2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Price Range: $34,475 - $40,625

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class models are the entry-level for the brand. In particular, the Sport trims compete directly with the BMW 3-Series and Infiniti G35. Luxury trims come with a more traditional appearance, with a chrome grille and the Mercedes' 3-pointed-star hood ornament. Sport trims feature a more-prominent grille-mounted Mercedes star and AMG body-styling. The Sport trims also feature deeper front and rear aprons, under-door rocker panels, 17-inch twin-spoke wheels, firmer suspension, three-spoke steering wheels and titanium colored instrument panels. Each sport model also gets unique trim and wheels to fit. The 2010 C63 AMG still stands out as one of the fastest high-performance vehicles available in the United States. Simultaneously, the entry-level C300 carries an affordable MSRP at $33,600.
