I read in the local CAR magazine yesterday that the W203 will get a minor face lift in mid 2004.
The article is a bit vague about what exactly will change. It did mention that the front lights will now have clear lenses (I doubt if it will be Xenon lights though; it is likely to remain an option) and the rear lights' layout will change. The shape of the front lights will also be slightly different. There will also be slight changes to the side panels.
It also mentioned that the interior will change slightly (no details given) to have a more modern look.
V6 engines will be upgraded and C32 AMG will be replaced with a monster C55 AMG.
This is no doubt in response to the new BMW 3-Series due for launch in 2005.
If anybody has more info or pictures, please let me know.
The article also has photos of the new SLK and S-class. Looks like Merc is going to give Chris Bangle some sleepless nights...
Thanks,
Johann
