Tenerife, Spain. When you take a quick look at the 2012 C-Class, it would be very easy to say that only the rouge and lipstick had been changed.

In between and underneath the front and back, components such as the hood, front fenders and door modules have been replaced with aluminum to reduce weight and improve fuel economy.
