#429 of 441 2006 & Dec 2006 Sales by merc1 Jan 03, 2007 (9:53 pm)
Press Release   Mercedes sold 248,080 vehicles in 2006 including 146 Maybachs. Surprisingly with all the new models compared to Dec 2005 sales were down 10 percent on a month vs. month basic for Dec.   M Replies to this message: albell (Jan 04, 2007 5:48 am) merc1 (Jan 04, 2007 9:22 pm)

Replying to: merc1 (Jan 03, 2007 9:53 pm) Y'know, except for the S and GL -- which seem to have driven most of the increase -- looking at these numbers, I find little for MB to crow about. Most models are down compared to last year, and many by significant percentages. Replies to this message: merc1 (Jan 04, 2007 9:22 pm)

Replying to: albell (Jan 04, 2007 5:48 am) Yeah their Dec numbers should have been much better than last year considering all the new models this year compared to last. The SL and E particularly should have done better this year considering they have a facelift. Still though, 30K S-Classes at 90K a pop on average, someone is printing money. If only the R could sell like the ML and GL then they would really have seen some big growth. I thought they'd at least get to 260K units in 2006, but nope.   M

Some pics have leaked out from a 08 C-Class brocure:             It appears the Sport versions get the same grille as the SL/CL/CLK.   M

C-Class unveiling live on the Internet   The countdown has began for the world premiere of the new C-Class in the Mercedes World in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim. The press conference, which will be attended by some 600 journalists from around the world on 18th January 2007 can be seen live on the internet from 7:00 to 7:40pm (CET) by using a link that will be provided by DCX in the coming hours. Following the event various text and photo materials relating to the new C-Class will also be available on here on the DaimlerChrysler Media Site, along with pictures of the world premiere.   There is nothing we can do, other than look at the leaked C-Class photos, or wait and make sure to come back to BenzInsider at 7pm (CET) for the link to the live show. Just an important FYI for everyone; CET means (Central European Time), so if you live in the following areas, these are the times to come back.   East-Coast (e.g. New York) - 1pm West-Coast (e.g. Seattle) - 10am West-Central (e.g. Denver) - 11am East-Central (e.g. Chicago) - 12pm   Link   M

#436 of 441 2008 C-Class U.S. Specs by merc1 Feb 01, 2007 (10:11 pm)
They have been posted (at least partially) on MBUSA.com:   Available in two unique models — sport sedan and luxury sedan — the all-new C-Class offers an impressive list of exciting features, including:       * A choice of two V-6 engines (3.0 or 3.5 liter sport sedan and 3.0 liter luxury sedan)     * Standard 7-speed automatic transmission (optional on C300 Sport Sedan)     * Standard 8-way power driver and passenger seats     * Adaptive brakes     * Standard dual-zone automatic climate control     * Burl Walnut trim (luxury sedan) or Aluminum trim (sport sedan)     * DIRECT CONTROL adaptive suspension system with selective damping for comfort and handling     * Standard Bluetooth® connectivity     * Aggressive AMG bodystyling on sport sedan models     * Standard power sunroof     * Seven standard air bags     * Standard PRE-SAFE® occupant protection system     * Adaptive suspension system     * 17-inch twin-spoke aluminum wheels (Optional 18-inch twin-spoke aluminum wheels on C300 and C350 Sport Sedans)     * Optional standard 4MATIC™ all-wheel drive (availability scheduled for fall 2007)   2008 C-Class   That is a lot of standard equipment for a C-Class, hope the base prices stay realistic.   M

Replying to: merc1 (Feb 01, 2007 10:31 pm) Good to see that they've renamed the C280 as the C300. As an owner of the 2006 C280, I get tired of having it confused with the previous version of this car - which is really no comparison. With the 3-liter engine, not sure why they didn't do it earlier.   Anyway... looks like a solid, continued improvement.
