Here is the production model in "Sport" trim level. Sport models recieve the grille monted 3-Pointed Star. "Elegance" models feature the traditional 3-Pointed Star on the hood. MB has done a very nice job of bringing back the class, definition, and boldness in design that I felt was lost with the W203; A return to angular lines, chiseled profiles, attention to detail, and well balanced proportions. A car that appears signifigantly more imposing, sporting, and refined than its predecessor.
The first C-Class I have fallen in love with since the W202.
Stunning.
The first models will be avail at my local showroom in mid-august. You can bet I will be there to check it out!
