Waiting for W204 Facelift
The Others for me
1-Active Cruise Control that now low car maker has option list but only MB begins this feauture with E ...
2-17 '' AMG 63 stying Alloy wheel (this begins from 18 '')
3- Big One ; get rid of from front console cheap plastic and replace Qualite one
4-Rear facelift immediately ; if you look at W204 directly from Rear one you notice weak design and rear lights like fallen down.
5-for outside of US ; 7 speed auto for 4 cy. engines
6- Diesel engine capasity (4 cy.) decrease to under 2000cc (for lower VAT
)
7-side mirrors ; more estetical design could be
8- less engine, road, wheel and wind noise
9- more exterior and interior colour option
10-C63 AMG front grill should be as option like sport and luxery face

MOOOORRREEEEE POWER...
I don't even need to beat the 335
0-60 in the 5.4-5.7 range would be great...I am sure with that kind of power you can probably beat 99% of those 335 driving pansies

memory seats.
I can't believe they don't have them. If I was the only one driving the w204 I wouldn't mind at all, but having manually set the seats and mirrors everytime is really pissing me off. My w203 has them and never use the function, the w204 doesn't and I would be using it all the time.

Lexus IS 350 F Sport
looks like memory seats is the most missed option thus far ?? Heck im the only one driving my car soo no need to keep re-postioning the seats here
what i wished the new c had is the key-less thingie ....i think its called Key Go ??? I had that in my previous ride and looooved it. Never had to go digging into my handbag searching for my key just grabbed the handle , sat down and pushed the magic button 
and off i went !!

The new C would be perfect if it did the following:
- 300+ hp/torque engine to compete with 335i
- better braking - it's new and should be better than the previous model.
- nicer interior -- passenger side dash to too much an expanse of plastic
- backup camera -- available on cheaper cars like honda and infiniti
- adaptive headlights - again available on cheaper cars. W204 only has cornering lamps with its xenon but no adaptive
- paddle shifters -- also available on cheaper cars
- rear roller blinds
- electronic parking brake - I'd prefer not to have a pedal down there
- active steering available -- some people like the easier steering
- lane departure and blind spot monitoring
- I would also like climate comfort seats...cooled leather seats are much welcomed in summer.
Again...a lot of these features are available in the E and higher, but a lot of us would prefer a small car for its ease in the city but still get all the features of the big boys. A S-class is like driving a boat in a city. As well...many of those features are available on less expensive cars from Honda, Acura, Infiniti and others...and so for a premium car, they should be there as options.
I will never understand why manufacturers don't make their products better in every way when they know exactly what their competitors are offering.
