last built, that means, mercedes benz would probably do a major discount on the ones that are in stock! before the w204 comes out!

Its sad to see the W203 model will be discontinued. One of the best looking MB cars an easy to work with.

I like every aspect of my w203. But I would not be that skeptical about w204. The spy pictures can't tell you what it really is. I am sure at the beginning people will find it look little odd for MB, but in a year or so we will take it as new icon

Don't worry they are not done making the w203 yet, the factory in Bremen Germany is still making the w203. Atleast that is what i was today today.


As for the the W204 I saw 2 while i was at the factory in Sindelfingen today picking up a CLK350(not mine). Seeing the car in person, still in camo, i starting to think i will like it. the pics dont really do it justice. Sorry no new pic's my camara was confiscated at the start of the factory tour.

As was stated earlier, that really was not the "last" w203, just the last for Sindelfingen. I'm sure MB will have some bigger ceremony for the last one to leave Bremen.

By the way, from the photo, it appears to be a rather "vanilla" looking model, probably a diesel.

I read that the last W203 is a C230 destined for a customer in the USA.
Also, I believe they stopped producing W203's at Bremen when they started W204 production in October.

they are among us...

I saw an actual w204 mule today. All bundled up and "hush-hush" driving on the 405 South tonight (in traffic). It looked pretty sweet (well exactly like the mule pictures). I wish I had my camera though, it was dark and all I had was my phone (which has a HORRIBLE cam)...

I'm looking forward to the w204 and the C63!

No way, don't like the styling of the W204, that is why I decided to get one of the last few W203's
