Speaking of looking good...
Only a few images leaked out but they look impressive, interior IMO looks stunning. A lot of unanswered questions on engine, trans, weight, etc., but this has my attention (never would have said that about a Merc before.)

I think as power continue to increase north of 500+ hp, it just makes more sense to have AWD and this BMW sacrilegiousness will fall by the wayside as well. I'm not sure there's anything sacrilegious at BMW anymore. As a Canadian resident, it may make more sense to get AWD as a better year-round car. And if the AWD weight penalty is not that great (as has been reported by MB), all the better. |

new leaked images of the exterior and interior:
http://jalopnik.com/2015-mercedes-c-...-it-1453964082 http://www.autoblog.com/2013/10/29/2...s-images-leak/ Love the interior and grill (the version on jalopnik). Guessing that may be AMG version? Starting to make me re-think my F80 order....but doesn't seem as aggressive and sporty as the M3. AWD and 450+hp are always nice though |

There are some European leaks on the MB forums that indicate that the C55 (which is what it might be called, even though it is a 4.0 liter V8) will use a DCT transmission from ZF which is the same place BMW gets their 7-speed.
No question the power will be there as the 4.0 liter V8 is actually just two of the CLA45's engines (2 liter, 4cyl) "fused" together. Remember, the CLA45 makes 355hp/332ft/lb....just with 2 liters! Now I am sure we won't see double that output but is there any doubt this car will not make significantly more power than the 3.0 turbo 6 in the M3? There is no replacement for displacement....especially for displacement used so efficiently as the CLA45. 2 liter making 355hp?! |
