New Mercedes C Class looks pretty damn impressive > http://www.caradvice.com.au/274301/2014-mercedes-benz-c-class-review/

The interior really impressed me for this price range too:

Love it, looks like a mini s class from the outside. The only think i dislike is the growing trend of 'ipad' like displays, why can't they have it integrated back into the dash like they did 5 years ago.

Given starting price is $60k... it's not outlandishly expensive on the pricing spectrum.

Agreed. I don't know why MB did this with A/B class as well- I feel that my integrated screen in my C class looks good. I guess it's to show it's a thin LCD and not a huge CRT like the older cars.

I think Benz are doing this on purpose now where they make the non-AMG kitted versions look a lot curvier/pleasing to common people, but then have an AMG kit version which is more aggressive.

The new Liberty's with premium interior look pretty similar. Except the centre console looks pretty different (this is where the C class did better I'm afraid).

Source: Driven one plentiful times.

But yeah, if you ever go in a premium Liberty, it has so much space inside. Its actually a bit bigger than the Outback wagons from the early 2000's and late 90's which I find pretty impressive for a saloon/sedan in size. Even has good boot space.

My whole point of this is that its kinda understandable why it could be at $60k with similar cars coming close to it at about $50-60k.

Not saying that the C class is worse, or better or the same as I have no idea what they are like in comparison to a Liberty, but the Japanese are getting competitive now on the saloon/sedan front.

I'm sure you'll both like the Tesla Model S then.

Am I the only one who thinks the front end looks like a sloth?

New 3 series aren't exactly good looking either.

Depends if it looks like your mum's car or yours IMO. I've seen some nicely modded ones. Alternatively just getting in matte black might do the trick

As for the Tesla, it does sound juicy but it's all just a bit too unknown for me in terms of long term, resale/residual, etc... Given the number of 'new brands' which have been introduced and failed in Australia due to lack of take up in recent years, I'd rather stick with tried and tested for now. Does look good though.

M3/M4 is nice, the rest are fairly dull and all of them sound like shit.

I actually saw a Tesla at Surry Hills about 2 months ago, it looks really good imo. Photo is terrible quality but that was a combination of my phone and needing to massively reduce the file size to fit on BoS...

Think I saw one in Alexandria recently, may have been an XF Jag though as I only got a glimpse. But I know someone who definitely did see a Model S on that same road before.

Saw a Tesla Roadster there before too.
