Facelift for 2011 C Class?
My local dealer states that the 2011 C classes are in production and should be here by the end of the month, but that there appears to be no changes? On the Mercedes AG website, it appears that there are now LED daytime running lights

Figures. I pick up a new C300 Sport on Monday (5/10/10) and it's already 'old'. I ordered it in Feb, was built in Mar and pick-up in May! Oh well.

I will tell you an insider secret. Mercedes tricks customers nowadays as they invented a new trick (PHASE ONE - PHASE TWO). In July it starts 2011 model year production but it will be only phase one. This will not have facelifted changes. Later on in December 2010 they will start 2011 model year production phase two. This will include facelifted changes. So dont rush to buy a car before december 2010. I hope this helps.

It took awhile to get and I needed to order it because it is one of few 2wd C300s in the Chicago market. All dealers tend to order 4-matics. Plus it only has Nav +4; Advanced Agility; Auto; heated seats. Kind of a strange option list. Silver with black mb-tex.
If the parametric steering is as good as I remember from a rental in Germany, I'll probably retrofit it to my C55.

Mercedes USA spokesman Rob Moran has confirmed that both the CL and S-class models in the U.S. will get the new twin turbo V8 in Q4 of this year with other models getting it in 2011. Models currently powered by a V6 engine will get the new V6 beginning in 2011. I take this to apply to the C350.

I can confirm 100% that the Canadian 2011 models will have LED'd replacing the halogen fogs. I saw the internal memo with pictures etc.. when ordering my 2011 C3004M last week at MB West Island.

C-Class Sport 2010
In Belgium the "new w204" is available now.. you only get the led DRL's if you have the Bi-Xenon lights (we dont have a P2 package here).
Mine is at the shop right now, i'm waiting for the insurance.. pic's will come soon..
Btw: my dealer says that the biggest change between 2009 & 2010 model is the acceleration.. the 2009 model is to slow below 2500rpm.. that should be fixed now.
Offcourse, i've ordered a C200.. so i can't compare with another engine.

C300 Sport/Palladium Silver on Black/P2
MBUSA has a press release with said changes for 2011 cars.
The C Class will be slight update ONLY. 2012 will be face lift. No surprise, Mercedes does 4 years, and then 3 years of face lift, 7 MY total.
The 2011 C is going to get (in USA)...
LED daytime lights for all Cs.
Black inside head lamp housing, for non bixenon cars
New wheels I believe
And finally, new headlamp switch, which most models are also getting (wonder what they changed ) ?
Engines are identical to current offering in U.S.

2011 C350
I priced the C300 and C350 with all the options and the prices were pretty close so I went with the C350 because I liked the black wood trim, but really, I would have been happy with the C300.
Let me know if you want more info about this model. I'll try to see if I still have the information my dealer gave me.

Congrats! I like your choices of color and options. What is the Light Package you ordered? I don't think I have heard of it before. Is it new for 2011?

2011 C350
The MB dealer told me that they regrouped the packages for 2011. Instead of P1 & P2, they only have 1 premium package and then grouped the xenon light & headlamp washing in its own "lighting" package.
