I fear not.
Bangle-ism has polluted the culture of car design.

And Mercedes is jumping on the Bangle boat.
The end of an era.

I read the press release from DC Media's website. I think its only the last 203 from the Sindelfingen plant. And most of the 203s, if not all that come to the US are from the Bremen plant. So I guess its not really the last 203 ever.

anyway...i read the press release and it said that it was a C230 going to a customer in the US. i didn't know that they made C-Classes in Sindelfingen for the US market. i thought they were all made in Bremen.
