So far, from what ive read/heard/seen. This is by far the biggest waste of money Ive ever known MB to throw out.

This is the most tested car ever. That cost moeny.
This is a new design for the C class. That cost money.
The advertising the're going to do. That cost money.

They are saving some money on the interior

I dont think the car will sell. Mercedes has revamped thier line, by comfoming to more modern cars. I think they should do a throw back series. Bring out soem of the nice older models. Modernize them alittle. Keep is classic.

Dont even get me started on the "command" system. You can get a nicer system in a sebring.

Now is 2013... far from your predication of the back then new C-Class, are you happy you are wrong? I'm still driving my 08 C300 and lovin' it

The W204 hit the one million production mark in August 2009. Must be well over two million vehicles manufactured by now. Anyone know?

Or maybe it was in 2010? http://media.daimler.com/dcmedia/0-9...0-0-0-0-0.html

Maybe not two million yet, but may get close to it before W205 shows up.
