It's just a rendering; we already know what the upcoming revisions will look like.

Hi guys,
I'm sure they will bring the diesel engines to the U.S. I also hope the C300 will be up to 240hp, C350 will be 292hp.This is just my wishful thinking. However, please remember that the new 3er will be out in the 2011/2012 time frame, so Mecedes has to keep the C fresh and interesting. The main competition would be fuel efficiency.

Der OM642 V6-CDI wird im C 350 CDI dann 252 PS und 700 NM leisten. Die neuen 4-Zylinder Turbo-Benzindirekteinspritzer sollen noch 2009 folgen. Es handelt sich um den C 250 CGI mit 204 PS (1,8 Liter), den C 200 CGI (1,8 Liter) und den C 180 CGI mit 156 PS und 1,6 Liter Hubraum. Das Interieur wird deutlich aufgewertet und am E-Klasse Coupé angelehnt. Der Comand-Display wird dann fest installiert sein. Des Weiteren erhält die C-Klasse dann neue Assistenzsysteme wie Attention Assist und Distronic Plus mit Totwinkelassistent.
New engines:

C 63 AMG will get a new V8 BiTurbo - then it is named 55 AMG again.

OM642 V6-CDI (E 350 CDI) with around 252 hp and 700 (!!) Nm

and some new 4-cylinder engines.

Thanks ree for the info. Do you know what new engines will come to the U.S ? I think they will bring the C 250 CDI to the U.S , not the C 350 CDI. Other than that the C300 and C350 gas engines will be tuned to have a slight increase in horsepowers.

I translate the JESMB info posted by ree:

We will see, still in 2009, the new family of direct-injection 4 cylinder petrol engines: two 1.8l, as 250CGI 204hp and 200CGI, and one 1.6l, the 180CGI with 156hp.

The FL is coming at the beginning of 2011.

A C55 AMG (Bi-turbo V8 based on the new M278 V8) will replace the C63, with well ahead of 400hp. The OM642 350cdi will develop 252hp and 700Nm of torque.

The C-Class will get the new electronic gizmos, such as Attention Assyst, Distronic Plus, Blind-Spot Assyst.

LED DRL, new bumpers.

The more important: the interior will be significantly upgraded, very similar to the E-Coupe. The GPS screen will be fixed, not retractable any more.

Very good news for the upgraded interior. It's the only weakpoint of that otherwise stunning car!

Wow that means it will be a 2012 model here in the U.S. Should have been 2011, making the 2010 model (on the lots now) the last one before the facelift.
