New C-Class = Sebring?

Is is just me, or does the 2008 C-Class have a striking resemblance to the Sebring?

...especially the front end.

Hmmm... very much so

Edit:

I dunno, some of the lines don't match up between bodies like the doors, hood, ect...

all the new suspension on the newer chryslers are mercedes,look at the ( charger, pacficia, 300m) all same suspension set up as some mercedes, thats just my .02 cents

yeah, the c class adn the sebring are both really ugly. so yeah, i do see the similarities.

The A-pillar matches with the car just some slight alteration.

IMO Mercedes blows; Chrysler was profitable before the merger, now they're planning to ditch Chrysler to the vultures.

Yeah, Chrysler was doing just so awesome before the merger, Mercedes must be bringing them down

I think for the sake of some different sheet metal I can see them using the same unibody.

I think the C Class looks like a Hyundai.

bottom line is most american cars now have gone to junk because they cant keep up with honda and other cheapo jap cars....its sad but true....no american car on the market right now really impresses me except maybe the 300c

I had a Ford fusion rental for a week. That car really impressed me. Except for the gay ass tail lights that car is on the spot and well put together IMO.

You know they have the same interior minus some little details here and there right? Also, from the C or R/T models to the SRT models all that changes really is the seats. Hell for that matter the Magnum is the same too.

300C>Charger>Jeep

I've been in a 300c, drove it around for awhile... god is it nice

Probably the only luxury car i'd ever consider owning.... and it'd be rolling on 24's with a HUGE system, black with 5% tint all the way around, chrome trim, all black leather interior, 8 TV's, air bags.... and darkkk purple accents.

And yes, I'm dead serious.

I really considered looking at one of those before i got the volvo. I really like them, minus the ugly tails, but i wouldve found a solution for those. Plus they come w/ awd on the upgraded ones, its my favorite ford...and i dont much like fords

I was originally the same way, the 300C was the first car I wanted. Until I realized the only people around here that drive them all look like they could be my grandparents.

Plus, after seeing the 300C and Charger R/T side by side my decision was alot easier. I wanted something more aggressive rather then "classy."

Neonix · Post by **Neonix** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 4:06 pm

Been in a Ford Fusion, wasn't impressed. It felt very cheap inside, and I didn't like the feel of the doors when they were closed, just didn't feel very solid.

I love the LX's though. I probably would have gotten a Charger if I hadn't found the Speed.
