Justin, you should make a call to Von Housen... they are starting a guest list for the release party. The date is TBA, but it will be in mid-august. Get on the list and youll get an invite via mail when they send them out.
I havent had any desire whatsover to delve into the world of car payments....BUT if this car shows improvement in build qaulity and mechanical/electrical durability it may fit the bill as a graduation present to myself when I am through with college. By that time the w204 will be in the beginning of its 3rd year of production, allowing some time for the typical first production year "bugs" to be worked out, and perhaps some technical and equipment enhancements to be added.
I prefer the more edgy look of the Sport model over the more luxury oriented Elegance model. Make mine a C350 Sport in Midnight/Black Tex
I cant find the direct link, but MB's W204 world premiere show is avail for viewing somewhere on the MB int. site.
