I didn't have a choice but I am very happy with my 2013 Coupe. I don't like the hood/front bumper seam on the CLA and W205.

Not a big fan of the CLA but am interested in seeing how the W205 turns out.

2009 C350W on EDP
I own a 2009 C350W that I picked-up at the delivery center near Stuttgart in September 2008. I am very happy with the MB brand and the quality and performance of my C350W. However, I am now tempted to consider trading it in for something newer/fresher.

My dealer is pitching a 2013 C350 Coupe or the new E350 but they don't quite fill the bill. I find myself antcipating the upcoming AMG CLA45 which should be very sporty and yet affordable, and then comparing it with early/advance reviews/descriptions for the new W205 generation of C Class cars. I will just have to be patient, but my current C350W is still running great.

I am enjoying my 2008 C350 so much(best part my day is driving it) but I took it to the dealer to get new tail light bulbs put inng on dash) and man oh man did they try and push the 2013 C-Class model on me while I was waiting. I took the 2013 C250 for a test drive while I waited and WHOA!!!! No thanks and then took a 2013 C300 out for a spin and a lot better. Anyway looks like a lot of people are waiting to see the W205 and CLA and not willing to pull the trigger just yet on a 2013 W204

The 2014 will still be the W204.

I think they are limiting to a small inventory of 2014`s like they did when the 2007 C class was the old shape before the new 2008 C-Class came out

This is where we get caught up in model year vs. calendar year. The last run of the W204 is the 2014 model year, from calendar 2013-2014. The launch of the W205 is the 2015 model year, from calendar 2014-2015. If MB practice holds, watch for the 2014 W204 to get increased standard content rather than distress MSRP discounting/consumer cash incentives for the clearout, although dealer cash incentives are likely as well for additional deal-by-deal negotiating.

You right they throw in all the bells and whistles in the last model, like AMG 18" wheels as standard and other little thing(rear spoiler, ipod connection Old plug, becker navi)

According to the MY14 Order Guide (March 2013) the stock wheels on the C350W will be 18" 5 spoke but not AMG. For all W204 they are also including split-folding rear seats and the standard grille has black painted lamella on sport models.

Nothing else is standard yet, but when I asked for a delivery date they said November 2014. Maybe they will add more as they progress into the model year.
