A cloth interior? Say it isn't so! And is that a Bangle-ized center console control wheel like the ill-fated BMW thing?
I'm hoping that's an OPTION....or something simple like an iPod controller...

Notice that those are EURO spec cars; missing front side marker. And as we all know, EURO spec cars always come in different/more flavors when compared to US spec cars.

2008 C-Class info on MBUSA:

Standard Bluetooth, sunroof etc...

Has anyone heard anything about a coupe version ? I don't mean the CLK but a replacement for the sportscoupe. I've seen pictures on the internet but haven't heard anything weather or not we will be getting it. Hopefully it makes it to Canada !

I'm still not feelin' that. . .

It kinda reminds me of the situation w/ the passats. I got the B5.5 which was a body style up to about '04 or '05 which sold a ton. Then vw restyled and made the b6, and I think its been a flop.

I like the panoramic sunroof on the 4 door on the car on the left. I'm curious too about that round controller in front of the arm rest, probably helps you navigate through the GPS (hope that is a major improvement over past versions). Still don't like the analog control style controller of the temp controls (round temperature selection) but prefer the one I have on mine which has up/down arrows to increase/decrease temp. Think the pop up navigation is a good idea (closer to window so not as distracted) but that leaves the place where it used to be located very simple/plain looking.

Still think the headlights are going in the wrong direction, hopefully they won't do this to the SL which is my current dream car (and one day hopefully will get).

MBUSA added some basic info to their site under future models. It says that there will be C300 and C350 sport and luxury models. Not sure if I like the C300 name it sounds wierd.

sucks that they took away the 6-speed for the C350.

I just read the MBUSA info more carefully...C350 will only be available on the Sport sedan. Whats up with that??

Yup, I thought it was strange too...why wouldn't they make a C350 luxury version as well. Also, if it was only going to be sport, why can the manual transmission?

I like the interior, but have to wait till I see the car to see if I will like it or not

"Standard 8-way power driver and passenger seats"

It's about time...

Hello from Greece, excuse me for my poor English ;-)

The previous, w203 model, was "Much" more beautiful.

I don't know what are they thinking (Daimler chrysler ) but... this model looks like -Hyuindai accent- to me.

i thought the website indicates "7G-tronic will be an option on C350"

standard 7-speed automatic (optional on C300 Sport Sedan).

hmmm actually not that bad....looks more 'grown up car' than the current w203.but i do like the set of options and standard equipment....maybe ill wait for the 2nd or 3rd revision to hop in one...once again...it looks like a baby S-class

I feel like MBUSA doesn't really care about their customers unless there is a large volume potential for a model. Yes, the AMG cars are few but the prices are way up there for what you get.
I have never been more satisfied with a car than my 06 C350. It has great performance without having to have a V8. Now, I have no choice for a luxury model other than accepting 40 hp less.
Yes, I dould get the sport version but i have had very bad experiences with low profile tire models. My CLK 430 and E430 with low profile tires had very harsh rides and excessive road noise. Although it didn't happen to me I have friends with low profile tires who ruined tires and rims by going through chuck holes.
I know that the dealers don't want the C350 luxury models since they were so hard to sell but the W204 C350 luxury models should be available on special order. I always special order anyway so what's the problem MB?

Just looking at the interior styling it appears they need a couple of Italians on the payroll.

Glad to see that they've added power seats and sunroof as standard! Also, from the previous press materials, it seemed as if the "sport" models did not come with AMG styling, but I see MBUSA has decided they better.

After a while of looking at the w204, I think I'm starting to like it.

No more C230? Does it mean the price on entry model will increase?

mercedes is really taking luxury out of the interior....I guess there must be a fire sale for cheap japanese plastic.

Wow! so it seems like they are going to put the AMG styling on "sport" models. If I could afford an AMG I would be mad but since I can't I am happy.

I am not in love yet with the new styling but having the option to get the AMG body will help big time.

The standard stuff looks cool and I can't wait to see how much HP these new models will have.

Kind of sad to see the C230 go away, I might rebadge my W203 to say C300 now!!!! JK LOL

actually the headlights look like an is300 to me. i really dont like the steering wheel because im more partial to the sportier 3-spoke.
