Mercedes Interior is #1 but i'd prefer the 4 series to this

It's the shorter wheelbase and overall length in comparison to the S. The S-Class can stretch the car out more for a more sleek silhouette with longer hood and trunk and just a smoother transition from front to back, it's about 15"-20" longer if I am reading the stats right. It not only helps with the overall shape of the roofline but the windows as well which gives the S a bigger look from the outside. Windows looks pillarless in the S too though I don't remember if the rears go down (I think it does?) like on the E-Class while the Cs rear window looks permanent.
 
IDK how these compared to past generations but I've only been in two C classes. One was my cousins and it felt cramped. The other was a loaner I received before b/c they ran out of all the other bigger vehicles and it was eem more cramped. You might want to reconsider Al since you're a big guy, no homes.
 
I think it compares in sized to competition in their class

I always liked smaller cars also for some reason. I mean I like all cars but yea this gen is actually bigger than the last one.
 
Even though this one is 2"-3" longer than it's predecessor, MB has confirmed that the C Coupe will focus more on performance and will sacrifice space for it. Expect to be less comfortable too.
 
This looks extremely good. Mercedes definitely did a good job here.
 
Nah, current gen C-Class coupe starts at about ~$40k? This ones probably going to be in the same range, maybe ~$42k to start.

Even the C63 will likely start at ~$65k, no way it's going to start $15k above an M4 or $18k above an RCF. Maybe the C63S could start at $75k-$80k but that's the top of the line.
 
Hasn't been officially announced but the non-S version will likely go around M4/RCF/ATS-V range ($62k-$65k)
