spec changes

My car has just been built this month, C270 CDI elegance. Does anyone know if the changes to the spec of the car this year will have been included in my build.

AFAIK the changes will be included from june, but I'm not sure.
I'm sure curious if they will also use the new 270CDI block. I've got the OM612, but they made a new OM647 (on which they also base the C30CDI AMG).

What did you order, the manual or automatic?

I have ordered the auto as the performance is almost as good as the manual according to the figures.

The performance on these diesels is amazing and thats at an average of 40 mpg which is important in the uk as we are ripped off on fuel at £3.40/$4.65 per gallon

I find it pretty strange that I am finding out about these changes to the spec through websites and that the dealer has not contacted me to let me know of any changes to my original spec. I was expecting top class service with such a high profile brand like Mercedes as I have never owned one before. I will have to contact them again and try to find out exactly what my car will be like when I receive it. I am hoping that I will get the improved doors etc as that was one thing that seemed of poor quality, also the cupholder in the rear centre armrest looked cheap and I think they are changing this.
If anyone has more info please let me know.

We had the same kind of thing. Our company had three C's on order. One got delivered in march, the other two in may (last year). The two that were delivered in may had a few updated features. You can use the Nokia 6210 in the phone kit, boot handle had changed and some other stuff as wel.
They don't tell you this. Why? I don't know

They do not supply just the phone kit anymore in the UK. You have to buy the phone as well, another £200 and this is a 6210. I already have one so I suppose the wife will get the new one.
