We could continue to say that the BMW 3 Series is a great driving car and that it's set the benchmark in the premium compact sedan segment for years. But that wouldn't be fair to this car, the new C-Class just unveiled by Mercedes at the Detroit Auto Show.
Compared to the interior of this car, the BMW 3 Series looks like a Honda Civic! Just looking at the acres of spectacular wood trim and aluminum finished buttons, you can't help but wonder how many thousands of hours went into making the perfect interior.
The C-Class has always been a sort of S-Class for the middle management, but this, this is a perfect car all in its own right. That's because Mercedes has thrown all the possible optional goodies into this show car to make it into a flagship that's been bundled up into a smaller package.
While Mercedes is world-famous for its luxury fittings, the new C-Class is also technologically advanced. It's much lighter and significantly more efficient than its predecessor, not to mention safer.
For US customers, the C-Class engine lineup has been simplified and will arrive in showrooms in September.
