This is a bit dated, but I have been looking at the pics of the new C-class for 2008. I actually really like it. The BMW 3-series coupe is better looking but I'm not a big fan of the 3-series sedan.
Looks like the AMG version will come later but expecting 450-475hp - NICE!
Will be interesting to see how the C AMG stacks up against the new M3.
