yeah the pacific blue looks different, looks pretty good after a while i think its because i am not used to the color and thats why it seems a bit odd. Very uniqe though.

^^^ thats the first tihng i thought when i saw the pics. they look like some $5 hub caps if not worst. But i suppose that whoever who is buying the 240 doesn't want to buy the car for its sportiness otherwise they would go with the 230, still no reason for puting such ugly rims on that car.

On the website, it seems like the C240 wagon gets much nicer looking 7 spoke wheels.

Have u got any wagons to confirm if the website is correct?

The wheel can be easily swapped off. But that new radio headunit looks like the attack of the black plastic. FUGLY!

I have to agree that is one weird cupholder. The force required to turn it outwards is just unacceptable, and it feels jerky and rough doing it. I'm sure a lot of the will break with the high effort required to turn it. Just tacky. I predict a lot of warranty claims for cupholders coming. The old cupholders in the E and C class are crap too. Just a bit of spilled drink in the mechanism and it gets stuck. Who would've imagined that drinks couldn't get spilled in there?

On another note, I was surprised that the C class had hubcaps available. I saw one on a Canadian C class.

The pic is incorrect.

That is the C55 AMG. The C320 Sport Sedan gets the standard W203 lights - just like the C240 or 230 Sedan.

maybe, but notice the bottom of that poster says C320 sport and it doesn't have the AMG rims instead of it has the current sport pkg's rims. but I do notice the brake caliper says AMG on it, so that may be a photo shop?

this is the C320 pic I just found on mbusa.com and it has the old nose still. looking good. lol

Yes, definitely an improvement over the previous halogens, but I'm sure glad I spent the extra $ and got bi-xenons instead!

I think Opie is correct. Look at the headlights; they look more like the CLKs. Plus it could be that the C55 will have different wheels as well.

MBUSA really screwed up with that picture.

It's definitely the C55 but MBUSA is claiming it to be the 2005 C320 Luxury Sedan!

It’s hard to believe that MERCEDES BENZ has not caught this obvious photoshoped pic of the c55. They probably did it on purpose

What a shame...

Do they even have a picture of a C320 or C230 (full outside view of the car)?? Doesn't look like it.
