2012 C Class CDI 2007 R Class
It's 200 CDI blueefficiency! It was the only version available yet and the car was on the dealer's inventory so i got a big discount, and i think it's worth! It has lost of torque and the overall performances are really close to 220 CDI.

Nice.
I too have the C 200 CDI BE. Even thoug mine is a 2011 and thus not facelifted, the engine is the same, just without ECO start/stop.
I also like the C 200 CDI. It is just as powerfull as the old 220 CDI (OM646), and clearly has more power than the quoted 100 kW/136 PS.

I'm hoping MBenznl.nl will research this for me so I can order a pair from him.
Again, thanks.
BTW, is that a Dortmund plate?

He was the first one to test these:
@ Matt
What i here about the new taillights is that i have to programm them with the Star-Diagnostic for right working. Now they also do there job but not as they should have to![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Here is a video from today how there work in my car:

This evening i found a guy who is able to encoding the control unit of the tail lights.
Mercedes isn't able to do it![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
This is how the new tail lights have to look like:

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (I'm having trouble gathering solid info) but does the 2012 include navigation STANDARD with audio 20? It appears that it does. I'm wondering what specifically the differences will be in 2012 if you have audio 20 vs COMAND.

Not standard, only if you order xenon. Think its a money question, the prices are reduced a little here in the EU.
Ordered mine with the same setup as my 2008 W204. Prices of packages are reduced so much that i pay 7500 euro less for my new car comparing to the price i paid for my 2008.
Here in the EU, audio 20 is standard in the car.
With pilot map navigation.
You can also have command with internet now in the 2012 model.

Now i must say that the projector lamps in my car dont give much light (non xenon) thats why i put aftermarket xenon in my car.
Letts see if the light of my non xenon new car gives more light.

The nav option for the Audio 20 system is relatively inexpensive as well..with the 5.8" screen it may be a decent alternative to the command system.

All you gotta say is "pulling a new Jetta". Lol. Anyone who's sat in or researched those things will know exactly what that implies.

So I researched this new street pilot plug in nav system everyones talking about. MB is launching in the new C and SLK..it's really cool. Anyone know if it's Europe-only?

Dealer ordering guide shows a picture of the C class without Lighting Package with reflectors. I hope COMAND Online makes it to the US on my ordered C class, but I have a strong feeling it won't since it is not mentioned in the dealer ordering guide.

On a side note, I saw pictures of the new Chevy Malibu (I own a Malibu as well), and current owners are saying that they're happy for the new car to see that it now has projectors (for what I assume will be the NON HID version, but not positive), instead of the current cars reflectors, while M-B downgrades from projectors to reflectors on their non HID version. I gotta say, as a buyer or owner, this would make me feel good about my pre-facelift W204 if I had one, or it would make me happy about being someone who always will opt for the HID option, as your car will be that much cooler and your money spent that much more effective.

By all measures, the Malibu has been considered a very well done car for its purpose. I am not a style-driven buyer, but I was very surprised and disappointed to see the renewal. The rear is interesting with the Camaro-esque taillamps, but the side and particularly the front looks like what I would expect to see lining the rows at Avis. A two year old Sonata is still more interesting to look at, and with what Ford has done with Focus and Fiesta, I expect the Fusion re-do, based on Mondeo, to also pass Malibu by very quickly for exterior design. There isn't a headlamp technology in the world which could make that sheetmetal and grille seem new or fresh. Still, a very solid piece of engineering for a typical daily driver.
