Mercedes-Benz has been testing the new C-Class all year, and it looks like the covers are ready to come off. This executive sedan has just been spotted testing with minimal camo and production paint, which usually indicates the official debut is imminent. 4 photos
During a normal year, we d be talking about the Detroit Auto Show and how the 2022 C-Class looks likely to debut there. But motor shows are dropping in popularity, and we obviously can t all gather together in the tens of thousands right now.
So, instead, Mercedes will probably do a web debut in Germany next month. The European models will be shown first, likely all equipped with mild-hybrid or plug-in engines. By next summer (the 2022 model year), we should also have this sedan in American dealerships, ready to go head-to-head with the BMW 3 Series and the refreshed Genesis G70.

The Mustang was unveiled on April 17, 1964, and in its first year, you could get it with an inline-six, or with V8 engines that went as high as 271 horsepower. But Ford’s marketers thought there should be even more for enthusiasts and so they went to Carroll Shelby, who put his indelible stamp on the car.
