The body style stays - this is just a facelift. Besides, it only affects one model from the C Class lineup.

One model = C55/C32??? Is that what you mean, and not the other C classes (230/240/320)?

FACELIFT FEBRUARY 2004

Actually, I believe this facelift impacts ALL C Classes accross the board (C240/320, etc). I've read this in at least three different european publications.

Looks like I'm going to have to trade up myC240 Four Matic come February, specially if this AMG will be available in the States. damn!!!

How reliable is your source? Is it February 2004 production or delivery of the facelifted model? I'm suppose to take delivery of a C230K sport sedan in February 2004.

FEBRUARY FACELIFT

One of the magazines was an English magazine devoted to mercedes benz. They had a review of each current model and planned updates, facelifts and next generation model dates. I forget the name of the magazine. I read it while sipping some espresso at the Barnes and Noble...

The bottom line is a facelift for the C-Class which is on its mid-life cycle, commencing as of February 2004.

Cheers,

I also like the scream of a forced induction, but I am sure the 5.5 will also sound great.
