Yeah that is sort of troubling isn't it? For some reason every year Mercedes has a terrible January, especially in the U.S. They went from over 31,000 sales in Dec 05 to 12,000 in Jan 06'. Now some of this is of course because all the special lease deals are pulled for the new year, but still. That is like a 1/3 of the volume from a month prior!

Fear not Edmunds say that the new C will be show at Paris in Sept:

I can nearly see the real shape in this pic, its a baby S-Class again it seems.

Yeah, they do need it desperately, but i'm sure that waiting so long for a new C will pay well, i'm sure they'll make a hell of a one.

Loooks like we'll see the car at the end of this year, much the same as we saw the new S at the end of last year. It also looks as if the design will be quite different from that of what we see on the S. Take for instance the tailamps, which on the S they're more hushed and subtle, here more emphasis has been placed upon them given their larger size and unique trapezoidal shape.

I believe you are. It won't be the standard engine though.

No, the 3.5 and new 5.0 V8 all share the same engine cover. That's all.

I was actually looking at the almost undisguised shape of the lights and not the engine lol. You can clearly see the shape of the front lights....not that you didnt know what they were going to look like...
