I did a quick search and couldnt come up with anything recent.

Does anyone know when the next generation C class will arrive? 2006 model year perhaps? Any spy pics?

Do a Google search for 2005 C-Class. It has improved chassis, some minor external changes, new seats and new dash.

Here's one link...

Thanks for the info.

2005 looks like just a "freshening up". I am wondering when there will be a complete redesign similar to the 2000 to 2001 model year changes.

typically a year or 2 after the S class is redesigned, the C will follow.......that is typically how it happens....so if we wait for the new S class to come out, a year or two after....

The W204 is supposed to come out in the fall of 2006 as a 2007 Model.

Drats! That means when my current lease is up (late 2005), I will have to roll into a C class that will be replaced shortly thereafter

I would think the facelift would have to last a bit longer then 2 years. If we look at the 202, it was facelifted for year 5 and replaced in year 8. If that is the case with the 203, then look for the facelift to go three years.
