The Mercedes-Benz C-Class was introduced exactly two decades ago. At that time, the model was the German manufacturer's smallest model. Today, the C-Class is one of the most successful cars in the Mercedes portfolio and has gone on to sell 10 million units worldwide. To celebrate this feat, Mercedes is launching the special C-Class Celebration edition in India on 12/11/2013 just as it did in a few international markets. The car is based on the current third generation C 220 CDI and gets a few cosmetic changes to differentiate it from the regular models.
