New Coupe Model!
I was randomly searching online and I found this:
http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...s-package.html
It makes the lineup a bit too confusing in my opinion. Also, why is there only a C250 sport and now C350?!

2012 c250 Coupe
Red seatbelts are nice, but I don't know if I would want them with my c250. According to the article they are trying to market the C class as a "sporty" car. They are probably trying to grab some of the BMW crowd.
Here's the cut and paste of the article:
Here's the cut and paste of the article:
Amidst all the huge announcements by automakers at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz has quietly revealed the new C-Class Coupe Sport and the AMG Plus Sports Package.
The C 250 Sport and C 250 CDI Sport have 204-hp and will come with AMG-tuned suspension, larger disc brakes, speed-sensitive sports steering, sport exhaust system, retuned engine management for more responsive acceleration, and a sport transmission configuration in S and M mode.
In addition, C-Class Coupe buyers can opt for the AMG Plus Sports Package which can be added to all body and engine models. The AMG Plus Sports Package comes with 18-inch AMG seven-twin-spoke wheels, an aerodynamic kit and spoiler lip, sport seats in black ARTICO man-made leather with DINAMICA red contrast stitching, black DINAMICA door panels, three-spoke sports steering wheel, designo seat belts in red (optional), stainless steel pedals, and red contrast stitching on the gear lever, center console armrest, and door panels.
“Refined sportiness is a brand value we hold dear, and with the new Sport models we are shifting the emphasis of the C-Class a little more towards sportiness,” says Dr. Joachim Schmidt,Executive Vice President Mercedes-Benz Cars, Sales and Marketing. “This means that in the C-Class, alongside the top-of-the-range C 63 AMG, we have the widest ever line-up of sporty models.”
Unfortunately no pricing was announced.

I was looking at the pictures and I can't see what the aerodynamic kit is. It seems to be a body kit, but looking at the silver car in the pictures it looks like a normal coupe to me other than the carbon fibre side mirrors (which are actually not mentioned anywhere lol)

ANother thing... if you look at the pictures of the interior, you can see that the command interface looks silver instead of the usual yellow tone. Is this something that can be change in the current models?

It seems like RED is the accent color of the year. The new BMW 3 "sport" line has it on the dash, the new A class has it on the lower front spoiler, and the new A1 Clubsport has it on the headlights.

And note that they use red in the center screen and on the radio indicator.

C Coupe 220cdi (ordered) and Lexus IS220d
To me it just seems that the AMG Styling pack (which) is an option in Europe is renamed. The spoilers, etc. are the same as in the Mercedes Sport pack, but now with an option to change the interior. The AMG Styling pack normally contains no red accents.

Nice 
It's good to see an expansion on optional OEM offers on this vehicle.
Certainly if I were ordering now, I'd take the the AMG sports plus package, the rear spoiler and performance response improvement are something we'd all want in the C250 coupes
It also looks like it rides a little lower from some of those pics ??
It time there'll be alot of enhancements for these cars, I'm looking forward to making mine better with some specific mods and additions

c250 sport plus
Told today my build date has been brought forward from 3/7 to 26/6, so should arrive at dealer 5/7 so approximately 2 weeks early, did you order the AMG handling package ?

lol the article stated "sport exhaust system". From the pictures, the exhaust looks the same to me. I was hoping for dual tips on the left side or something like the c350 
They think a measily 3 hp gain over stock is sporty? ohhhh MB. They must have a free flowing muffler or something.

Nice !!! Congratulations
You'll have to put up some pics of the interior as well
Still curious about the ride height, it is supposed to be lower than the previous AMG packaged cars, but looks like it's sitting the same or even sligthtly higher than mine, can you confirm by possibly having a look at another one with pre AMG plus package TIA
