A 3 year old Thread rehashed LMAO!! Everyone can do what you want. Re or De badge. But I chimed here because lots of miss information. The C350 and C300 in Canada have the same Big Brake package, also both have 4matic option. In 2012 the HP rating went from 268 to 300 compared to previous w204 model years. Misinformation is just as Bad as a re badge. Different Strokes For Different Folks.

In USA it's 302 hp. Not sure if you were rounding or if the Canada engine is slightly detuned.

Your Correct. Same HP rating in Canada. It's like MB wanted to make certain regions unique. Why in Canada and Japan did they badge 08/09 w204 c230 instead of C250. Some Places. C280 instead of C300 Wierd. Canada got nicer c300 and c350 models than the USA. Wrong thread for my rant. But better than rehashing badge opinions.

I'm new to the MB world and yea, my head is spinning trying to understand some of the decisions like you listed. It would've been nice to get a C350 Sport Sedan 4matic here....but...

You'll find many variations of the w204 around the world. Like no amber side markers in parts of europe. No estate(wagon) models in north america. My biggest peeve is no diesel in North America. I don't know sometimes. Enjoy your benz.
