Its not true 3d, atleast not in the traditional 3D movie/TV kind of way.
It's basically a method of split screening, showing two different images based on the angle of viewing, while still allowing whomever is looking at the screen to utilize the entire screen.
So a passenger can watch a movie or whatever, while the driver still see's the radio/nav/whatever, all on the same screen. Does not require glasses![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I have no looked at the article, but that is my guess, based on the fact that this tech is showing up in more and more cars lately.

So...was wondering whether i'd buy the only pre-owned E63 (W212) in finland or order a new C. C it is. Although i'm quite sure it's a more fun car to drive
I suppose the estate version feels just as good as the sedan?

C63 AMG(sold), 2009 CL550, 2010 S550 Majestic Black, 2010 ML550, 2006 C230, 2009 Venza
Most likely trade in my 08 for a brand new 2012
. I think Mercedes has finally started to listen to the owners. Hopefully the wheel offsets is the same as the current model so I can just swap from one car to the other. Does anybody know if this new model will finally have a decent adjustable suspension?
Love it!

No, the suspension will most likely not be adjustable. Only adjustable suspensions so far have been the airmatics and that is not the option here. Maybe they have figured something else though, like the BMW EDC. Based on the pictures there however is no button for it, as it would be most likely be placed right next to the gear shifter.

No specs regarding weight have been given so far. The new C-class with a 250 CDI engine weighs 1675 kg (whatever that is in pounds), whereas the pre-facelift model with the same engine weighs 1735 kg. This would indicate that the base models at least have lost some weight, so it would be logical to assume the same goes for the AMG model.

Ok. Ah, i checked the estate weight. Could have been worth to mention...
Anyway, after comparing the facelift info to some info on pre-owned cars, the weight seems to be the same, at least for the C350. So apparently no weight reduction after all. But the biggest change seems to be the tranny. Is it heavier or lighter than the old one?

Yeah, that's true.
A question of taste: Would a matte black C63 look good with the matte black wheels seen on the pictures of the white one? Or is it too...mafioso'ish :P I really want a matte black paint, but on the other hand if a rock from a car in the front hits the hood or any other place with pain it's gonna leave a nasty white dot...

Upkeep could indeed be a b!tch.Here in Finland they also put a lot of salt on the road which makes the snow all slushy and leaves a real mess on the car that basically only goes away by using some strong tar remover. I wonder how the paint reacts. Maybe it just simply is too much trouble, not to talk about the 8k pricetag ( € ).
Thanks for the input!

I just know that i can't use wax...or actually i do not need to use regular wax, and can not use hot wax as it will damage the matte color and make it more reflective. That'd suck. I did however start thinking of other designo colors that would make it unique without all the trouble

I really don’t understand all the hype about the new model, Personally I hate the Pep boys special led lights, the car is not aggressive. I hate the civic like two tone seats and the long strip along the dash. I guess they are really marketing the car towards the younger generation. The only thing I like is maybe the trans but I have a huge concern as to how much power it can hold however we will only know that over time. Otherwise I think those have the 09,10 or 2011 may have the best looking c63 that was and will ever be made.
