Looks awesome man.

Anyone else notice the change to reflectors from projectors for non-HID cars? Interesting switch.

Steering wheel is very nice ! Good looking car with the updated look. Nice to see a real life pic.

Entry level LCD screen does not look very nice in those colors though.

I drove C320 W204 from Paris to Dusseldorf, at night - the 320 has gobs of torque!

Well it's true the cars are hitting their lots a few months earlier, I think the real difference is that in RoW they call a car a "2011" if you buy it in 2011.

Only in America did we have that marketing switch-a-roo. "Uhh, it's a 2012." Sure it is. But of course, we all know that if you have a "2012" it just as likely entered service in 2011. Mercedes, at least, is better than other makes in this regard. There were some 2012's out there for sale in February this year. Please. (Volvo S60 I'm looking at YOU)

The 2010 GLK was launched in very early 2009 (January, I believe) in the US so Mercedes does it too, although perhaps not as often as some other brands. Unfortunately when they do release a model so early, it makes for a really long model year. The 2010 GLK was on sale as the current model for a lot longer than 12 months, which makes some of the 2010s in the used market a good bit older than even some other 2010s. It can also make some used examples appear to be higher or lower mileage for their ages than they actually are and of course that can have an effect on resale values.

You be right. Notice the little round lights where the fogs used to be (no LEDs?) plus the new version taillight lenses.

2012 C Class CDI 2007 R Class

It has dual fogs because it has no bi-xenon lights, they were not available yet. Anyway i've already ordered the led strips and i hope by june i can put them on. For those who want the gear shifter knob i found something but is for the luxury model it's beige leder and wood on ebay germany:
