Raised C Class Estate.. AMG sport pack should make it look proper

Ooh, purdy.

Sadly it's likely not going to be as much of a 4x4 like the GLK was.

 

[Purply]

Really love the look of the GLA and GLC, pity they cost so much

Looks good. Still really don't like that popped on display, though. Rest of the interior looks great.

Initially I didn't like the "iPad mini" stuck on the display 1st with the B-Class; then A-Class; then f/lift CLS; then all other models but now I'm used to it. Think it "works" actually.

My mom loves this, but can't decide if she prefers it over the W205 C Class. She wants to trade in her W204.

 

[FiestaST]

Of course the W205 & GLC are quality vehicles....

I guess the deciding point/factor would be space & image

 

[Messugga]

Very nice. Might consider it for my next car.

I'm losing track of the models merc have in their lineup

 

[Drifter]

Expensive.

It's easy really.

The GLC is based on the C-Class
The GLE is based on, guess what, the E-Class

 

[USZA]

I saw on at lunch time

I meant to say there are so many different models in the line up now

Not really hey. They've cut the range of models in almost all their classes. What the do offer, is a host of configurations, and that is what is making it look as if there's a whole lot of different models.

You mean the range within say the a class? Yes that I agree with.

Before it was a class, c class, e class and s class in their "Sedan" line up (like 1 series, 3, 5 and 7 for bmw)

Now they doing the segmentation amongst their suv line. The truth in the end there is just allot more choice for consumers

 

[FiestaST]

I agree with Adamr on this topic as well. Let's just hope a certain other party does not join this thread...

I love the fact that they're giving the consumer more choice now because, in the past, everything of theirs was just big. But, I also dislike the fact that they've downgraded the engines on their C-class sedans to all 4-cylinder models; only performance coupes available in V8 turbo config. They also seem to have done away with the C350 CDi, which I considered their only decent diesel performance model.
