Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / June 2007New C-class
Just in the news today: Set to arrive in U.S. Mercedes-Benz dealerships on August 7, the next- generation 2008 C-Class sedan is larger than its highly successful predecessor, with a greater emphasis on driving dynamics, comfort and safety. The C300 Sport and Luxury models will be available with an all new 4MATIC all- wheel-drive system mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission starting in September. >Just in the news today: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >new 4MATIC all- wheel-drive system mated to a seven-speed automatic >transmission starting in September.

Why did MB drop the C-class wagon a few years ago? I actually thought it looked better than the sedan! Perhaps they see it as a market the new GLK-class will cover. >> On Thu, 28 Jun 2007 22:46:56 +0200, "Dutch-Diver" >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >size wagons here. Why did MB drop the C-class wagon a few years ago? >I actually thought it looked better than the sedan! Agreed. I have a 2002 C320 wagon that has been trouble-free but we would like AWD (not available in 2002) and new. May keep it but would like an option. >Perhaps they see it as a market the new GLK-class will cover. Eh. If I wanted an SUV, I'd have many options. SUVs do not offer, in a reasonable package, the physical configuration that I need . Kal I bet it's now the same size as the W123... Funny how the ads shown in GB feature the version without the upright star.
