The latest generation W204 Mercedes-Benz C-Class has been on sale since 2007 and is now due for its mid-cycle facelift. As these latest spy shots reveal, Mercedes-Benz designers won’t be mucking around with the stylish look of the current model, instead choosing to focus on only minor changes such as new bumper and wheel designs, and possibly a revision of the headlights as well.
Besides the styling changes to the exterior, there will almost certainly be some updates to the interior and a number of mechanical changes. The latter will likely include modifications intended to improve the efficiency of the C-Class and boost Mercedes’ fleet wide fuel economy and emissions averages.
Some of the changes will likely include the addition of new BluTec diesel powertrains and engine stop-start systems, as well as more direct-injected and turbocharged models.
Like previous updates, the new changes will be incorporated across the C-Class range but there may also be a major shift in the lineup--the addition of a new C-Class Coupe to replace the current CLC model.
As for the Estate wagon, Mercedes-Benz spokespeople have confirmed to TheCarConnection.com that there are no plans to bring this particular model to the U.S. although we will still get the bigger 2011 E-Class Estate. Mercedes-Benz brought the previous C-Class Estate to the U.S. from 2002 through 2005, but it was a slow-seller and the current version never made it.

Is it just me or does anyone else like the presumably-not-for-production black bodywork around and below the grille?
 
not sure the tow hook will catch on:doh:

LOL LOL as Michael says that's the usual disguise. The fact that there isn't more of it points to the fact that little is changing.:devil::devil:
