Well the new C-Class Premiered in Mühldorf today and I was up there checking them out. I didn't bother taking that many pictures since the place was crowded with visitors.

I finally got to try the rear seats of the C-Class. This was really perfect today because people would sit infront and try the drivers seat and I would quickly sneak into the back and see how I fitted. Well, I am 6'4" tall and I am sorry to report that the rear passenger compartment of the W204 C-Class is still pretty small. The rear of my head bumps against the ceiling and my legs barely fit - and the front seat wasn't even positioned all the way back too! If you're tall, forget it. Other than that, the rest of the car seemed perfectly fine. I am really diggin the Avantgarde version. Just sexy.

Classic: Not much to say here. This is the basic trim car designed for taxi, police and business fleet usage. What the car lacks on the outside, it somewhat makes up for on the inside. The interior is just as good as the Elegance or Avantgarde models, but less visually appealing (different steering wheel etc.). I didn't spend too much time in the base version.

Elegance: I'll skip the exterior (since it is nice) and go right to the interior. The wood trim adds a nice touch, but I felt that the Avantgarde version looked much better with the use of aluminum. By the way, I think the Elegance version can look really hot with the proper rims for example. Like this one:

Avantgarde: My favorite trim level. Visually, this version is just stunning. Sleek, dynamic, classy and conservative looking. I love it. The interior looks even better than the Elegance version with wood. I feel that the brushed aluminum has a nice sporty presence inside the W204 cockpit.

Here are the pictures. Feel free to ask questions!

PS: TESTDRIVES START NEXT WEEK (NOT THIS COMING WEEK)!!!

THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. I STOPPED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE PREPARING THE SHOWROOM FOR TODAY. SAW MY FIRST ELEGANCE W204 C-CLASS!
