C Class Facelift spied

I didn't like the lights on the new E-Class, I think they look awful here.

Personally I like them looks wise, capability wise they'll be a lot better than the current technology so bring it on, I'm hanging in and patiently waiting for the post mid life updated C205 to emerge

I wonder what this test mule is all about anyway it's still too early for a 205 series update it should feature a lot more changes than just the head lights.

Might not be a full facelift just yet. Maybe they're just bringing the Multibeam LED's to the current 205? We can only comment and speculate

I also sort of agree with the OP, I'm a fan of the new lights, think they look nice on the new E, but they look a bit 'off' here on the C class, much prefer the current look of the ILS (One reason why I'm glad to not be waiting for the lci amg coupe )

That's fair enough as long as everybody is happy with exactly what their wanting it's all good but I dare say I'll bet you will want one of the later production releases when they eventually arrive as they are going to feature a lot of desirable upgrades, worth the wait IMHO especially if like myself your going to buy and keep long term

Hopefully AWD at facelift on the AMG. I am possibly considering the GLC63 when my lease is it.

This ^^^

That's exactly what I'm talking about with regards to the mechanical upgrades, there's now more than ever a very real possibility that we may see AWD offered at least as an option on the AMG C63 sedan and coupe variants

That coupled to the new 9spd as well and offering a driver mode which can send 100% of the torque to the rear wheels (as is the case for the new upcoming E Class AMG's) best of all Worlds and exactly what I'm wanting

If not I may very well switch over to the new E63S coupe when it arrives.

AWD C63 isn't happening anytime soon. Tobias has already stated that the C63 and AMG GTS will always stay RWD only.

Yes indeed, a little bit of spilled insider info is always a bug to bear with the traditionalists and those of little faith, you know there's that age old saying "never say never"

I'm inclined to agree with texasmade, I'm not a traditionalist by any means, and while the C63 does in some ways beg to be given AWD it just wouldn't suit the nature and character of the car (even if it was a rear biased awd setup).
However, seeing as how Mercedes is diluting the brands left and right, "never say never" as AV1 said.

The benefits of working at a dealer. You usually have equity in the car for about a year because of the pricing model. After a year and 10-12k, your pay off is usually near or break even. You get out and lease something new.
