Haha, very good point, but let's hope not! But then on the other hand, that will make our W203's that much more valuable to us and to potential buyers, so maybe it should look like a Charger!

If it looks anything like the spy photos Ive seen so far, I hate it.

Just trying to be open minded. Don't hate me because I said it first.

i think mercedes shot and released this spy video clip. The video was too well filmed to be coming from a spy video photographer. If it did come from such a person, then he's a genius.

Why would they move away from the figure 8 headlights that look so good?

New head designer. The current cars are all evolution of the design language started by Bruno Saco(sp?) with the last gen E, and put in full force with the now pretty old CL. His successor further refined it with each subsequent design onward till the new CLS, I believe they were all penned under the same leadership. He left, and I think he's at VW now...correct me if I'm wrong...anyway, I think the new guy is out to leave his mark at MB with a new design language. I think cars like the Kia and Hyundai coming out with quasi E-Class and C sedanesque headlights also had an impact on the death of the much prefered round lights. I love em.

So if its not going to debut until September, does that mean its going to be 2008 (delivery starting in May/June)?

There was no word when the W204 would be in the US. Based on past introductions it will probably be in the spring of 2007 as a 2008 model in the US

"Additional spy photos taken away from the test track reveal a modest rear-end design that incorporates some elements of the latest S-Class. A quick shot of another prototype with the hood open revealed nothing shocking as it looked to have Mercedes' latest 3.5-liter V6 providing the power. Assume there will be the usual options for either manual or automatic transmissions."
