Gah I hate how Mercedes ditched the classy headlights on this and the S for something so angular and Japanese looking. ---

I wouldn’t call that peanut shaped thing “classy.” I would buy an E-Class just to avoid the ugly known as the new C-class and S-Class. ---

GAAAHH… GRRRR\>. WTF… OMFG WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY [seinfeld] WHY is it… that every car that’s made now has to take styling from the CTS [/seinfeld] The New camaro concept, the ford fuson, the mercury verion of the fusion, this car, and tons others that I’m not thinking of right now. ---

I never liked the C-class headlights… I am however totally dissapointed in the new S class front end…the previous gen was sooooooooo pretty… Oh well, E-class is still the best looking sedan on the road ---

the c class sucks anyways. Part of the reason benz reliability is sinking right now. Making cheap entry level cars that everyone can have. ---
