Spy Photos: 2008 W204 Mercedes C-Class

JALOPNICK AUTO NEWS - - A new rear window rake, swage lines and a panoramic glass roof (like its big brother S-Class) distinguish the next-gen Mercedes C-Class, caught by spies in some sort of processing facility in Europe. Despite the diesel badging, says Edmunds Straightline Blog, we can expect the US-bound C-Class to be powered by the corporate 3.5-liter V6, hooked to Merc's 7G-Tronic autobox. We'll see the new C at the Geneva show next year, possibly alongside new GLK mini ute with which it shares architectural components. Flying buttresses sold separately. – Mike Spinelli
