Mercedes heeft onlangs een officieel bericht de wereld in gestuurd dat het merk geen facelift voor de C-klasse op de planning heeft staan. De C-Estate die enkele maanden geleden werd gespot had dan ook geen betekenis, aldus Mercedes. Wellicht hebben ze gelijk en wordt de dagrijverlichting bij enkele versies doorgevoerd, maar dat we het verhaal over de facelift in de prullenbak kunnen schuiven is duidelijk. Hier zijn de eerste beelden van de C-klasse facelift!


De C-klasse werd in 2007 aan ons voorgesteld. Het ontwerp is daarom nog niet verouderd, wat Mercedes doet besluiten de C-klasse een lichte facelift mee te geven. Voor zo ver zichtbaar blijft het vooral bij een aangepast front en koplampen. Onderhuids verandert er hoogstwaarschijnlijk ook het één en ander. Zo verwachten we een nieuwe BlueTec dieselmotor en zullen nieuwe technieken voor CO2-vermindering natuurlijk op alle motoren worden toegepast.

Halleluja, how hard can it be??
The camouflaged C-Class is the facelift that´ll come 2011. The other pictures just show the actuall C-Class (that you can buy in germany for minimum 2 month!!) and nothing else. It´s just these little LED´s in the front that´s new. The real facelift will get new frontlamps, a new grille and bonnet and a new interior.

You are right sorry , see : viewtopic.php?f=82&t=21465

there is more to see on those great photos!

a real scoop

That´s not a real scoop. A "real scoop" is a car that has never been shot before on a place that no one knows.... this is just another picture of a facelifted C-Class that got shot on a place that every jerk knows.

Why that?

Do you mean the point "on a place that no one knows"?
Because those are real scoops in the fundamental idea of spyshots. Shooting secret cars that nobody should see before on places nobody knows about.
Like this for example:



THAT was a REAL SCOOP, cause only VW and the photographer knows where that picture was taken.
That C-Class is just a "boring-scoop-that-every-jerk-will-have-soon" taken "on-a-place-where-even-monkeys-are-able-to-have-success".

Do you understand now what I mean?

Thats a real spy shot, a undisguised prototype of the estate-version of the series 3 at a time where only fully disguised limousines were known.

But wait a little time, "real spy shots" will come in future from SecretCars!
95% of the time the industry is testing, they are not watched by spy-photographers because they are badly informed about the good locations, but that will change in future!

I agree with you about the real spy shot - the rest is ...
Cause also in the future the industrie will be 95% unseen, also SecretCars won´t change that. Other spy photographers are also very well informed and they are around in several good and interesting places where they are shooting good stories. And there are alot of hot spots where they are testing, but where it is impossible to take pictures.
The question is, how you´ll get there?

Have you ever seen spyshots of exotic locations?
The trick is a good mix of "normal" spyshots and exotic spyshots, because its a high risk of costs to shoot at exotic places, and you can´t behave like at the Nürburgring to take open pictures, you have to hide yourself.
The normal spypics will help to get the money to pay the exotic expeditions.
Ten years ago we shot at places that were far away becaus we earned much money, thats not possible any more at that time, thats because all of the photographers are standing in front of the gates of the industry, whats really ridicolous form of "spying", but although the magazines want to have those shots.
Show me one spy who is really "well informed", I know none... and those I know are not working any more at this time.
Why should it be impossible to shoot at exotic places?
There is many security to make the testing safe, but there are some few places where the industry is driving on open roads.
Not all of the roads can be controlled.
Real spying is difficult, but not impossible!
