The latest generation W204 Mercedes Benz C-Class has been on sale since 2007 and will be due for its mid-cycle facelift in the second half of next year. As this computer generated rendering suggests, the car’s 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, headlight and wheel designs.
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 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 Cabrio and Coupe.
As for the Estate wagon, Mercedes-Benz spokespeople have confirmed to TheCarConnection 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 C-Class wagon to the U.S. from 2002 through 2005, but it was a slow-seller and the current version never made it.

besides, i really cant think of any SUVs or Minivans that looks as cool as this pretty little sport wagon. Im also glad to see some of this car's design elements on the new E-class estate

Station Wagons/Estates have been a long-neglected bodystyle in the Americas in over a generation - despite the fact that they're safer than SUV/CUV's due to their lower center of gravity, are far more economical (fuel, maintenance, insurance) and have just as much interior space for people and cargo than the comparable SUV/CUV.
If the US manufacturers want to find a new "niche" - they'd do well to bring some good looking and functional Station Wagons/Estates/Sportwagons to the market.
