Don't hold your breath waiting for this car in the American market....the dealers don't want it, whether you do or not.

I think it looks ok, it also looks like they have lengthened the back end a little, my big question is have they changed the interior like some sites report or updated the existing interior with new entertainment consol and colours.

Shape around the rear fenders almost makes it look like they just slapped a new grille and headlights on the old one. Even the front bumper shape looks a little soft, like the old W203.

Have to wait to see the whole thing.

I almost bought one way back when, and still see enjoying them on the road. They seemed like a great value at the time, and I'll always have a soft spot for fastbacks ... problem is I never ended up buying one, and probably never will.

I hope they keep the 203 interior, looking at the C203 compared to the W204, the downgrade is obvious and quite significant. If I were to buy a C, it would be the coupé without a doubt.

highly doubt that will make it to North America. There's much better and more modern competitors such as the A3, C30, GTI and the upcoming 1-series.

It's funny how the model's car cover sized dress is pretty much covering what's not redesigned.

Not too far from the truth.... because that's essentially what they did. What were they thinking?

And to top it off... the engine choices won't keep up with the competition. Geez... the 135i's going to spank it's **** and then some.

The front end actually reminds me a little of the old Lexus IS.
