W203 Facelift - Feb 2004
Translated German:
"At the end of February 2004 offers to Mercedes Benz the gefaceliftete C-class Famillie. Among other things the instrument carrier should be new, be revised the switch arrangement. The seats to be improved improved and the Comand should in a further developed version be available. Ausserlich is to change only little."
C32 to get V8 - C55 & CLK Headlamps:
"With the Faclift of the C-class in February 2004 C will replace 55 AMG V8 to C 32 AMG V6 compressor in the sedan and in the t-model. Allegedly AMG the 5ër AMG V8 is to have still somewhat more HP than in the current CLK 55 AMG expenditure for. Besides C 55 AMG is to stand out against the other C-class variants more strongly. Therefore he gets the headlights of the CLK, while variants the well-known headlights receive the other C-class however in clear glass optics."

I think that's one of the reasons why MBUSA has special offer 2.9% Financing for all C-Class, including C32!! The offer ends July 31, 2003.
C55? Hem....me like....sounds yummy.....I hope it's smoke legal in US....
Yeah I hope they improve the instrument cluster.....make it like CLK's or E's....The current one is dull.......

Thanx.
Could you provide the link to the german article? I would like to see what it says instead of the babelfish/alta vista translation.
No flame, harassment, etc intended.

2003 C230K Sedan
Here's another translation, more understable.
With the Faclift of the C-class in February 2004 C will replace 55 AMG V8 to C 32 AMG V6 compressor in the sedan and in the t-model. Allegedly AMG the 55er AMG V8 is to have still somewhat more HP than in the current CLK 55 AMG expenditure for.
Besides C 55 AMG is to stand out against the other C-class variants more strongly. Therefore he gets the headlights of the CLK, while variants the well-known headlights receive the other C-class however in clear glass optics.

I wouldn't completely trust that article about changing to a C55. That might happen only in Europe, especially since the article is in German, and they say that the change will also be in the T-model, which we don't get in C32 form. There was a C55 in the W202 chassis that never came to the US, so don't go out to order your C55 just yet. We may never see it in the states.

But now there are _two_ reasons to move to Germany.
