2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate Caught Undisguised

Roughly a month before Mercedes-Benz officially unveils the Estate version of the new C-Class at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, South African car magazine “Wheels24” managed to scoop the mid-size SW without any camouflage whatsoever thus fully revealing the exterior shape of the new family orientated Benz. Weirdly enough and in contrast with the sexy C-Class sedan, the Estate’s appearance is once again somewhat uninspired. Maybe Benz designers should have taken a lesson or two from their colleagues in Audi (A4 Avant) and Alfa Romeo (159 SportWagon). -Continued after the jump

Hopefully the 2008 C-Class Estate will compensate its owners for its uninspiring looks with more interior space and practicality. As one would anticipate, the C-Class Estate’s engine range will be identical with the sedan’s, meaning that it will include a top range AMG version fitted with the 457Hp strong naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 unit.
