2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It seems like the compact segment is becoming more and more lucrative for automakers. Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Ernst Lieb says that a new family of compact vehicles and fuel-efficient drivetrains of its C-Class sedan are expected to drive a 30 percent sales jump within the next 5-years.<\/p>\n

“The potential is there,” said Lieb. “Even if the market doesn’t grow by a huge rate and stays at 13 or 14 million, the majority of these buyers will be in that lower segment.”<\/p>\n

The German automaker plans on kicking of its compact segment lineup in 2013 with the next-generation B-Class. Three vehicles will be based on the model including a coupe, crossover and sedan.<\/p>\n

The redesigned C-Class will see a coupe variant later this year and Lieb says Mercedes-Benz will also add a convertible version. That will give Mercedes-Benz the ability to compete with the BMW 3-Series sedan, coupe and convertible. Lieb said Mercedes will have “an opportunity to meet our competitors at their own game.”<\/p>\n

The next-generation C-Class will also be available with 4-cylinder engines. Honestly, we could care less about 4-cylinder versions and would love to see a C 63 AMG coupe.<\/p>\n
