could be, you might have to think about it before getting your c320 sport, becuase prices would drop accross the line in that case.

E350 might be comming out soon too.

C350 will probably be out in 2 years with the introduction to the W204.

C350 will have the 4 valve design, as currently in the SLK350.

The E350 will be out in February, but not a C350, at least not that I have heard. I would think the C would be much further behind to get an engine upgrade.

i hope the gasoline consumption for the C350 won't be more than the C320. for the C320, epa says 19 city and 26 freeway. real world number is 18 combined. I don't mind the gasoline price but the gas tank for the C-class is pretty small. at 18 mpg, I have to fill the gas tank every week (about 270 miles every fill up). So, mb either have to make the C350 more fuel efficient or increase the size of the gas tank.

As stated, the E350 will be out early next year but the C350 is a big unknown. I have read that Germany will have a C350 beginning next June but there is no word on any US deliveries. It is very possible that no W203 350's will come to the US. With US sales for C240 and C320 models so low, I could see only sales of the C230 sport models next year.
