We've seen the press photos with the latest Mercedes-Benz C-Class, bathed in the exquisite design details and came close to mocking the model's competitors for their average-looking exteriors and interiors, but it's now time to come back to Earth.
Obviously, when Mercedes-Benz published the first images with the recently-unveiled 2015 C-Class W205 they chose a couple of models which weren't exactly specced with their most basic features.
On the contrary, as evidenced by the 19-inch wheels on the C 250 with the AMG Sport package, the Intelligent Light LED headlights or the leather engulfing the interiors.
Since not every Mercedes-Benz C-Class buyer will have the required moolah for speccing the car to the brim with all the optional features they would desire, we thought it would be interesting to see how the appearance of the car changes if none of the exterior options are clicked.
Fortunately, despite the rather cheap-looking wheel and tire combination and the halogen H7 headlamps, the most basic C-Class W205 you will be able to buy in Europe doesn't actually look that bad, or maybe that's just us.
