Just in the news today:
Set to arrive in U.S. Mercedes-Benz dealerships on August 7, the next- generation 2008 C-Class sedan is larger than its highly successful predecessor, with a greater emphasis on driving dynamics, comfort and safety. The C300 Sport and Luxury models will be available with an all new 4MATIC all- wheel-drive system mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission starting in September.
But no wagons, dammit!

Yet........
In general, mebbe. But MBUSA has no intention of importing them when they have them in Europe.

And I can't understand why. BMW, Audi, Saab, Volvo all sell similar- size wagons here. Why did MB drop the C-class wagon a few years ago? I actually thought it looked better than the sedan!
Perhaps they see it as a market the new GLK-class will cover.
Agreed. I have a 2002 C320 wagon that has been trouble-free but we would like AWD (not available in 2002) and new. May keep it but would like an option.
Eh. If I wanted an SUV, I'd have many options. SUVs do not offer, in a reasonable package, the physical configuration that I need .
Kal
I bet it's now the same size as the W123...
Funny how the ads shown in GB feature the version without the upright star.
