All that Class |
|
Mercedes-Benz’s much awaited all-new
fourth-generation C-Class debuts in the Philippines |
|
By Brian Afuang
Backed by 25 years of
commercially and critically successful pedigree, the all-new
fourth-generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class is all grown up but not
grown old, thanks to styling and tech features that’s crisper and
more dynamic than ever. On June 21, CATS Motors Inc., the
Philippines’ official distributor of DaimlerChrysler products,
took the wraps off this latest Mercedes baby to mark its official
debut in the country—ahead of other South East Asian markets at
that.
Already a success even before it
rolled out onto showrooms in Europe, CATS Motors president Felix Ang
said in his introductory speech that they aim to replicate the new
C-Class’s success there and create the same wave of the excitement
here, although he admitted that that would be quite a challenge for
them.
