Oppose these are two different cars and wikipedia has not to second-guess the car manufacturer. In addition a second generation CLC-Class, code named C117, completely different from the C-Class, since it will be based on the platform of the B-Class, is expected to be presented on April 20 in LA.

By the design of Wikipedia's software, an article can have only one title. For automobiles, alternative names often exist and these should be mentioned in the lead sectionof the article, or the relevant section if applicable only to one generation/version. Indeed, alternative names can be used in article text in contexts where they are more appropr...
Articles shall utilize boldface markup for the first occurrence of the model name(s) within the first paragraph of articles. For example, '''Ford Mondeo''' displays as Ford Mondeo. This is in accordance with WP:BOLDTITLE. 1. We do not embed links in these names, such as Ford Mondeo. Instead, we link to the appropriate manufacturer or division in th...
Defer to the terms used by the manufacturer when using terms that might appear improperly spelled or used. For example, Ferrari full convertibles are "spiders", not "spyders", Porsche 550 convertibles are "spyders", not "spiders", BMW xDrive is "xDrive", not "XDrive", and Mazda's Wankel enginesare "rotary engines".
The Automobiles Project uses the same default tense as the MOS guideline, "write articles in the present tense, including those covering products or works that have been discontinued". E.g. "The Sunbeam Tiger is a high-performance V8 version of the British Rootes Group's Sunbeam Alpine roadster, [...] produced from 1964 until 1967." A subject's dat...
Engine displacement should be expressed in liters or cubic centimeters (display as cc). Cubic inches (display as cu in) can be used to express the displacement of engines originally engineered, designated, and marketed in cubic inches, such as pre-1980s American and pre-1974 Australian engines. When dealing with engines that were originally markete...
Power and torque figures should usually be written in metric form with the imperial conversion in parentheses. Metric measurements of power should be expressed in kilowatts (kW). Metric horsepower (pferdestärke, PS) may be included for older vehicles. Metric measurements of torque should be expressed in Newton metres(N·m). In some cases power figur...
Care must be taken when including fuel consumption and performance figures. Performance figures should be limited to the manufacturer's claim unless there is a compelling reason not to. Performance figures should follow the industry standard 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time. Fuel consumption figures can be included if the article is dedicated to a partic...
We strive to illustrate our articles with high-quality images. We agree to the following general standards: 1. Images shall enhance the article in which they are placed and must feature the subject of the article section near which they are placed. 2. The image subject—automobile, engine, or component—must be the center of the image's composition. ...
Here are some things to keep in mind when creating an image of a car: 1. The front ¾ view from the height of an ordinary person is normally the best angle for a single picture of a car. 2. The illumination is key to obtaining a good image. Try to take pictures in the middle of the day or under bright but indirect lights. Make sure the sun is behind...
Within the automotive sphere, calendar years are typically used internationally except in North America where the model year format is utilised. Unless the article is about an automobile produced by a North American company primarily for North American consumption; for example, many General Motors, Ford and Chrysler products, articles should priori...

PHASE I -- A first goal should be to get 100% of Wikipedia car articles graded under the Wikiproject Automobiles system and placed correctly into Category:Automobile. We would have at least ensure that each and every car article in Wikipedia had been read by one of us to ensure that we have it graded reasonably well.
This is WikiProject Automobiles, a WikiProject for focused collaboration among users on the topic of Automobiles. WikiProject Automobiles exists to co-ordinate the effort to compile images on all types and classes of automobile, automotive parts and technology.
