Five-Point Inspection: 2015 Mercedes-Benz C400 4Matic

2. Melted Bodystyle

Mercedes’ latest design language is one of amalgamation. Every sedan starting with the CLA250 – let’s cut the nonsense, it’s a sedan – all the way up to the vaunted S-Class look like little more than shrunken or expanded versions of the same vehicle. Now more than ever, the company seems to be encouraging its patrons to think of themselves as “Mercedes owners” rather than someone who drives a C-Class.

That’s good news for anyone looking at leasing or buying something at the lower end of the MB product line.
