Hi guys,

So since we know a new body will come out in 2014, I was wondering, do you think at that point it'll be a complete new look or would it be something similar to the previous bodies?

Do we have any information whatsoever on the type of body we can expect?

I'm realllly digging the new interior, I'm not sure if it's worth to wait till 2014 and see what the new body would be like or just order one now!

Please let me know, thanks!

I have seen computerized images in German car mags over here and so far I no likey.

I think most brand new body styles keep getting uglier and uglier for the most part, just my opinion.

Are you able to share those images with us?

Thanks

Would have to do a search in the internet.

Found these. It is also said that the W205 will be built in the States and not Germany.

I'll be interested in the next C63's power delivery...the new M3 will be out by then as well. It'll be very interesting to see how the insta-torque turbos of both cars will compare.
I'm guessing that handling will be very close to make it a non-issue (as I don't track)...unless AMG goes for even more rawness and ///Marketing continues to dope out the M3 with more novocaine.
And I'm hoping the new sheet metal for either car will not be grotesque.

Interesting, but yes, ugly. lol

wow 2014? does that mean they'll start selling the car in 2014 or late 2013 as a 2014 model?

i.e. new 3 series 2012 is coming out in March 2012.

Yikes...the E90-style character line on the W204 is cool but a W205 with the Audi-esque silhouette and tail lights are definitely not cool.

This doesn't make sense. The W204 Platform should have another 3 years left. I'm thinking we'll see it in 2015, not 2014.

Isn't this the 5th model year of the w204? My guess is 2014 model year for the next gen.

4th Model Year. It just got the refresh(Usually happens 3 years in) which would make 2012 it's 4th. Please correct me if I am wrong.

dkhm3

then it should be 2015 before the next gen comes out.

7 year cycles?

2008 was first year

That is so ugly, i hope that is not going to be the next design.

Usually it's a 7 year cycle. If 08 was the first year, then '15 make more sense for the AMG version to hit.
