\"ShowRoomandTell\"<\/p>\n

We are in the throes of 2015 models arriving at our dealerships, and one model we especially appreciate is the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class. As the brand\u2019s most popular class (besides the upper class, ha ha), most times you see a Mercedes-Benz on the road or parked somewhere, odds are that it\u2019s a C-Class. That much visibility has spurred the automaker to give its flagship a revamp inside and out. This manifested itself in two ways: 1) Creating the CLA class so that it could become the entry-level model, and 2) Giving the C-Class the S-Class\u2019s design language.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been lucky enough to already receive the 2015 C-Class at Mercedes-Benz of Cary, and Leith, Inc. Authorized Mercedes-Benz Sales and Service. Over the past couple of days, we\u2019ve been checking out its finer points and will be getting some test drive reviews up on those respective dealerships\u2019 blogs pretty soon. In the meantime, we thought that we would take a moment to encourage you to see the new C-Class for yourself.<\/p>\n

The body of the C-Class is nice, essentially a mini-me version of the S-Class. Stately, poised, slightly Napoleanesque: these adjectives do more than describe our cat, Filbert. Mercedes-Benz doesn\u2019t want to hear any sneering from auto bloggers about \u201ccompromised standards\u201d or \u201cfrankly uninspiring,\u201d so the level of detail that went into the C-Class\u2019s body is exquisite. And honestly, that\u2019s one of our favorite ways to characterize a body.<\/p>\n

Another huge bump to the C-Class is its standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive. Despite possessing a name that makes us feel like we\u2019re being shouted at, Mercedes-Benz\u2019s all-wheel drive is a lot of fun because it allows you to drive faster without losing your grip on the road. Having imbibed a lot of movies in our lifetime like any red-blooded American, we\u2019ve got this idea in our head that going fast is fun. Truth be told, it is.<\/p>\n

With standard LED headlights, the new C-Class broadcasts to anyone in Raleigh or Cary that you\u2019re travelling with style and grace, to borrow a phrase from Biggie Smalls. LEDs last longer and shine brighter than standard halogen bulbs, without bringing the blinding whiteness of xenon bulbs. They\u2019re what all the cool cars are wearing these days, so they\u2019re a quick way to communicate that your car is both modern and eco-friendly.<\/p>\n

Stop by the aforementioned stores to test drive the 2015 C-Class, particularly if you live in any area towns like Apex, Morrisville, Wake Forest or Durham. We wouldn\u2019t want y\u2019all to feel like you\u2019re not included.<\/p>\n
