The very last w203
I thought I'd post this article. I liked reading it.

thanks for sharing!
sad to hear... but also nice to know that its the best selling c-class.
i think it has a lot to do with overall market availability / competition from 2000-2007. a decade after its initial release brings a whole different set of options for the price range from other companies. as a result, i dont think they w204 c-class will be as big of a seller from lack of potency.
maybe i'm just biased towards the w203
on the flipside... the more of our cars in circulation, i'm guessing it only hurts the "value" and uniqueness of it. makes me happy to drive a face-lifted coupe b/c its more rare.

The W203 really got off to a rough start but finished its run being extremely polished and very, very good looking in a way that is aging very well.

I see a lot more w204s in Perth, Australia than w203s. I really like the face lift w204s. The first generations interior was plane and dull, but the facelift is really nice. In 3 years, I'll consider the w204... maybe the coupe.
