C350 Coupe 2012 (C204)
haha yea i am.
I can see your point though. IMO, mercedes tends to focus on the middle aged market, so of course they would cater towards that market more.
I just think that a pure white car would look cleaner than the current white. Just a personal opinion though

Agreed, when I see a MB on the street I am never sure how clean it is, which is a good thing since even if you forget to wash it people think that it is just that shade of white.

Did anybody notice in the PDF that it shows an option 348 I think for "mbrace command". I am thinking that this is perhaps a case of lazy copy and paste since Canada didn't have mbrace before.

VW Golf MKVI 118TSI and C250 CDI Coupe (on order)
It also seems the new sport coupe will have a couple of technical changes too such as faster response/engine mapping etc.

2012 c250 coupe
Did my 50 thousand dollar coupe immediately lose a ton of value? I'm thinking so.
---------------
C-Class Coupé Sport – engineered by AMG: technically and visually
more dynamic
The two four-cylinder models, both with an output of 150 kW (204 hp), are available as "Sport" models from June 2012. In addition to the new AMG Plus Sports package and black exterior mirrors, they have the following technical features for even more driving enjoyment:
AMG sports suspension with spring and damper setup for optimised lateral dynamics plus modified camber and bearings
Sports braking system with larger brake discs
Speed-sensitive sports steering with more direct ratio
Sports exhaust system, with sound generator in the rear silencer in the case of the C 250 CDI Sport
Engine management with more responsive accelerator mapping
More sporty transmission configuration in S and M mode, with shorter shift times, double-declutch function and active downshift when braking

Also, I did not see the Eco Start/Stop.
The other updates are mostly cosmetic.

Do you guys think the the matt paint finish "designo magno platinum" paintjob would be an addon cost over this performance package?
Also, Any idea how expensive this package would be ?

C204 C250-CDI
Oh yeah, you reminded me of something. The what's new guide mentioned something about silver shift paddles, but in brackets it said that it was only for C350 RWD. Strange.
Well, after 1 min of driving the car I found the cruise control and turn stalks confusing. Its been some time, but I think that I kept reaching for the cruise control instead of the turn signal. My hand naturally move to where I expected the turn signal to be and it felt awkward. First time ever on a test drive, so I am sure that I am not the only one who complained. Must have been enough of an interest to cause MB to change it.
Where is this black colour on the fins that you are seeing?

According to the link, it looks like the followings only apply to C250 C 250 CDI:
■ Engine management with more responsive accelerator mapping
■ More sporty transmission configuration in S and M mode, with shorter shift times, double-declutch function and active downshift when braking
Also, I did not see the Eco Start/Stop.

Does anyone know if the active down shift incorporates rev matching ??

VW Golf MKVI 118TSI and C250 CDI Coupe (on order)
For Australia, I just received confirmation from MB Melbourne that this particular model will not be available until late 2013/early 2014.
I think it's inevitable that new lines/features will be introduced. But hopefully the fact that it's still fairly far away will make fellow Australians feel a bit better.

One dumb thing is that if you get the sports package or artico leather, there seems to be no way to get passenger power steering which is my #1 peeve with the car. I will gladly pay a 1000$ more not to dick around with moving the seat like in a honda civic. A car in this price range should have power forward, back for letting in passengers.
My wife rides up front....we seldom take my car as she prefers to take the ML when we are going any distance or need more room or whatever

2012 C300 4Matic
About the white paint color - do they just change the name in order to make it seem new, or is the shade of white actually different? (I speak not of Diamond as I know it has metallic bits). Seems like white is otherwise white with Mercedes at least between the two white ones we have.
As far as moving the turn signal stalk / cruise control around - when I first drove an MB (not to mention any friend who drives my car) it was certainly confusing. After relearning the positioning I have always MUCH preferred the way Mercedes positons it - much easier for me to reach the stalk with hands on the wheel. I wonder how much they're going to move it. Seems like it might be a mistake.

IMO I'm not too fussed or concerned about the offerings except for the C250-CDI enhanced response tune mentioned - that 'if available' and offered as an update I'd want for sure

I analyzed the document and I have a feeling that the Sport model options will not be available on a C350 4matic. There is a thing in there that says that only C350 RWD gets the silver shift pedals but it doesn't make sense that it gets everything else. More likely, 4matic models will not be given the option of going with the sport pack.

'13 S5 Coupe
The U.S. dealers have only recently gotten their MY 13 information (one called me this morning and I brought the Canadian brochure posted above to his attention). A few minor differences in colors and the red interior according to what he was telling me, and I'm not completely sure about the 350 Sport Package as shown in the document. The U.S. MB website proper is still addressing MY 12's, and only the other night was the 'option' of the 4Matic added to the C/E Coupe builds.
