We are less than a week away from the official reveal of the new Mercedes C-Class. We've been following its development for about a year now, and we're getting ever closer to the still secret elements that make this compact executive car.
Today, we received a new clip from Stuttgart spotter DrGumoLunatic. It's his seventh video of the new C-Class and this time he captured it on a trailer, still wearing some camouflage. It's interior completely in view, we catch a glimpse of its floating infotainment screen and all the shiny metallic trim on this potentially top-spec prototype.
Amusingly, the C-Class sedan prototype shares its trailer with the CLA and a couple of Volkswagen Tiguans. This should be Mercedes' own trailer, so what are a couple of VWs doing up there. Are these family cars for the technical staff or what?
Leaving brand favoritism aside, the compact executive segment has been missing a car like this new C-Class, what with the A4 being so old and BMW not being that good at making true luxury interiors for smaller cars. The C-Class has some really cool features, like seat adjustment controls mounted within reach on the doors rather than down below.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
