There hasn't been a two-door Mercedes-Benz C-Class in the US since that Sportcoupé hatchback that went away in 2005. Now, the two door base Benz is back, and it bodes well for what's to come. Or enjoy it as is. More »

All of us here are big fans of the Mercedes-Benz C63, so the idea of a restyled C-Class for 2012 stomps on our power-of-suggestion center. But hold your horses, gents, we have to check in with the lesser models first. More »

Those darn internets have done it again. The forthcoming Mercedes C-Class refresh has been accidentally and unceremoniously revealed by Mercedes UK's online car configurator. The changes include a tweaked front fascia, new wheels and Porsche-like lower running lights. Gallery below. More »

According to the press release from tuning shop Lorinser, the Mercedes C-Class is "hot" now that they've had their way with it. The tuner apparently used a beefier cam in conjunction with revised engine management to squeeze 33 extra horsepower out of the new Benz, rather than going the turbo route as they did on the Lorinser Smart ForTwo. A lowered suspension tightens up handling and a tuned exhaust combines with exterior badging to let everyone know that you're hot. Check out the "hot" press release below, complete with bonus heat metaphors. More »

Mercedes has announced a new C-Class car with its next-generation four-cylinder diesel mill, uniquely titled "BlueEFFICIENCY." While we're not sure about the name, the specs are certainly impressive: Mercedes claims 204 HP and 369 lb-ft of torque from the 2.2-liter four, while returning a combined 45 MPG and meeting EU5 emissions standards in C-Class Prime form. Mercedes claims the BlueEFFICIENCY engine will replace four separate diesels at the company, and be offered in the E-Class, the new GLK-Class and in a future E‑Class Coupe in addition to the C-Class. More info and full release after the jump. More »

No, that's not Darth Vader. Nope, it's the Brabus Bullit Black Arrow and trust us, it's got more in common with Vader than the Mustang variant with the same name. We showed you the new Brabus-built C-Class first back at the Frankfurt Auto Show a couple months ago, but now the Deutsch tuners of all things Daimler have just revealed that their newest Übermensch-motored Mercedes is now available for purchase in an orgasm of Bruce (don't believe us? Check the press release out yourself). If you remember, the Bullit Black Arrow gets a SV12 S Biturbo twelve-cylinder engine dropped into the engine bay to replace the normal highest-end 6.2-liter V8 engine from the C-Class. That newer, faster, stronger engine gives the Bullit Black Arrow 720 HP (SAE net) and an astonishing 974 lb-ft of torque — and 0-to-186 mph in 24.5 seconds. Oh but wait, we're talking a top speed of 225 MPH. Sounds to us like some automaker wants to make sure that the 556 HP 2009 Cadillac CTS-V doesn't take all the glory from the four-door race for the highest-speed four-door sedan. Full press release after the jump. More »

It wasn't that long ago when you could buy a four-banger C-Class here in the American market, but now with the current lineup, a V6 C-Class is the base model. Of course, fuel economy is all the rage these days. According to the Line that is not Outside, Mercedes is taking that to heart and is considering a supercharged 1.4-liter inline-four engine to serve as the new entry-level offering. The price is expected to be significantly less than the C300's base of $33,040. What we find interesting is Mercedes engineers say the new model must have an exaggerated level of "perceived performance." More »
