It seems that cars are getting taller. In part, it's the European pedestrian protection requirements (making hoodlines higher), and I guess from there the whole car gets taller to match. Have you seen the newer Infinitis? They look like SUVs. And maybe that's part of the design evolution. As SUVs take over, cars are actually trending taller. They used to say that an SUV was "car-like." Now they'll say cars are "SUV-like."

I think it actually looks better than some of the earlier spy pics. I'll get a 250 / 300 4MATIC lease for winter.

According to the article the info. is about a week old and is a "world premiere". I didn't know the forum next door was so far ahead. All I've seen around are spy pics and rumors.... Guess we're not all as informed as you.

I'm just trying to say there's no need to start a new thread since we have an official one with tons of pictures and info. There's a reason mods kept merging threads started by people who didn't care to look around before starting a new thread.

ditto. there have been so many threads about this and each one gets merged. b uti fyou dont know you dont know.

i spend way more time on the W203 C Class forum than i do on the C32/C55 AMG so i know it's been around for a long time.
