Mercedes has finally revealed the pricing for the all new C-Class. The price has really surprised everyone, as the based model costs less than the outgoing model by more than $2000.

The price starts at $31,975 for the new C300 Sport Sedan (228 hp, 221 lb-ft. of torque). For the C300 Luxury Sedan (228 hp, 221 lb-ft. of torque) it will be $33,675, and lastly the C350 Sport Sedan (268 hp, 258 lb-ft. of torque) will cost $37,275.

A bargain if you ask me, at least for the base model.
