It probably does have hooded instruments. it looks very nice. I am sure the canadian version will also have them. I have seen them on the US Cars. They are like the C63.

No hooded instruments on the 2009 Canadian models. see the 2009 e brochure below with pictures.

The MBUSA 2009 C Class brochure also does not show the hooded gauges either, but they are there....I just looked at a few cars with them this morning.
They actually look fine, as the gauges+hoods are covered by a slightly curved and sloping transparent cover; very similar to the C63. No reflections, no dust build-up.

The GL, ML and C63 all have hooded instruments. I have a GL and the instruments look great.

Don't why so many dislike the hooded instrument dials, I actually like them.
It looks more sporty though a little less upscale.
I don't like the chunky looking numbers on the AMG dials.

If MB is reading this thread it would not surprise me to see the " hooded dials " as an option for 2010 or after. Which means that the people who like them will have to pay extra for them. Personally i think they make the car look a bit more sportier inside. After all it is a Sport Sedan. ![drive](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/driving.gif)
