Wait
New model will likely be improved in every objective way. You can always still buy the older style while left on dealer lots, and there is nothing worse than having buyer's remorse if you end up loving the 2006 C.

you think the W204 will be out in about a yr?
i guess the revised interior will have AT LEAST 2 yrs of life before being phased out by the W204..
but well..i got sick of C sedan..they aged faster than the 3 series!

my lease will be over in 2006 and I was under the impression that the W204 was coming out on that year.

What I've read so far (which isn't much) has the new W204 model being a 2007 model coming out in 2006.

C-Class lifecycle
The W202 had a 7 year lifecycle (94-00) with a facelift in the 5th year (98). If the same is true for the 203, then the lifecycle would be 7 years (01-07) with a facelift in the 5th year (05).
Based on this logic (which could certainly be flawed) it seems the new C-Class 204 would not be sold until MY08. Also, I doubt MB would replace the car 1 year after the facelift. Why bother with a facelift if it only lives 1 year? So, I would vote to get the MY05.

Get the car now
If you need it, buy the devil you know. The W204 is a gamble, quality-wise and style wise. The 203 has problems, but at least they've had three years to take corrective actions.
Something "more enticing" is always around the corner. That's why I keep stuff for a LONG time. computer: 5-8 years. Car: 15+ years. Get off the treadmill. It's good for the soul

And the next Coupe is already in the planning stages- same as with the next sedan. MB isn't going to walk away from another 75thousand units a year, built on established engineering(but sleeker sheetmetal). Its all about economies of scale...the CLK, the C sedans, the C wagons, and the Coupe are all of the same DNA. So suck on it.
Heheh.
