2009 C300 SHIFT PADDLES
Received the Canadian promotional booklets for the C-Class 2009 lineup. At first i thought that BLACK/SAHARA BEIGE AMG LEATHER was possible for the C350 4MATIC. Unfortunately I couldnt get that feature (exclusive to C63). Anyways here are pictures of the shift paddles exclusively on the C300 and C300 4 Matic. I think they are Canadian variants only, and theres a dynamic handling package exclusive to the C300. I opted for the C350 4MATIC calc white, grey interior with black birds eye maple. The 18" AMG twin spoke wheels are now standard on the C350.

Not sure, but most Mercedes-Benz dealerships should have these for customers at the lots. I was lucky, they had just received these in boxes the day I came into to order my 2009 model. I originally was gonna buy a CLS550 2008 with the cash incentive of over $17 000 off. I couldn't find anything on the lot I wanted so i transfered my deposit to the 2009 350 4MATIC. I hope Im happy with my purchase, both cars are sexy but I dont think Id feel to comfortable driving a CLS in the winter (we get a lot of snow) and I had to give up my old car.

And standard c350
Shift paddles on c300 option
And c300 4matic
And standard on c350
Does the 350 4matic really need any of that?
I'd rather have 4wd and 268 HP

Having had the feature in my BMW, I had to have it in my new Merc, thankfully a "keyless go" option was available. A little pricey, but it was there. One thing I was actually impressed by was that the push button "go" sits on the existing ignition barrel. According to the dealer, this means that if your keyless battery dies, then you can pop the button out and use the mechanical ignition with your key. Wunderbar.

I don't have a bag, usually, but I do have to dig through my pocket. I would've paid for this feature, had it been available as an option. A convenience well worth the cost.

Just got an 09 c63 and no touch/go on there - manual is for entire W204 line and says touch/go is only for Canada.
what's up with that? Like go south a few miles and if you touch it won't work? weird.
