2004 Mercedes C Class.

The 2004 Mercedes C Class.

Hey GTO, *The C i seen in Bandra had the same clear lens lights.

The engine line-up now includes the supercharged 192bhp 230K unit, previously only offered in the Sport Coupe but now available in the saloon and estate as well, and the output of the C220 CDI diesel has been increased to 150bhp. UK buyers are also offered the supercharged C180 K, C200 K and the C 320 petrol units and the C 200 CDI and C270 CDI diesels, as well as the 367bhp C55 AMG. Specification levels have been improved, which offsets the slight price rise for this new range, and options packs have been simplified. The C-Class isn't cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but it looks better value than ever.

44 versions costing from £20,020 to £45,420.

So when is it coming to India?? I guess very soon. Cos Mercedes is always the first to get its new models here.

And GTO, when are you upgrading to the new C[230??] or the ..............C55 AMG???

Wow, what a stunner! I am blown away by the new design steering wheel and gearknob!! Even the clear lamps totally change the front personality of the car. Though the interiors look largely unchanged, there are subtle differences like rearrangement of the gauges and LCD readout. Even the air-con controls look much better with those meaty rotary knobs.

Hey, isnt it the C32 AMG? I thought the 55 linkage was limited to the E55 AMG?

Mama Mia

The new C is certainly a stunner. Mercedes has worked well on the 04 C. The facia is better looking and I love that new steering wheel. Wonder what engine options, the Indian consumer will have at is disposal. And whats the pricing gona be like

Cheers

No M5, the 5.5L engine option is available in all the Merc models. The SL55, S55, E55, G55, CL55 etc etc
