I just came back from the San Diego International Auto Show. The only C320 coupe in Califrnia is apparently in LA at their auto show, and going to be at the show in SD in a few days so I didn't actually see it, but the sales rep said:

- It will be available in late Jan / early Feb.
- It will be $28,995 USD.
- C7 option ( 7 spoke wheels etc ) will be standard.
- A supercharged V-6, whether done by AMG or MB, is NOT planned for the US.
- Power seats are probably standard.

I tried explaining to the sales rep that MB has their priorities screwed up on the last two; that I can move the seat myself quite easily, but I can't cram more air into the intake manifold with my bare hands. He just didn't get it.

did he say which day the car is moving to the SD show? I would much rather drive to SD than LA.

Was there anything else interesting at the MB section there? CLK55, E55, anything else AMG-wise?

E55 KEV

The C320 Coupe is to be a 2004 model in the US. So I doubt that it will go on sale in Jan/Feb 2003 in the US.

My dealer already has two of these built and in the US VPC as 2003 models, so I think they will be shipped pretty soon. I think it will be sooner than late January. Plus, there are new 2003 c-class brochures being shipped. Haven't seen them yet, but they are supposed to include the new sport sedans AND the 320 coupe.

If the engine change to the C350 is coming in 2004, will there be a C320 coupe and a C350 sedan? Too many engines in the lineup, they should switch over to the 3.7L across the board.

Has anyone seen it confirmed that the 350 engine is going to be put in the C-class? I have not ever heard this for sure.

there was a thread here several weeks back, with a link to some german language MB chat group, where it was discussed. I remember running it through the google german to english translator. it talked about a C350 for 2004. I forgot the title of it, I think is was something like "2004 changes".

I don't know if this will work:

Nope. Sorry.

Robert Schrader

Sorry, but I only looked at cars I could afford.

He explicitly said that they were in ships on the way here.

For 28,995 !!!!!! with C7 as standard equip !!!

I will definitely trade in my C-Coupe.

Goshhh... I wonder how much would be the trade-in value . Do you guys figure about 20% loss for the first year ???

am all exited

A search on Google for "Mercedes 2003 C320 Coupe" yielded many links but I haven't found any pix. The MB official site was of no help - of course.

Where are they ???

Thanks

Matt230K

What kind of a pic are you looking for? I doubt the car will look any different. It will probably look the same as a C7 C230K.
