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.
