After showing us they can design premium compact cars that grab your attention by the suspension struts, we really won't be that surprised to see them create a true BMW 3 Series fighter out of the next C-Class.
Codenamed the W205, the sedan model will be first to come out, followed by a coupe and soon after the first C-Cabrio ever. The spiritual successor to the CLK-Class Cabrio will sport the A205 codename and is expected to be revealed next year.

Even before that, our spy photographers have captured these images of the next C-Cabrio undergoing testing in Germany.

Despite the heady camo, we can still make out some of the details on the car. Just like the A-Class, the grille is absolutely huge and will probably have one of the biggest automotive emblems out there, held in place by a couple of distinctive bars.

The engine range for the C-Cabrio will almost certainly be made up of turbo engines, with the exception maybe of the C350's 3.5-liter V6. There should also be an AMG model further down the line, powered by a twin-turbo V8, but most buyers will be perfectly happy with something like a 1.8-liter diesel with DCT.

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.
