structure, as well as an aluminum hood, roof panel, trunk, and front fenders.

    Honestly this is the BEST looking compact sedan I've seen in many years, I've even added the C400 model on my must own car list.

        I am not sure either, kind of looks like they took the front of the E-Class and back of the CLA and made it the new C Class. Personally I think Mercedes is falling behind BMW and Audi in the design department and the interiors are not my favorite either.

              I really don't like what Mercedes is doing with their styling recently. It looks like some other car, but I can't put my finger on it at the moment.

              Edit: It reminds me of the Buick Regal and Verano. The shape of the lights and some of the lines are very similar.

                  I actually love the styling, maybe I am turning into an old man.

                    Nothing really distinguishing about it IMO. Slap a Hyundai, Buick or any other badge and you wouldn't even blink at the styling.

                      The first image looks like the last generation 3 series which was designed 10 years ago :o
                      What are they thinking? First the CLA and now this. Brutal in my opinion.

                          Nothing to identirfy it as a Merc other than the badging. Looks pretty lame if you ask me, and the back end is just nasty. Do not want.

                            I know what you guys are thinking, Mercedes tried too many new stylings on this new car, so much that it doesn't have much DNA from the previous cars, but I reckon the overall look is really good IMO, and the twin turbo six will just be awesome.

                              I think Ford should be givin no credit for "their" style. With all the new cars it looks like they took all the styling ques from Aston Martins.. So stupid.

                              Mercedes is not bad, the back is kinda strange but other than that I think its decent looking car.
