Why no activity here? No one has or is getting a coupe? No one who has a coupe is interested in a radar detector DIY? Etc?

My ride is coming in 6 weeks.
I guess there is not a lot of them out there yet?

Don't know if I will have anything to write when it arrives either though. :-)

flycaster

Yeah, I don't think I've seen any 2017 coupes here in southeast Florida. Been at the area delaerships for about three weeks. Maybe they aren't selling as expected???

it's kind of a bummer - I'm used to BMW where you'll have an active forum for a year before anybody gets one ... posting pre-release reviews, speculation on performance, engineering discussions, planned mods, lining up vendors, etc.

Here's it's just kind of



Well, they seem to be more expensive, especially the leases. If Benz wants to move them they'll have to make leasing comparable to BMW - I just ran some rough numbers and with Porsche's summer lease deal I could get a 911 for less than a C63S!

~ i haven't seen a one on the road in ohio.

Same here... I live in Dallas/Fort Worth and drive about 100 miles per day round-trip to work. I have yet to see another coupe on the road. My dealer told me they've sold 8 of them, but I haven't seen another one.

Here in silicon valley I see and run with just about everything ... ferraris, mclaren, lambos, GT3s ... hell there's a Delorean daily driver parked in my building.

I've yet to see a C63S sedan or coupe

flycaster

Yeah, I'm also coming from several BMW forums and, in comparison, find this forum quite disappointing. Hopefully, at time rolls on, things will pick up...

W205 forum seems live because the sedans have been around for a year+

I am getting a delivery of my coupe in a month but i saw 2-3 coupe already on the road (I live in Croatia Europe)

When i oredered mine in may the dealer had 2 coupes in showroom and sold the few days after

I hope people start posting more because i will need ideas on what rims to buy and how to lower the car as well as ideas on how to make the car look nicer

Our C43 Coupe arrives sometime in Oct. Already have some subtle mods planned and waiting on the availability and pricing for the Brabus tune.

I've only seen two new C Coupes on the road outside of the C63s we had a test drive in at our local dealers. One was another C63 around where we live and the second was a non AMG Coupe earlier this week when I was in Gothenburg in Sweden on business.

Most of the discussion is still being held on the C Class sedan forum...

I'll have a C43 in Cbus in October, or whenever the hell they decide to start delivering the 43's.

Yes I miss the chatting and engagement of the BMW forums too. Now I just have to wait to receive my C43 in October and enjoy driving it. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised and receive it at the end of September. Seems like that's the most "hype" there will be between now and then.

Prago

That's odd. I was just down there a couple of weekends ago and saw a few sedans.

This forum breaks down the models into such minute detail, that many forums are naturally going to be very slow as they will be relatively few owners. Would be much better to group all of the like models together to generate more conversation.

kowyzg0moo

I agree. I think the C205 should be in with the W205 group since there's really not a lot of them on the road...

Just found out that my car went into production 7/14 (Germany) and was told that it would most likely be delivered the end of August. This means that shipping and delivery (once car is built) to the USA takes about 1.5 months...bummer!

Tuono

I saw a C63 coupe this morning on my short walk to my local train station, sounded and looked great, white with the optional black 20/19 wheels, but without the black pack, so chromed exhaust trims. I would so love a C63, but I would end up having to double my monthly payments compared to the C43 we've ordered and have a lower spec. car.

g8rgrl

Is yours a C43 coupe?

flycaster

No, it's a C300 coupe. Originally thought that it was going to be made in Alabama and then found out that the coupes were made in Germany.

inhartwetrust

Lines up with what I was quoted on my C43 Coupe, being delivered to the USA

Build date: 9/3
Delivery: mid-to-late October

Found this video on youtube of the c43

I just picked up an Edition 1 for my mum this weekend from Barry Flores at MB of Marin (San Rafael)

antigeek

I'm in agreement - expected more buzz before they were available.
The Lexus SC430 forum was active for a year before it arrived.

Still, I'm a new owner as of Monday in the DFW area.
Brilliant blue with MB-Tex Saddle and linden wood trim.

Looking forward to being an active member here.

Very nice, can you post some interior picks if you have time, as we've flipped from the Porcelain to the Saddle trim on our order.
