For those of you who havent seen them, here are the pics leaked from the brochure of the facelift model. I'm not sure what I think yet. Need better pics.

Alessandro · 12-22-2010, 06:52 AM

Here they are!

The Merc C is nice but doesn't stand out at all.

blue2fire · 12-22-2010, 07:35 AM

I like the interior a lot and equally loathe the new Headlights. It does not go with the basic "straight" character of the original design of the car.

Agree! Interior looks great! But i'm waiting to see the C63

Good grief - BARF

WTF is going on with MB. Did MB hire some former Dodge designers for this?

335iMIAMI · 12-22-2010, 10:18 AM

Way nicer than the 3 that's for sure.

majin ssj eric · 12-22-2010, 10:20 AM

Wow, I much prefer the current C-class headlights to these new ones....

jetblk328i · 12-22-2010, 10:48 AM

hmmm the lights remind me of an infiniti M, but the new interior is an improvement.

stickypaws · 12-22-2010, 11:56 AM

Agree with what almost everybody else is pretty much saying: headlights are iffy, but the interior is a major improvement. I think MB was listening to complaints about the C's lackluster and spartan interior.

Daimler seems to listen. There's a special forum run by them for AMG owners only, and they are always asking questions and setting up polls. So they do seem to listen and then fix stuff.... (case in point: when the new W212 E63 came out they had eliminated the alcantara headliner. People screamed and now it's back for the 2011+ models.)

EXACTLY what I thought. The current one looks nice, even if boring

night and day from the prior

I'm glad that MB has yet to change their seat controls on the door. I loved them ever since they were introduced. So much better than having to reach down and making adjustments.

Los Angeles · 12-22-2010, 01:06 PM

Everything looks good except for the wheels.

nightfx · 12-22-2010, 01:10 PM

I like the current headlights a lot more, still a good looking car though.

gaifaun · 12-22-2010, 02:01 PM

i thought the facelifted C class i've been seeing these past few months already has LED light stirps down on the bottom of the bumper? now they have LED strip in the headlights as well? man, MB and their LED game. boo for copying audi.

escobar929 · 12-22-2010, 02:13 PM

i kinda digging the changes

I know you're joking. Nobody's that dumb or blind to mistake these two interiors. I lol'd real good.

krnboy817 · 12-22-2010, 02:36 PM

man what happened to the flip up screen? that was like the center piece for the whole interior "ta da~" thing.

and i really hope they upgraded the leather in the interior too. it was way too thin and cheap feel. it was the change for the worse not better
(comparing from my 2006 c class to 2008~present c class)

and i really hope to see some wagons actually available for purchase.

hks786 · 12-22-2010, 06:03 PM

At first I thought I'd hate the headlights but I said that about the facelifted SL and it looks great. It's funny because recently I've been thinking the C-class headlights are quite bulky compared to the sleek A4 and 3 series sedan. I think these new lights will look more smooth and match the rest of the car better.

One thing I hate though is the big chrome LED things replacing fogs. They stand out so much and are so long.

I really like the new interior too. At first I used to like the C-class interior but I'm not a fan of the quality (except C63 seats etc.) but this new facelift looks really good. Even better than E90 to me. Anyway, need to see the full sport bodykit trim and better wheels to get a better idea.
