Again, that's your opinion. Some may think it has very masculine lines, while the F30 has feminine lines. We all have different tastes.


Me, I think the W205 obliterates the F30 in every single regard in the design department. BMW dropped the ball when they decided connecting the kidney grilles to the lights was a good idea. The rear end is flat, and the shape of the rear lights look like bug-eyes.

Different strokes for different folks.

Why hang around the MB-related threads then? I don't think you're going to talk anyone out of their opinion man.

Or at least say something nice about Benzes once in a while haha.

In all seriousness, if you saw those two in person, side by side, you'd see that there are of plenty of differences. Naturally, one is able to distinguish different models within a brand if he/she pays more attention to that brand. With my eyes, I'm never going to mistake an E-Class for a C-Class or vice versa.

I've had two F30 M Sport 335i sedans. IMO, the M Sport Line option is a must on the F30. It is very aggressive. The Sport Line cars look nice too, but to my eyes, there isn't really anything exciting or special about this. It's kind of bland:



I personally love the styling on the new C-Class. It is similar to the E in some respects but that's not a bad thing because I also love the look of my E550.

I like some MCBs. I would buy a CLS AMG over a M6 GC for looks. I think it's one of the best looking cars out there. Just making a observation that the new C does look a lot like a E. The E to me is meh.

I agree. The CLS (particularly the CLS63) is one of MB's best looking cars right now. MB kind of paved the way for the 4-door "coupe."

I was close to a CLS550 but the rear headroom was lacking.

If I lived somewhere warm and was forced to have just one car, it would be the M6 Gran Coupe.
