W204 in Malaysia
Click to enlarge

This W204 C-Class was spotted in Glenmarie by reader Stephen near the Mercedes-Benz warehouse, which means we’ll be able to see the new C-Class on our roads soon. You can see another one somewhere in the background.

This particular model has the classic grille, but there is another sportier version of the grille with a large Mercedes-Benz badge smack in the middle. You’ll see it in the Anything you can do I can do better advertisement posted here earlier this week, on the C-Class driven by Alonso.

For now, read more on the W204 in the related links below, especially the sexy Brabus-kitted C-Class.

    i was near the mercedes showroom, by the federal highway, just about 12, and i saw the new c-class being delivered, i counted 3 of them, parked outside the showroom. couldn’t get to snap pics, no hp camera :( ..

    what i can say is, that in person, it looks destinctly larger than its predecessor..

    Looks nicer than the beemer 3-series. Hope it will come with adaptive dampers as standard.

    lets see how DC prices the car…..

    Great C-class. I’d love to land my arse on the AMG tuned one. Yeah something like the one driven by Alonso.That’s just darn superb !!

    Anyway how much should i pay to take ownership of this motorcar.I mean if in Malaysia.

    Don’t need the AMG, if only I can own a basic W204….its a dream come through. FYI there is a nice new C-class advertisement in uk tv, featuring a white C-class driving down a road, changing into smoke and school of silvery fishes – wonder if Paul can bring it in. Happy ‘MERDEKA DAY’ to all Malaysian.

    IMHO this car probably the best looking merc car, other than W203. maybe it’s just me, but looked kinda smaller than the W203. a lot of German engineers running around in the plant right now. Currently, we are in the phase of installing the frt suspension system for the pilot unit.

    Odd thing is the sample unit they gave us is a left side driver. I asked my acquaintances in DCM on the reason why, but nobody can give me an answer. But it still looked nice though.

    If it’s straight from Germany, it’s probably bcos the Germans drive on the left side.

    True, but we don’t drive on the left side. AFAIK, in Europe only in Britain is driven on RHS. As if there is a deviation of quality between German & other regions of the world.

    nice catch. nice ride really.Mercedes just can’t making great new toys.hence, i’d gladly settle my debt to myself with a V36 anytime.

    I’m loving Merc’s design these days. Getting better with each product. New C looks fine, especially in AMG trim.
