The next-generation 2008 C-Class sedan is slightly bigger than its successful predecessor and was made even more agile, comfortable and safe.

The appearance of the new mid-size C-Class reveals the latest Mercedes design idiom that is characterized by the edgy interplay of taut lines with wide and rounded surfaces. The revised suspension and steering of the new C-Class makes it more agile along with a new slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission for the C300 Sport model.
