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

That is a lot of standard equipment for a C-Class, hope the base prices stay realistic.

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.

As I understand it, the main differences are the engine, of course, and the options packages are all standard.
 
As you know, Mercedes is notorious for expensive option packages and accessories that escalate the prices of its vehicles.
 
If you took the GL450 and started equipping it like the GL550, you would see how rapidly and significantly the price jumps.
 
BTW, the '08 GL550 has the new more aggressive front end with that larger front grill. I like it.
