The location of the nav screen looks similar to the Infiniti G35. I like the current flush look of the W203 nav screen. I'm looking forward to seeing the real detailed pictures.

The exterior resembles a baby S-Class W221. Can't wait to see the unveiled product.

Don't get me wrong. I am curious based on which particular portion from the spy interior that you believe it is a good upgrade from current?

That speedo with the display screen in the middle is cool.. I am not fond of the current display, its very small, also the pop up Nav is sweet.

Hard to see much else..

i'm glad they're bringing back the bigger spedometer display - the new ones are too small for my taste...

If ABC is not to be incorporated into the 2008 C-Class, does anybody know what other new technology from the S-class will be injected to the W204? Traditionally, S-class technoogy always go to the C-class.
(E90 has CBC, DBC and DSC and a 6speed/Manual, W203 only has ESP as an equivalence of DSC) Do we already know if LSD will be in the C63? I can't imagine a 6.2 litre C-class (assuming there is ) even though it is detuned to 410hp to match M3 E90. W204 has got to have dual sunroof this time!

I concur. The pop-up nav screen doesn't look very clean. Would this be the first AMG to have to pop-up Nav?

I'm going to reserve final judgement until we see more actual pictures.

I happen to really dig the popup display, because it brings the nav much closer to eye level. I don't like having to look down in my C32, and this looks like it might halve the current distance and support peripheral-motion-vision safety when looking at it.
