Mercedes-Benz has its customers pretty much covered in terms of style with a front-wheel drive four-door coupe now. We're talking about the CLA, which is actually a little bit bigger than the current C-Class.
But, however good that car may be, it's not a real compact luxury car. This is! It's the all-new generation of C-Class four-door, which we've been following for a while now.

Thanks to our dedicated spy photographers, we are able to show you for the first time a partially uncamouflaged production car. Realizing they were being watched, the German engineers quickly covered the side of the prototype back up, but not before we were able to see it.

This is a completely new design direction for Mercedes, as they've replaced strong, short lines with organic creases. The white paint look frozen, definitely something that will get you noticed.

The new C-Class will probably come with a host of customization options for those people wanting to stand out. As far as the engines are concerned, most are already familiar, with the possible exception of the new twin-turbo V6 offered in the upcoming C400. This will offer 333 hp, and we don't thing the similarities with the Audi S4 are coincidental. The new C63 AMG will also get a new engine, a 4.0-liter V8 with twin turbos.

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.
