If you can believe Wiki

It’s built in:

Bremen, Germany
Sindelfingen, Germany
East London, South Africa
6th of October City, Egypt
Juiz de Fora, Brazil
Pekan, Malaysia
Bogor, Indonesia
Pune, India
Beijing, China

And of cause the AMG variety is built in Affalterbach, Germany



And I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more of that Porsche in the background.

That's just gorgeous, would own. What's with the black glass roof? Some kind of new sunroof?

Gorgeous. They'd look even better with the Elegance-spec grille with the traditional three pointed star on the bonnet. I don't like this trend of having the coupe grille attached to sedans. I prefer this look:



If I were rich enough to afford a Benz (probably not ever), I'd definitely consider it.

I actually think itlooks average and very soft compared to the past two updates. The language suits the larger sedans imo. This and that mental small sedan look awkward.

The front looks okay-ish but the rear is terrible IMO.

Unless the AMG is more sharp, the styling is too soft like Polyal said. Now the rear looks like a bubble butt.

The C class needs to maintain sharp lines rather than curved ones, but it's already looking like they're happy with it.

Looks like I'll stick to the 2013 and less C class.

Tail lights are terrible. They look like the ones on the A class.
