I wish the LED tails for the w203 were like that. I like that style a LOT better than the "S-Class" style tails.

[QUOTE=ClayJ]Made by H.W.A. GmbH.?
"...is one of the most successful touring car racing teams, and is also responsible for assembly and operation of the current C-Class DTM cars."
[QUOTE]
H.W.A. means Hans-Werner Aufrecht.....he was one of two founders of AMG. After Mercedes bought AMG, he organised the Racing department under the new name of HWA. Besides, as someone posted Gary Paffet won the DTM this year, next year he will be test driver for McLaren-Mercedes F1. And former F1 pilots Mika Häkkinen, Jean Alesi, Alan McNish Bernd Schneider are in DTM.
This year i saw one race in Nürburgring. Unfortunately Ekström won it, because Gary Paffet drove over a line after pitstop and in the pits he wanted service at the wrong box. That was funny but stupid... The sound of the DTM-C is incredibly high like a saw. The Audis have more typical low V8 sound.

I knew it, and its also for weight distribution, but imagine you driving lowered at your back seat in your coupe/sedan
How long will be the hood :p
