Canadian version - spot the difference...

Just found some pictures of a press event held a few days ago in Ontario. Seems we Canadians will get a "custom" touch with the addition of large amber reflectors.

This is mandated by law. US cars get same treatment.

Yeah, I was going to say, I have seen the same markers on the US versions here. We are all special, here in North America.

Actually only US and Canadian versions get the big reflectors, not cars for all of North America. Mercedes C-Class in México doesn't have the reflector, and retains the European look.

I see the Mexico Sport models have the Elegance/Luxury exterior (no AMG body kit) including the wheels with a Sport grill added but have the Sport interior with the Euro color choices.

Relector change

Nope. You can do nearly anything you want after delivery except what might effect emission tests (after the fifth year of ownership) or if you have state inspection and those reflectors are on the check list.

According to the web site, they are offering 3 trim levels: Classic, Elegance, and Sport. It appears you are correct; the Sport models do not have the AMG styling package. Also, I noticed the Classic shows a C180 model.
