I'd have posted it on the other existing threads, but I figured this way it would get more attention for you guys to see. Feel free to merge them though...

Sure that's the face-lift? That's what Europe has now. Most reports said facelift included newly shaped tailights, headlights, grille, and front fascia as well as interior treatments.

I hope those are the only changes. My car is only a year old with 6k on the mileage.. I don't want it to look sooo old =(

There were sneak picks about 5 months ago and I didn't like em which is why I didn't wait. The new engines are also supposed to come with the facelift and but I couldn't take that over the "ugly" pics but I guess time will tell.

PS My car isn't even 1 month old lol.

Photos and article are way old. They just added information to the article thus the new date. The article talks about the new mirrors lol which we've had MY 2010!

Yeah I noticed, but I figured i'd post it anyway since we're not hearing anything and it was there as I was checking the news. I doubt we will see anything really new until at least the Paris Motor Show.

I seriously doubt a substantial facelift will take place for a few years... It is in MB's best interest to keep resale values as high as possible. They realize that most MB owners are financially smart, and to any financially smart individual - investing in a car that will depreciate in 2-3 yrs an additional 30% once the body style changes - would not make sense.

This is a double edged sword though, because purchasing brand new cars is the only way* for MB to make money - and MB owners typically must have the latest and greatest. Suggesting that when a new body style comes out, many will opt for the new upgrade

I dont really care for the changes, they are very subtle

Also a question on those LED DRLs, dont those usually only come when you order Xenons? Tons of people do not opt for the Xenons so all of those people would be back to square one without LEDs.

The LED DRLs are not a face lift. They are simply an update for MY 2011 in U.S.

MY 2012 in U.S. (out in mid 2011) will be the face lift.

Mercedes does 4 years, and then 3 years with a face lift.

2011 MY will only be year 4.

I have a 2010 C250 that is be replaced by a 2011 C300 in September. I'm super happy about the LED's. I love 1 year leases. lol

1 year lease sounds cool if you have the $$$.
