I hope you're right, I'm hating the interior!

Sideview mirrors

I think that the large sideview mirrors are from the new Euro regulations on visibility. They come quite ugly, but you are going to see them all over on future euro imports.

Just thought I would mention that emercedesbenz ran the pics and gave a nod to the photographer, even linked back to this post. Not bad.

I like the pop up navigation screen in the new car. The exposed one that I got would get real dusty after a while and there's no way to turn off the display screen.

The pop up navigation screen solves all that

W203 is nice but there are too many of them on the road. I plan to replace my W203 with the W204 in a couple of years.

If you look at this picture and the picture of the benz sitting in the background to the left on the first picture in this thread, the car looks almost identical. Could that be an undisguised C class? Does anyone know what model that is?

It would of been funny if you had tried to rip off the siding and tape off the car. Partially exposing the car while hurringly taking pictures. Sounds like car molestation. lol

I'm so sick of MB being soo freakishly paranoid. BMW didn't do this did they? oh well

that's a W221 S-Class (new 2007 S-Class)

and yes, BMW is just as paranoid.

the only thing fuglier than that exterior is the interior... i mean really it looks like an acura's dash or something. this is one of the reasons why i'm probably going to get an M3 instead of another C-class for my next car.

I'm sure the W204 will be somehthin else, it will probably be different then the pictures shown here. I hope they fix the inerior a little.
But all i know is that i would buy a W204 C63 over any M3 any day of my life!
