Bill-
The one thing that confuses me is this: The C-class MB in the video, if one looks closely at the shifter, has a manual transmission. I thought that MB wasn't manufacturing those any longer, at least not for North America.
Can anyone clarify? Thanks.

Manufacturing, yes. Distributing in North America, no. The rest of the world still gets the choice. The car in video also has no side marker light on the front fascia and the speedometer is in kilometers...not a US video.

Yea, i mean the major facelift change is in 2012 but in 2013 and 2014 they will make these small changes that make a big difference like they did the small changes from the 2010 in the 2011 model where they change the Fog lights into the amazing LED DRLs, and they change the headlamp housing into Black which again is awesome and they also changed the turn signals into LEDs aswell, again, minor changes that make a big difference.
Oh i forgot about the changes they did to the transmission as well in the 2011(7 speed G-Tronic), so u see, im not too excited about the 2012 because as everyone knows, mercedes is NOT good at first runs in their model line ups , there will be some major issue as it has been with most of their first run models (eg the C230 and the 2007 C300) and look at the C300 now(im talking 2011 not the 2012) the 2011 has a much better interior and overall driving quality.
People who drive a 2010 and recieve as 2011 as a loaner say the 2011 rides better and gives a smoother ride. its all here on the forum

It's the other way around. 2012 is a minor freshening. The 2013 launch of the 2014 model year is the new car, codenamed W205, and built in the USA for the first time. That will be a launch to watch closely.

I was going to correct that if you hadn't. I heard about some possibility of plug-in/hybrid and that might really be interesting, not to mention what (r)evolutionary changes they make.

The last time I saw him a while ago I couldn't believe my eyes. It didn't look like him at all (not the way I remembered him anyway). So, clearly, it was no facelift but a model change -> "Kenny-2". Pelosi OTOH,... don't get me started!
