In many ways, they've succeeded in shifting perceptions about this car. I would have never seen myself in a C-class. But now, with the introduction of the sport trim, I can. |
If they wanted to redefine the class then this car would be something much closer to a 3er than a more "sporty" C-class. A step in the right direction? Absolutely, and a great car at that, but not a revelation. The 3er still holds the std., the car that will come closest will probably be the new A4, but we have a little more time til then. Remember, MB is luxury, first, always, and forver- Zetsche said it himself at Paris last year.
