looks like all the head lamp will be clear lense but the bi-xenon still gives me the creep.

and also it looks like 03 model in germany will get the distronic and parktronic like the S-klasse

DtS

The C has been available with parktronic from the very beginning in Europe. However the Distonic is brand new for 2003.

It says that there will be C320 Sportcoupe with six speed in December.

Also, the 2003 C-class info is on the German MB web site: http://www.mercedes-benz.de/

Lynn, I searched around the German MB website looking for info on colors I did not find it (Of course, given that I took French and not German in HS, I had no clue what I was reading).

Is there info on the 2003 colors?

Thx

Beth

the clear lense cover with the projection lense head light is for bi-xenon only i think...if you look closely in the catalog you will see that the standard halogen has the same layout as the current head light except with clear lense cover. so unless you want to get the bi-xenon after market i would stick with the current head light look

Vince

i want these

It also says: that the other 320 models will get a standard six speed manual gearbox in December, There will be 4-matic modelsas of september for the 6-cylinder sedans and station wagons, In September they will introduce a C30 AMG diesel for the sportcoupe, in December for the sedan and the station wagon, The interior will be remodeled with the electric steering column adjustment at the left part of the steering column like on BMWs instead of in the door, new Thermatic climate control system, slightly different interior door handles, 3 new 1.8 4-cylinder engines with improved fuel economy ranging from 143 to 192(only sportcoupe) hp, 200CGI gasoline direct injection with 162hp in December, AMG wheels now painted in sterling silver, eject box for cell phone in the arm rest, separate locking function for rear hatch of sportcoupe and station wagon discontinued(now done over cental locking remote).
Hope this helps(I'm German).

Beth,

Go back to the German website and click on the Pkw option in the left frame. Then slect C-Klasse; Sportcoupe; and colorator. The colors choices seem to be the same as they are now. Just some shading differences. Of course, that could just be the website.

Not being able to read German either, I don't know if I'm looking at old or new info. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Mark

It is mentioned in the C-class brochure when referring to the 4-matic. It says for details on 4-matic system see S-class brochure. It would be nice if you got it to post it or send it to me.

my e-mail: wiesmannfrank@gmx.de

I will gladly translate it then!

Best regards,
Frank

Mark,

I found those colors, but I think they are the 2002 colors -- kinda interesting that they have orange in Germany. Thanks though! I think there are new colors for 2003. I'm hoping they have this color that the e-class has called Indigo. It must be blue purple with a name like that. I would like a purple car! It's not even a special order on the e-class. Of course, I like the gold too, but I must say Black is out. Too much work to take care of.

Beth,

The colors are exactly the same, with one new color. It is a dark silver. The interior colors and pattern for the cloth seats are unchanged.

galaxygrrl

Thanks Lynn! Do you know if Capri Blue comes with a Java interior though?

Beth

Lynn

Not for the coupe. Still just Ash and Oyster cloth and Carcoal and Oyster leather. In Europe, the cloth pattern comes in red, yellow, blue, green and gray for Ash. There are two pattern colors for Oyster cloth.

galaxygrrl

Thanks! guess it will be Capri with charcoal.

Lynn

The new darker silver is called cubanitsilber. Aventurinorange is Paprika.
