Well, they look a lot better in person than they do in videos and in pictures. The front-end appears much more aggressive in styling in person and the cars have a sort of distinct nose on them because the grille protrudes out a bit further from the headlights than it used to in the past. Interior appears to be the same as the 2013's. Front-end is pretty stylish looking. SPORT is the black car, Luxury is the white car. See pics

One more pic

Notice the rake difference of the grilles between the luxury and the sport.

I didnt notice it before but for those of us that like the standing star it looks like you can still install one if you wish.
Were both cars P1?

OnlyGerman

not too bad !

Nuru

you know, I don't remember if they were P1 or not. I totally forgot to look for that or ask the sales staff. I will ask next week and get back to you all I may have more pics to share next week.

Nuru

Yes, they definitely look much better in person. I should have taken some shots of the interiors. Maybe I will next week.

Thanks for the pics, Elegance is the way to go no matter what

I have to get MB credit, those cars almost look like concept cars by the front ends vs cars you expect to see on the street - the styling on the front end looks dramatically different in person. Once a lot of people start seeing these cars in person on the road, their sales should be pretty good. I saw these cars and I started talking with two dealers about trading in the cars I am considering buying right now in 2 years to get one of these facelift models

Thanks for the pics. Interior materials are the same as the pre-facelift? And are they really using reflector bulbs on such an expensive car? That would be ridiculous. I just can't get over how haphazard the design is now. No cohesion between the entirely new front language and comparatively boxy, rigidly angular now-starkly older language of the rest of the car. Pre facelift at least comparatively caries one language.

Are these at dealers yet? Wanna really check one out for myself.

Thank you for the photos. Which dealers, Country, did you see the cars?
thanks.

K-A, as in my first post, these were at one of my local dealer's lot. I saw these myself while shopping for another car. I walked around the cars and they have these out front and people are flocking to see them.

When I say the interior is the same, I am saying it looks just like the 2013 interior, but I am not saying that it has the same bulbs. Also the car looks very good and while I will agree that the front is pretty dramatic, compared to the back, it actually seems to work.

. These particular cars are located within the US, A number of larger US dealers should be receiving these cars.

According to http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...k/viewall.html, the gear shift has moved back to the steering column. Is this the case?

Mine came in yesterday, pick it up tomorrow.

These are both sedans, I did not see any coupes.

I've been to two dealers in northern Illinois this past week and they both had a fair amount of 2013s. Seems kind of early for them to be delivering 2014 cars - but I imagine this could be a killer time to buy a 2013. Much more, if I'm right, I wonder what would that do to the price of a first generation CPO car?

looking forward to hearing your impressions

Nuru

I think that will build and really go over the top by September when the 2014s are going on sale. Apparently this dealer has enough juice with MB to get these cars on site just to show them off and pile up orders.

I can't believe MB would use a reflector housing on the non xenon headlights.

The Orlando dealer (Maitland) has a 2014 sport and a luxury side by side...saw them today.

Helmar

Any guess as to when they'll be buildable at mbusa.com?

The rear shot of the white car looks very bland. Much prefer the pre-FL rear lights. The front is also disappointing on both models. I don't like the protruding 'nose' effect from the side.

I guess I'll have to see them in the flesh to really judge. I'll probably change my mind (as will K-A).

Tempted to get a leftover 2013. If only we could get these 20% off deals. We'd never get that in Canada.

BM2BZ

they said late april on the site.

K-A

Agreed, WIG. The rear is taxi cab bland, IMO. Gonna go look at some today. Maybe it'll make sense to me in person. I'd like to see one side by side with the pre facelift if possible.
