C240
So many luxury brands extending into 4-bangers.. Infinity with their G25.. except the C250 seems more promising power wise.
Just kidding, G25 is a V6, my fault.

FWIW - I think it looks ok. I have a 2005 C230K and I prefer the styling to the later body style, but the 2012 looks good to me - not that much better than I think the 2005 and 2006 look, but I could say it was an improvement - at least what I saw of it.

The interior is at least better than the W204 predecessors, the navigation in particular. Not feeling the headlights/LED fog strip combo.
Saw this on the W204 forum.. guess there's already pics of the 2014 W205. Looks even worse than the W204s in my opinion.

I really like the facelifted w204. The interior improvement is huge. I like the new AMG rear and the new taillights quite a bit. The LED running lights like the 2011's have are great too.
It officially kills the LCI E90.
so true...

'02 C230 Coupe (Me) '03 SLK320 6MT (Wife)
My thoughts go like this: I had a 190 2.6 (pewter) when the W202s came out. I liked it and, wasn't sure about the 202, but I got used to it, and although I never owned one, I got to where I liked them.
It took just a bit to get used to the round look on the W203's, but my wife fell in love with the Coupe, so I had a crash course. I liked the Sport Sedans, but wasn't so much for the non-sport version, visually. It took driving one to start to like the face-lift interior, but just one drive.
I liked the 204s fairly quickly although it took a little for the interior to grow on me. I still like it, but I don't just love it. Again, I like the Sport variant visually from the exterior.
Based on my history, I suspect I will like the face-lift 204s quite well as soon as I have adjusted to them -- but I will keep driving my little Coupe.

glad they killed that stupid looking door that covered the non nav displays, it was one of the cheapest stupidest things on the W204, interior looks better, but will it still be hard plastic like the current ones? Or nice and soft like out W203 dash?
