That car looks kinda like a cl. I'm not sure you can really tell from the picture but it seems that the car only has two doors, maybe it's not the C-class.

hmm.. i agree, the rear does look very similar to the cl.

could this be a glimpse into the redesign of the clk? would make sense, as the current clk-class design is starting to show it's age.

"I never ever liked the C class since it's inception. I much preferred having a 190E and then a 300E, that was a better formula in my opinion."

please elaborate.

i think the 190e and 300e were great, but i also thought the c-class was a proper evolution of the 190e. if there was one styling i didn't prefer, it was the oval-light styling that arrive stateside in the e-class for 1996.

to get a manual 190e you will likely be purchasing the 85-87 cosworth 16v. although all 190e's had the stick shift as the basic transmission, i think i've only ever seen 2 or 3 (non-16v).

good luck with your search. you may be better off finding an automatic 190e with a blown tranny, but a good body and engine, and instaling a stick shift.

that 2.6 liter i-6 has plenty of torque for that size car. enjoy

There was a recent photo shoot of the new c class in South Africa so this makes sense...

The RS4 probably wins. more performance, handling and looks better than the C55. I never really liked how the current C class looked. Hopefully they can make it look more sporty or aggressive.

German cars are good cars, but all of there models are the same but in different sizes, small, medium and large. Does each company have one designer?

I really like this! They're making it very CL-esque, as others have said, and the CL is stunningly beautiful.

I hope more of their products look this good.

The question that remains: how does it perform?

The tail lights look like the SLK's lights. Not too nice from these pictures.
