I don't like the new headlights on the C class. They take away some of that dynamic touch which the original W204 headlights gave the car, IMO.
Also, I'm not a fan of the new interior from a design point of view. I thought the original interior, despite the clean and conservative (boring) lines, looked sportier, more business-like and even more elegant than this new one.
However, I might change my mind when I encounter the car in real life.

i still can't get used to the new corporate headlight style- narrow innards, curving up and outward
there's something awkward about the grille being taller than the lights.
the pre-refresh looks more balanced.
