2017 W205 - C Class
Some details are emerging for the MY2017 C Class. It appears the headlights are getting an update. No information yet on engines or interior updates.

why do the headlights have the twin light tube like the e-class, the whole point of the e-class having that is to be a nod to the old e-class' that had 4 headlights. I don't like that look at all. doesn't look that mean

The new chrome accents on the side of the car and on the front lower bumper, I'm not liking that.

No difference I can see other than headlights. Might finally see the integrated screen but as I'm likely going back to Bmw it's not going to matter to me. Fed up with the poor drivetrain no matter how pretty the car looks.

Not a fan of the headlights, prefer the 2016 version.
Integrated screen would be nice, but given the C43 Coupe that's already been revealed without it, that's doubtful.

C450, GLS 63 and a few other things
2018 makes sense for a mid model refresh.
EDIT: Should add my info is not based upon any facts I have, but there is no way it would make sense for 2016 model run to go ANOTHER 15 months from now,

I agree. Those headlights look like cheap crap.
I think I'm one of the few that actually likes the minimalist free-floating screen in the W205...very modern IMO.
All I know is if I were to be in the market for another C300 or better someday and it doesn't have the 9G transmission, I'll be buying some other brand.

Yup .. with sticky tape to boot 
They are the new multi-beam units which were talked about being in development even when the W205 came out. I hope they're not going to fit the exact same lights as on the E - the two cars are way too similar as it is.

AFAIK our ILS multi beam are comprised of two light modules with tilt shift lenses. The new multi beam uses an LED matrix which can switch off pixels of light to create far more detailed black areas.

Not to the same extent. Our are equipped with twelve LEDs. In its basic function, the headlamp is run by eight LEDs. The residual four LEDs of this module support the second projector module in generating the high beam.
The new multi beam ones have 84 led matrix.
It's just like HD-TV

yeah, there is no way this appears before late 2017 or 2018 most likely... The 17 model run starts up in August or so. As far as the trim, the little chrome trim on the bumper looks a little odd/retro..
