Just saw a 2005 C230k sport sedan..
Its not like no one has seen one, but I have to say it looks SO much better after mercedes redesigned it, especially the front end...this particular one was parked at the grocery store so i got a pretty good look, it was silver on gray, but didnt have xenons but the new clear lens headlamps look a lot better than the opaque ones before it was redesigned
Well just giving my opinion...sorry didnt get any pics

I saw a white 2005 Sports sedan today at Caliber motors while picking up MB parts (20% off).
It had Oyster leather, but the black steering whell looked good, I thought I would hate it.

2014 Sport White on black
I got a post card from MBZ of San Diego inviting me to lease the new FY05 C230 sedan for $349.00 a month. What bugs me is that in the post card it gave me an amount I could purchase a car. In the fine print it said the amount was based on my income/credit report. I want to know how they get my credit report/income. I know I did not divulge any that information to them. In fact I did not buy my car from them either (from another dealer in SD). I might test drive the car this weekend and then question them on the fine print. Anyway it looks like $349 is the current going rate to lease the new sedan.

I was just at Fletcher Jones getting my B service. They had ZERO 2005 Coupes, but a couple of 2005 Sedans. All were the C230K Sports Sedans, no 320's.
I like everything better on the new 2005. The rear tails are nicer, the side mirror blinkers look cool, but the new grill and much larger opening around the intercooler is sweeet. The clear fogs glass is now oval rather than rectangular with one side rounded. They gave the the dealer training booklet that shows the difference between the 04 and the 05 models. It says you can't get the curve illuminating front foglamps in the Sports sedans and AMG. The good side is the luxory sedans, wagons and coupes get it.
Also for the Coupes MB Tex is now standard instead of cloth!
The DVD Navis $2100, the HK radio system with 6 disc CD changer is $970.
I have lots of great photos, but only allowed 1 byte to post.
