Vox Populi. With Eid and the Ganesh festival following one after the other and half the town on vacation why did Mercedes-Benz choose to release the new C-Class on the 1st?. Maybe a world-wide release but before you see the car closeup check out public interest in this new launch. Anyone visiting this mall can walk in to the plastic enclosure and check out the new C-Class if they so wish.

This thread is going great, @nickatnite and other fellow indians. I am really looking forward to the Indian GP pictures from your side, sir.

2012 Mercedes-Benz(India) C-Class. As i've mentioned many a time, this thread is focused on new cars made in India for the Indian auto market. And, this new C-Class is made in India for Indian buyers conforming to ARAI homologation and with India sourced components. As always, you get more than one view from my N95.

The front view. Notice any difference?.

lolz. Here the Union Finance Minister once replied to a question on lobbying by automobile companies to reduce tariffs on import models by asking the automobile companies why they don't reduce prices by bringing in CKDs?. So, they have started reducing prices and have started bringing in CKDs as reported in previous page.

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2011-09-01 20:10:45 +0500 #4469

The new C-Class is priced at 29.79 lakh (C200 CGI) and 32.30 lakh (C250 CDI diesel) ex-showroom, New Delhi.

I thought i'll update this info as i was working late anyways.

The long weekend is here.

So, go watch 'Bodyguard' if you can and hopefully it is playing in theaters in your neck of the woods. Great movie.

I love the Tamil film industry for it's music and below are two new songs that are rocking clubs locally along with the usual English/Techno crap.

luv the island and tamil folk rhythm fusion of this song

Nice pictures! and very love the new Facelifted C-Class man it looks tooo beauty in snow white and the Q7 also very cool and nice only pity is that the rear wiper is broken and Freelander also nice but is overpriced also with CKD it is too high priced Landrover need to price it from 22-24 lakhs onwards than it will sell good

Bombaywalla (Bombaywalla) 2011-09-03 05:01:13 +0500 #4474

^^ I agree. I like how simple it is, but Nick, you've gotta go to the Aer bar - it knocks the living daylight out of any other rooftop bar in the country.

^^Image from google, and sorry for going slightly OT.

The new C class is quite nice, and well-priced too. It has to have a panoramic roof like in your pics, or it's no fun at all!

Dear Nick. I am posting in Ur thread first time. I just fall in love on first sight with Ur posts and thread!!! Great commitment and work. From now onward I will be a regular visitor of Ur thread. Take care and keep it up.

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2011-09-04 13:35:46 +0500 #4476

The new C-Class has two sunroofs and i guess when both are opened it is kinda panoramic. The car looks better in the flesh than in photos.

I've heard from more than one about the Aer Bar and it is a must visit on my impending Bombay trip. I can never seem to get away.

Going off topic - The pics below are from the Hyatt Hotel in Chennai and i love the open flow between where the bar is located, the lounge area and the swimming pool/oasis and rooms all around situated on the 5th floor.

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2011-09-04 13:38:39 +0500 #4477

re: very cool, 'tis nothing compared to the 15th floor bar at the Raintree here in Chennai and i shall take pics next time i visit. The view of the Bay of Bengal is stunning from there. The new C-class has a new nose too.(H)

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2011-09-04 13:45:59 +0500 #4478

I forgot to post these pics earlier. I came across this car at my car wash and the owner will sell it to you for RS6lacs , V6 engine included. Well, that falls within the price range of a car of this vintage in our market.

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2011-09-04 13:59:49 +0500 #4479

Appreciate.

Thanks. I think the Freelander is priced in the 20-22lac range?.

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2011-09-04 14:11:09 +0500 #4480

Whaddya mean by "speechless"?:S

I was on a roadtrip over Fri and Sat and this song kept me going thru the drive. Listen to Ludacris' first Bollywood mix with Speedy Singh.
