Mercedes Benz C-Class

DaimlerChrysler Malaysia has put up a teaser site for the new W204 Mercedes Benz C-Class called C-For-Yourself. Apparently some showrooms already have a W204 on display. There is one on display at Cycle’s Mutiara Damansara showroom tonight at 7pm, and it will be on display at Cycle’s showroom on the Federal Highway on Saturday.

Features highlighted on the teaser site include Agility Control which automatically controls the two-mode suspension system, and the 7G-Tronic 7-speed automatic. There is also an optional dynamic handling package which lets you switch between a sporty or comfort suspension setup at a touch of a button. The sporty mode also modifies accelerator response and gear change time.

This should mean the W204 will be launched pretty soon, as from what I hear journalists have already gone on a media preview test drive (I did not get to go but you will be able to read about the car here one way or another somehow ;) )and there have been a few units of the W204 spotted in Glenmerie recently.

I’ve hosted some interesting videos after the jump, but all of them are available at the C-For-Yourself site.

    Very nice car. Was in Putrajaya 2 days ago and lucky enough to catch a glips of them doing the test drive there, I think it was with the press of something like that. There were 5 or 6 units running around, white, silver and black. 3 series watch out……

    Paul,It’s a pity you didn’t go for the preview test drive.Your website is so popular and your comments fair and valid. Wonder what the price of the new C class will be. From the rumours it will be less than the newly launched Lexus IS 250 which is rather pricey due to being a CBU.But the merc will definitely do well no matter how good or bad it is just based on the badge.

    Totally awesome! Mercs are my favourite Euro brand. I drove the current Cs b4, A C200 Kompressor to be exact, loved it, but this C looks way better!

    im a BIG fan of beemer.
    i shud say, i never like Benz. da only one i love was the 70s Goldwing- SL
    BUT this…
    this C really amazed me wit da design, perfomance (i hope), and comfort.
