After heading out of the office a bit early this afternoon to take care of a few errands, I returned to find a email from an astute reader by the name of Rob and an official DaimlerChrysler press release, both of which have confirmed the new 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class will be launching live on the internet tomorrow January 18th.

The premier will take place at the Mercedes-Benz World (surprise, surprise), and will be broadcast live from 7:00 to 7:40pm (CET) at the Mercedes-Benz World main site.

Get the popcorn ready ladies and gentlemen; because like me, I'm sure you can't wait to see what the new model looks like.  Oh, I forgot... we already know.

You have to love leaked brochures.

To read the full press release detailing the 2008 C-Class unveiling, keep scrolling to view all three sentences of it.

And to Rob: thanks for the tip my good sir; we sincerely appreciate it.
