The premium offshoot of Toyota is now well established in this country and this third generation IS range has plenty of appeal enough for its European rivals to be worried.

Mercedes is on a bit of a roll, and it all started with the launch of the new S-Class flagship last year. The new C-Class takes more than a few cues from the S-Class. It's bigger, more luxurious, and more hi-tech than ever before.
The new C-Class is 80mm longer between the wheels than the old car and 95mm longer overall, and you really do feel that difference in the back. There's a lot more legroom, and headroom is decent as well.
Mercedes has made a lot of big claims about its new C-Class. It's not only bigger than ever before, but its also set to be the most refined, comfortable and efficient car in its class. If it can deliver on half of those promises, then it will be really impressive, and more than a match for the BMW 3 Series, and new Audi A4.
