Anyone heard any news about pricing levels for the '03 MY? I have a new C 230 Sport Coupe on order, however I'm curious how big a check I'll need to write.

I've heard two stories... 1. We're going to get hammered with a large increase because of the weak dolar/strong euro or... 2. Not much movement from last year because MB wants to keep the 230 Kompressor a reasonalbly priced entry point to attract customers to the MB family who then might trade up to a more expensive model in a few years.

Car is being built as we speak and should show up in Chicago mid August, but I'd love some advanced info if anyone has heard anything solid.
