Picked up the new brochure, some new changes for the coupe I noted while I quickly skimmed the details:

1. Bixenon is an option: C4 package, pictures still depict the same lense housing from 2002, not the clear housing used for the 500SL and new E-class
2. Autodimming mirrors come with the panorama sunroof C2 option and are not standard anymore
3.There is a choice of brown or charcoal wood trim instead of aluminum
4. Definitely a new 1.8L engine with 189 HP vs. 192 from last year
5. Bose, not Harmon Kardon is still the supplier
6.Digital speedometer automatically activates with cruise control

Other stuff:

-Wagon comes with 2.6L and well as the 3.2L engine
-4-matic options on the sedans and wagons

Dealer said no pricing until first week of August?!

Hey,

I have a question. Someone said that heated seats are standard? Does the brochure mention this?

Thanks

According to the brochure, heated front seats are still listed as an option, as well as heated headlamp washers, but since they replaced the C4 package from last year (heated seats, heated headlamp washers) with the new C4 package (bixenon, heated headlamp washers), it may very well be a freebie...unless they offer heated seats as just a stand alone option?!

Thanks!

I can't believe heat seats are a freebie, MB wants to make a buck, so we'll see.

Cheers,

This is listed as a feature on the '02's, but it doesn't work.

Your right! I thought it was new because I never had this feature activate with cruise control on my 2002 C240!

are you really sure that the new 2003 C32 with Bixenon is not coming clear housing used for the 500SL and new E-class, I have a picture of a 2003 C220-wagon of some realtive of bverotti from Europe and has this clear housing ?

I ordered my 2003 C32 and will be here in 3 weeks, I hope that is coming with this clear housing, and the new brochure picture is just a mishandle

No, I'm just saying none of the pictures in the 2003 brochure show the clear housing, but then again, it is an option. I spoke with my dealer in Vancouver Canada and he's 90 percent sure that the bixenons will come with clear housing.
