According to a posting on the eMercedesBenz blog:

They established from the get-go, that they look photoshopped.

Haha, C class owners in their mid-50's, don't see that on this forum, many are in their 20's or younger. At least I can keep my car for several more years and match the demographic. It's very good to see that the new C-class exudes something

There are new pics revealing a portion of the front close up. It's remarkable how similar the headlights are to the new Toyota Rav4. Doesn't matter to me, I like the new Rav4 styling.

the car is ugly man, looks too much like S class and the CLS, but it took me a while to loke the CLS, itll grow on me, i know it

Not bad. I don't think the C Class should have the star right in the grille though, that's more performancy, they should keep the hood star and do away with the one in the grille...

Edit: Oops, just read this:

Significantly, Mercedes-Benz plans to offer the car with the choice of two distinctly different front-end appearances: standard versions will retain the company’s classic chromed grille and three-pointed star mounted atop the leading edge of the hood; alternatively, Mercedes will offer a special Sports model carrying a treatment similar to that used on the CLK, with an oversized three-pointed star integrated into a racier grille.

I think the headlights make it look too much like a Toyota and not enough like a Benz. Not a big fan so far, but maybe it'll grow on me.

I hope they don't - the oversized Star grille has always been used to denote the
Coupes...

The W204 is looking a bit Lexus to me, but then i think MB are conscious to move
away from the "four-eyes" look that appeared on the W203.
I liked the CLS from day one, and still think it's one of the bravest new designs out there. I can't say the same about the W204 though - pure bland fleet-car...

to me it looks just like the new VW Jetta 5
I dont like it. Even the weels looks just like VW, ??

Got my c200k just a month ago and I love it. This just doesnt do it for me?
