Like what, a new front air dam?

I doubt they'd honestly redesign parts of the car specifically for the US market.

I can see the C having a V8 but in form of an AMG model seems more logical.

No, the C550 won't be coming out.

However, there will be a C63 AMG with a V8.

Wouldn't it be interesting if the small sedans could come with non-performance V8s? Imagine a C550, A4 4.2 quattro, 350i... what monsters.
