And, if we DO get it, I bet ya we will only have a choice of either one of the two six cylinders, and maybe, and this is a big maybe, one of the four cylinders. I really doubt we would get the CDI.

300 or 350. Maybe with lots of luck the 63. They couldnt get CDI's selling in US even when gas was almost $5. Diesel fuel is much more expencive

It's nice & looks better in the flesh than photos. I drove one the other day. The only pity is that it's built on the W203 platform & not the W204. It feels a generation old.

Glyn,

Would you be able to get the Tail Lights for one of those?
I think those lights would fit our coupe, sweet.

Somebody abroad PLEASE get me a set of those Tail Lights?

I really like that Hatch Back Lid better than ours, looks more modern and seems to finish off the rear end much more.

I see the front fenders being different and the rear hatch being different, but i think from the pictures that the tail lights would work?

Looks to me like the turn signal and the spoiler are 2 separate pieces now.

I find it hard to believe that a stock C230 coupe runs 10.9 at 125 mph.

Maybe 10.9 mpg at 125 mph. And that's if you are delimited.

I ordered my C200K CLC Coupe in September this year, should be arriving in late Feb. to early Mar. 2009. Indeed I do think the car looks alot better in the flesh compared to the media press kit photos.

Hey Jason,

Sweet, you guys are lucky being able to buy the cool European cars.
May be you can check out the Rear Turn Signals to see if they could be used on the earlier cars?

Thanks,
Dave

white and whiter
The tail lights should fit. they're only made to look like they won't fit the older coupe. BUT you would probably need the new hatch as well as the top section of the light doesn't have the curve/kink like the old one.

the door and the quarter panel looks unchanged to me (the trims on the door is evident). so if you get all the new front fender, hood, headlights, and front bumper AND tail lights, rear bumper and the hatch you can probably bolt it on without any problem.

03 g35 coupe...........02 c32 Sold
if we do get a mercedes hatch..it'll probably be something below the c-class. Something to compete against the 1-series. I know mercedes is still debating whether to bring in a sub c-class or not to the US.

it would be hard to sell in the US and they already announced that there won't be amg version of the coupe.
AYA ! too bad.
