Guys, I stopped by the local Mercedes-Benz dealership this afternoon and look what was up at the dealership.
THIS! 
Ok, so it looks pretty basic because it is a
Classic trim level C-Class, but I came away with a good impression of the car.
First off, compared to the W203, the W204 looks a little more compact and sleeker. Interesting how they managed to squeeze more interior space out of this thing. The car looks pretty good, and this was a base model
Classic version. Overall, the design looks fantastic in person. I just wish this were an
Elegance or
Avantgarde version for the
Classic version still looks pretty empty and lacking in something. Overall though, sleek and dynamic looking.
The interior was the surprising part. The pictures cannot convey the quality look to it. I was pleasantly surprised from the visual aspect of the interior. The design is pretty cool and the dark plastics used look much more HQ than the plastics used in the W203. Also, there's more chrome or chrome imitating plastic on the inside which gives a more upscale impression. Looking good in this department.
More pictures!
