If we mask its grille, it could be just any Japanese car or even a Hyundai. Why ? because its slim C-pillars do not deliver a solidity feel like Mercedes used to, because the black plastic window frames are more mainstream than unique. On the positive side, the new headlamps are better looking than the previous peanut-shape ones, the clamshell bonnet more stylish, the attention to details are better and the body panels fit more tightly. Overall speaking, W204 is a neat design, if not very Mercedes.And the one that killed my interest in the W204 immediately: But the engines do not live up the standard of the chassis. Mercedes' engine programs always lag behind vehicle programs. That means the new C-class uses the same engines from the last generation. New engines are not expected until its mid-life makeover.Now the C63 AMG in the following story...that's a different ball game...but also a different price class. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /></blockquote>
