Nothing has been official yet, but figure 4matic will bump the price of the C350 up by $2,000 - $2,500 dollars or so. IT has been said to be a Spring 2012 release. My contacts at MBUSA have said about two months ago that it is going to be at dealers showrooms late April/Early May.

Everything I read .. edmunds, car and driver said it will be available March (but I think they mean - that you can order come March..) Not sure, but it's definitely coming soon.

Also, the mags were not sure if the c350 4matic sedan would be avail in USA..

Everything I have heard from MBUSA seems to deal with a c350 coupe 4matic, nothing about the sedan. However, common sense would suggest if the coupe c350 gets 4matic, why not the c350 sedan? I guess all we can do at this point in regards to the sedan is speculate until an official announcement or until they pop-up in dealer ordering guides. I think March was an "old" deadline, and that it has been slightly pushed back. Or perhaps because I asked "when will the c350 4matic coupes be on dealer lots" my MBUSA contact simply gave me the date that they hit dealer showrooms. I think regardless, I would trust what MBUSA says over the auto mags.

With that said, she told me "mid-late April" but I said April-May since MB isn't always scrupulous about meeting timelines and deadlines for new releases.

Thanks for the details.

I am anxiously waiting as I want to get this for my new DD.

Any idea what pricing would be?

$42,370 for a rwd c350 coupe... you thinking $2k more? the e350 is 2500 but I think the C would maybe be a little less...

So a base of like 44,370... ?

Yeah, I mean, its not official, I think I wrote $2,000 - $2,500 above. I have the range because I don't remember what it was on my 2009 c300. I think you are right though, in that it was $2,500. Who knows what the MSRP will be. Perhaps since it is the only coupe with 4matic, they will not charge the whole $2,500 option price, but I think that could be wishful thinking...
