[warninshoarmy]

[BollocksTube21]

What a heterosexual voice :P

[RichKilla86ers]

I have to be a FOB Asian or a rich asshole driver to buy this car.

[idk2010ist]

This a good car idc wat none says! I just bought my 15 year old one & he lives it!

[warninshoarmy]

[warninshoarmy]

C350 CGI ; 7,500L/100km in city,7,800L/100km on highway

[giannial1985]

Now this is a nice looking C-Class

[dcourteau]

@mrJustin2678

If you need the convince your parent to get a car it mean it time to move out...

[thembp4sho]

@mrJustin2678 u can get it...it's not that expensive

[mondeost2202008]

Oh how I wish the E class would have the same headlights as this new C class.

And I think this is far better looking than the original (which I though still looked a bit feminine) and its main rivals (3 Series and A4) while the C class coupe is probably the best looking coupe in the competition (even better looking than the E class coupe).

[XxHardcorexxGamerxX]

I actually prefer the design of the previous model...

[guitarb3ast7x]

What? How come it isn't updated on MB's website? All I see is the 2011 c class

[Flowmusic]

This model should been released before the 2011 model :-/

[Automopedia]

Gorgeous, I'll take two please!

[immortal4942]

not as quick at 100mph compared to under 60mph? doh Of course! there is more drag at high speeds!

[warninshoarmy]

@immortal4942 SHOW OFF WITH YOUR BADIES'  SHIT brain GROUP.

[blueaardvark1717]

i cant wait to get mine in may 2012

[mikeyle]

like the new screen inside the speedometer, glad to see some cars are getting rid of the blocky 8 bit numbers. Also glad to see the placement of the screen improved, it was awkward before with the little door in the middle of the car

[sphenct15]

@mikeyle it wasnt awkward if u actually opted for the multimedia package

[computerized01]

"For those interested in triple digit exploits..." lol what an asshole. They are encouraging people to break the law.

[Evo10Rocks]

@computerized01 -___-

[lexusES350h]

The color...

[michalmr2]

ITS 2011 BECOUSE WE GET IT WITIN 1 MONT SO CALLING IT 2012 IS TOTAL BULL SHIT!!!

[takesonetokillall]

@michalmr2 Somebody doesn't know how model years work...

[michalmr2]

@takesonetokillall

it desnt make any sence. You go to dealership buy car in middle of 2011 and then you callin git 2012?

[takesonetokillall]

@michalmr2 Look up "model year", and hopefully, you'll get it.

[HisROYALbadnes]

3 series much?

[INeverDie99]

why does the front bumper look like a 2010 bmw 3 series?

[redphiveII]

it was good looking but mid cycle upgrade made i look bad.

[casinotriple]

1.8L turbo four cylinder... weak sauce! 

[kikez619]

UGLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[MrKristianp]

Audi all the way.

[GETTINYEYOBUCKS]

ILL RUB MY NUTSACK ALL OVER THIS POOR MANS BENZ. THIS IS FOR MEN WHO WANNA TELL A CHICK YEA I OWN A BENZ ... BUT WHEN SHE SAYS LET ME DRIVE SHE OWNS A E-CLASS THAT EQUALS GETTING SHITTED ON !!!

[sphenct15]

@GETTINYEYOBUCKS wtf do u drive then?!?!?!?!

[Sigrafix]

I don't like where Mercedes is going with their new design elements.. seems to be going backward instead of forwards with all it's "boxyness."

Curves are the future!

Still tho, nice car.

[churro9623]

I like the sport version better...

[MrHarlemworld]

bmw fan here,and this car is nasty ugly!

[JLchevz]

BMW fan here:  this car is awesome.

[chookbi]

benz <3

[randomdaz]

its trying to be an audi a6

[saboobuu]

did they take out the fabric on the lower half of the doors? that was a huge-ass turnoff

[stwartfan123]

I don't know what everyone is talking about ugly...I prefer BMWs, but this car looks great to me!

[saboobuu]

@stwartfan123 i dont know what YOURE talking about, the front of the luxury car is really bulgy and ugly

[stwartfan123]

@saboobuu hmm, well I think it looks sophisticated and aggressive,

[sirmasdimitris]

what a pitty so good car and so ugly!!!

[artfulfox]

i dont think it's ugly as much as it is really bland looking

[datpimpinboy]

looks gorgeous if you ask me

[IDannyxss]

Looks good :)

[arashn89]

@motortrend i think this video should say 2012 motor trend, their is no 302HP engine available on any mercedes model in U.S or Canada the new engines will be available as of 2012 for the 2012 model year not 2011.....

[MarineUSA93]

Is it just me... Or does it look almost like a Hyundai?

[clinton252]

@MarineUSA93 No my friend, Hyundai is the one that been trying to look like other luxury cars to improve it image(Known for some of the ugliest and unreliable cars). That is something that should not be confused especially when you are talking about Mercedes here.=)

...its not that i really have anything against Hyundai's.=)

[rforracing]

There was no need to change the headlights and interior. It looked better before.

[DownhillDestination]

@rforracing fuck you. the interior looks way better.  defiantly a class leading car now

[tfran1994]

@rforracing The consumer said otherwise.

[zipobob1]

they should have changed the back side,the front was ok before

[afyaff]

pre-2011 looks better, both ext and interior wise. This steering wheel looks cooler, but the old one seems more comfortable.

[superravmanrampage]

@afyaff Are you crazy man!? 2011MY is way better!

[glassscrean]

@superravmanrampage i was thinking about getting the 2012.. why do you think the 2011 is better?

[superravmanrampage]

@afyaff I have an 08 320I haha. But I prefer the updated E90, the steering wheel is much better and the rear tail light design in awesome :L

[superravmanrampage]

@afyaff wait. were you talking about the benz or bmw? in which case, again I think the 2011 C class is much better than the previous. You should get the 2012 model anyway, whether it be the Benz or BMW or maybe even Audi. German quality either way, Win-Win

[superravmanrampage]

@afyaff The new steering wheel looks sexy!

[tim3058]

ugly

[Toxxic88]

I like the looks of my 2010 c-class better. I don't know why they took the sexy "eyelid" lights away... they look sexy

[05front]

the dash copies BMWs style.

[Mrsolowing0582]

Looks like my Accord coupe.

[auxx0016]

The "Luxury Sedan Grille" makes the car look like it's from the late 90's. It's utterly hideous definitely need the Sport Grille.

[TJPewter]

THE 1st GENERATION W204 WAS MUCH BETTER! X(

[goofeewalden1]

I didn't think I'd ever find a Mercedes ugly again.That exterior is a step back.

[swazimilk]

BMW 3 series headlights!

[hevvye]

the rims are just horrible

[lbryan250]

I just never get tired of the RS5's V8 sound at the start of their vids

[julingy]

@lbryan250 speaking of, i think it would be cool if they switched up the revs sounds for each video! wouldnt be that hard with todays tech

[fidgetingfinch]

I like the grille, but everything else is terrible.

[mitchybaby57]

looks like a 1998

[Ironscimitar]

The front end comes off as MB trying to hard to look edgy.

[Corveette]

YIKES

[Chap84]

headlights look like Hyundai Eqquus, like my original 08 c-class

[datpimpinboy]

looks gorgeous if u ask me

[AwesomeAlvin]

I love Merc's and I hate to say this but the headlights are yelling Suzuki Kizashi

[legr8est1234]

The grille reminds me of the Hyundai Genesis.

[fridaynightmares]

the interior is seeexy !! very beautiful re-designed

[paulvu66]

it's Fugly! bimmer will sell more 3s. plus it's made in Alabama, yeah. gud luk!

[magus2511]

ugly was ugly wil be forever :D

[1bentley4ever]

The lower air dam on the front of the luxury model looks like it came off the 2009- current facelifted BMW 3-series, and do does the shape of the headlight housings. It would have been smaller to make it look more like a baby S-class in front than a 3-series with a chrome nose.

[radudeATL]

I don't need any forgiveness, because the exterior looks the same to me.

[onoitsaWRX]

Looks cheapened. Way to ruin a good thing Mercedes!

[neckojezioro123]

the "sport" front with 3 horizontal bars is UGLY

[joelchils]

i think its less-ugly then the last cuple years lol

[madant1977]

Is it just me or does this one look somewhat cheap in some details than it should? Maybe it's the video picture or the US version is different...

[RicardoDavid96]

a significative change mercedes benz.

[Nequetrefi11]

I would save as much as it was needed and get an E-class :)

[Rafagafanhotobra]

Here's your completely new look

new aerodynamics

new interior

new handling and engine...

Thanks for buying your BMW 3 series, have fun!

[Supish16]

title is wrong, it should be 2012

[etlamphil]

sleek

[davewhodavedunn]

hyundai does a better flowing design interior than this benz...bmz mercedes always have this squared off plain look interiors...its ashame.

[supremewhip]

Video quality is horrible

[clclclclcl90]

I liked the old front more than this ones

[juschill7]

It has grandpa or should i say opa written all over it.. dud....

[CJAEY]

I honestly don't think it's that bad. Shit Id drive it, im assuming most people here would rather have a Camry or Accord LOL

[Nequetrefi11]

@CJAEY straight up

[radar3699]

holy jeez the unsport version is so ugly...... the rims are WWWAAAAYYY to smalll and the grill is to small and flat

[jschmitz23]

That grille is ugly, the rims are small too. They should just make them all look like the sport.

[dirtykkkoon]

nice small rims

[blazzing4321]

uggggggggglyyyyyyyy overpriceddddddddd german trashhhhh

[sdlausen]

Ahhh... can't wait to see the neighborhood trophy wives driving around in this mundane atrocity.

[undeadkillers]

@sdlausen Which will get abused, hardly get fluid changes, ect..

[atireiopauao]

fail...



[BarometreFaso]

What is CAR...!!! Better might be only Aston.

[AudiABTr8]

For MY money, I'd get the C250 Sport. With unlimited cash, C63! What else?

[beleafer22]

@AudiABTr8

With unlimited cash, I wouldn't be driving a Mercedes-Benz. HELLO PAGANI ZONDA!

[AudiABTr8]

@beleafer22 Good point...

[gruhonjic]

Everytime Mercedes refreshes the line-up, people call the cars ugly...

[resomer]

@gruhonjic true

[geforce5700fx]

Not ugly, but i prefer the older one.

[WTFGUY956]

meh

[T966ER]

I'd much prefer the sport but the regular model looks just fine. It's the entry level Mercedes, it's not supposed to be drop dead gorgeous.

[datpimpinboy]

WTF!!! How are people saying this car is ugly? Tell me what's ugly about it? it's sharp, agressive, and elegant. The interior looks incredibly well equipped and well built. It's fast and fun to drive. I dont see how this car is "ugly"... Oh let me guess, BMW fans watching a mercedes video?

[diablowrathltd]

@datpimpinboy Dude, chill out. everyone has their own opinions. not everything you like everyone else will like

[datpimpinboy]

@diablowrathltd and no ones asked for your opinion. I think I am entitled to say whatever I want too just like everyone else.

[diablowrathltd]

@datpimpinboy Lol wat i said is not an opinion, its a fact. u r entitled to say w.e u want, so is everyone else. and as far as i kno, no one asked for u opinion on this car.

[datpimpinboy]

@diablowrathltd Well clearly Im subscribed to motrotrend, therefore Im perfectly allowed to comment on their videos dumbass.

[diablowrathltd]

@datpimpinboy lol. who cares whose subscribed to who. either way you can comment, anyone can. im subscribed to, wats your point. and i never said you cant comment.

[datpimpinboy]

@diablowrathltd alright

[XenoRacing]

@datpimpinboy Sports package appeals to more of the boy racer whereas the non sport package looks like the older models with a more stylish redesign but most people now adays don't like those old boxey mercs. To each their own, everyone has bad taste at one time or another. P:

[datpimpinboy]

@XenoRacing Yup true. I mean, I agree, Mercedes could do A LOT better with their designs, given they are such a big and famos, and not forget prestigeous brand; but still this car is not ugly. Maybe it isnt drop dead gorgeous, but its Merc's entry level car and it isnt supposed to anyway

[datpimpinboy]

Now this is a car worth having the Mercedes-Benz name on it!!

[m3trooper]

New cars are becoming so generic, boring, and vanilla looking! Car Makers have become lazy, and basically design ONE car in different sizes.

[cody12345249]

Mercades, that looks Ugly? What is the world coming too?!

[lffit]

boring!

[asdxxme]

l00x like ass

[ClayAbernathy]

the nonsport didnt look that good but just changing the bumper, wheels, and paint makes the sport look pretty nice

[plagick]

the huge star says hey I leased this huge star. By the way did you see I am driving a mercedes?

[bigbuggaman]

headlamps look like a suzuki kizashi

[seomoz]

bullshit marketing. thats what this is

[eskil1u]

looks like the chevy cruze

[plagick]

the ass is so old already

[plagick]

Ugly

Looks like all the rest. 

[MikelMalouda]

Nice design from Mercedez

[phillipquaz]

ugly

[1ightweightSukka]

Who F*ing cares if the engine doesn't feel as strong over 90mph?? I would get arrested and put up with Charlie Sheen for going that fast.

[jzaga053]

Wheels are fuglyyy.

[z28kindaguy]

ugly 

[Spooie]

UGLY?!?! I think this is the nicest looking benz that a regular person can get

[z28kindaguy]

@Spooie Look at the competition though. Audi, BMW, even some of the new domestics such as Buick LaCrosse looks 10x better than this garbage. Sorry.

[Spooie]

@z28kindaguy i just don't think any of those cars look gangster lol.

if u have a benz you don't have it in orange. You have it in black or silver with tinted windows

[Meemperor]

The non sport/AMG front is U-G-L-Y

[ratmtbola]

@Meemperor True. But it's kinda weird how a small sport package can convert an ugly car into a pretty good looking car lol.

[austinandrew11]

@Meemperor That's only on one's with the luxury package.

[90Mrknowitall]

damn that 1.8 has more torque than my 3.5 liter impala LOL

[YasharWTF]

@90Mrknowitall i didnt know impalas had 3.5 liters?? did you mean caprese? dont lie lol :P

[90Mrknowitall]

@YasharWTF no i mean 3.5 its an 08 impala LT that came with 3.5 v6 and 3.9 v6 look it up

[YasharWTF]

@90Mrknowitall ohhh lol i as thinking bout the old impalas, i feel dumb ahaha

[90Mrknowitall]

@YasharWTF haha its all good

[kANDzInS]

5th

[okbk96]

im the fifth one to like this vid woooooow!

[lilPhil15]

nice c-class but i'd pick the e-class over this any day.

[DackIsBack]

FOURTH!

[Sandst0rm34]

@DackIsBack fail

[Toxxic88]

So is this 2012 or 2011 i'm confused

[lfsracer79]

@Toxxic88

It's 2012 because in the US they always add one year to the model year.

[T67GS300]

Firs...... oh Im not gay.

[avolox2]

Now people can't write "first"...
