DETROIT – Mercedes-Benz is getting a lot of positive feedback on it's new midsize 2015 C-Class at the Detroit Auto Show Industry Preview.
The C-Class was Mercedes' most popular model in the U.S. last year, but hasn't had a remodel since 2007.

The new 2015 C-Class has a sleeker, more chiseled look. It has Mercedes' signature sculpted sides, with a longer hood and more elegant proportions. It's slightly longer and wider than the outgoing model.
Increased aluminum on the body panels has helped reduce the car's overall weight by 220 pounds, improving driving dynamics and fuel economy.
Inside the vehicle, a new display shines the car's speed, speed limits, and navigation directions on to the windshield.
The company says the latest improvements make it feel like an upgrade from economy to business class.
The C-Class will be built at a plant in Alabama, making it the first Mercedes sedan built in the United States in a century.
The vehicle goes on sale in the fall, but pricing has not been released.
