the "elegance" trim for Europe is labeled "luxury" here in the US and was only available on the C280 and C350 for 2006-2007

The C230 was only available as a Sport sedan, C280 only available as a luxury sedan and the C350 was available as both.

I believe it depends on the year. I know starting 2005, the C240 could only be ordered as a luxury sedan and not sport. I'm not so sure about what was available in 2001-2004 though.

2001-2003. C240 can be had in either luxury or sport for US. 2004 only luxury.

this is bodykits only... US vs Euro

2001-2003 C240/320 luxury sedan bodykit = Classic/Elegance
2001-2004 C240 sport/C320 sport = Avantgarde
2003-2004 C230k = Avantgarde
2005-2007 C240/C280/C320/C350 luxury = Face-lifted Avantgarde used as both Elegance & Avantgarde models.
2005-2007 C230k/C230/C320/C350 sport = AMG-Avantgarde (Avantgarde gives you the sport trims i.e. pedals, aluminums, seats, etc.)
