I got behind the wheel of our C300 again for the first time in a long time and was reminded how much I like this car.
What I like most (and many will disagree with me) is it's looks. At first I thought the snub nosed German was a little much, but over time it has definitely grown on me. It has presence.
Granted the design is due to upcoming EU pedestrian safety regulations, but it's tough guy good looks are like putting a boxer with a mangled schnoz into a sharp looking tuxedo. He might not win a beauty contest, but his intimidating gaze won't let you doubt his style.

I like the look of this car a lot and I think its a huge improvement over the previous version. Right now its the only sedan in the MB line up that I like. The S-class is downright hideous.

I kind of like the C class styling. Sure the nose is high but most new designs have the same issue. It's aggressive without being over the top like some other vehicles. I wouldn't feel like a weenie driving the C-class. The 3 series looks much too tame and ho-hum in comparison if you ask me.

I've always liked the way the C-class looked. Like Doug said, it looks way better than the old one which lacked that sport-sedan aggressiveness.

I like it too. The low noses were always a little out of place on Benzes anyway.

I think the C-Class is the best-looking out of all the entry luxury sedans. :o)

Me too Suby! Id like a white/tan C300 Sport 6MT with the AMG wheels. Very classy car, too bad the interior doesnt measure up in terms of style.

The only thing styling wise that I do not like are the HUGE turn signal lights built into the outer mirrors and the stupid tristar sticking up above the forementioned tall grillwork.

zoomzoomn, only the C300 Luxury has the star on the hood sticking up. The Sport model like they have has a star in the grille. I also have it on good authority that the 2010 will most likely have altered mirrors, with different indicators.

The C-class is real cool looking in my opinon. The car looks purposeful and muscular.
