Update on the next-generation C-Class

So yeah, the next C-Class will come in both coupe and convertible variants. In the gallery below, you’ll even get to peek at its interior. But how will the next C-Class Coupe fare against the two-door E-Class. Since the E-Class similarly is based on the current C-Class platform, it’ll be fun to see which of the two will be larger and performance-wise, which will be a lot more tempting to drive.

A lot of questions are hanging on these two vehicle lineups, questions which will hopefully get some answers from the up-and-coming Paris Motor Show in France. Surely, you guys are wondering what the price tag will be and how much they will differ for the different C-Class variants, namely the Coupe, Cabrio and Sedan. A bigger question it seems is whether the Coupe will be sharing platforms with the Sedan.

Oh well, perhaps only time will tell. One thing’s for sure, though—everyone, including us, is waiting for word on whether there will be a C63 Coupe. That, we got to see. As far as AMG is concerned, they’ve never actually let their loyal clients down, whatever new model rolls out of Mercedes-Benz’s production lines.

EXCLUSIVE: 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabrio ad leaked

We’ve seen many spy shots and computer renderings over the last few months, but this is one of the first we’ve seen an official ad of the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabrio. As you can see, the car looks very much like the new Coupe, which in my opinion is good thing, as the new Coupe looks and feels amazing. The new Cabrio will be about 10 cm longer than the current CLK Cabrio – what remains the same though, is the traditional folding soft top.

The engine lineup should stay the same as with the Coupe, which means 4, 6 and 8-cylinder engines with outputs of 150kW/200hp to 285kW/382hp. The top end model will be the E500 (or E550 for the US). If everything works out, we might even see an AMG version in the next few years.

A huge Thank You goes to our very own ‘Insider’. This is an awesome Christmas Gift !!!

MotorAuthority has posted some great computer illustrations of what should be the next E-Class Cabrio (aka Convertible). While the E-Class Sedan and even the Coupe will be unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show in March, followed by a release in middle of 2009 sometime, the Cabrio will be release a year later in 2010.

It’s said that just like the E-Class Sedan, the Cabrio will be heavily based on the ConceptFASCINATION that we saw at the Paris Auto Show. The car will be 10cm longer than its predecessor as well as have a new folding hard top.

Engines wil include the new 272hp (203kW) 3.5L V6 engine as well as Mercedes’ 5.5L V8. There is no doubt that AMG will equip it with one of their 6.2 V8 with 481hp.
