Do you wanna form a group buy? I think the price quoted by Navi is a bit expensive...

Do let me know. Where do you plan to buy those units and get them installed?

I just read from Zungfu website that C250 is now offered in AV/Classic/Sports Edition. With SE the sunroof is removed.

I actually ordered mine with sunroof, and it comes with Metallic Paint as this is 2009 made. Did you order Metallic Paint too or it comes standard?

have you changed your order finally?

Yeah I just went today to finalize the contract. They allowed me to change to C250 CGI Sport! Hurray! Only additional requirement was that I must choose between black or gray for the interior, instead of my original choice of cognac brown. From what the salesman told me though, the C250 CGI Sport model might not be offered in the near future. It is a really good deal after all.

@ E92: Thanks!

@ Sailexc: It was just a modification of my original order so it's not an entire new one. I chose calcite white for the exterior because I think it looks great in conjunction with a panoramic roof! The interior is black with black maple instead of aluminium.

You can't order the 2.5L V6 anymore in HK. It's replaced by the turbo I4. There's not much different except it performs better (0-60 in 7.5s) and is more fuel efficient due to CGI technology. Similarly you can no longer order the C200K which is now replaced by the C200 CGI, even though it's still on the price list on the websites. I asked Zung Fu about this recently.

dang, hearing you 250 guys getting 40+ mpg is amazing!
my 350 barely manages to average 13.5L/100km

and its not surprising they offer such a small engine in places like Hong Kong. im from hong kong as well, family owns a R300 CDI...slowest thing in the world but pretty adequate for city driving (which is 80%) as for highways........not that great with alphards and hiaces zipping past you going 90km/h haha

I am doing like 9.2 to 11.0 for 80% City ...

I believe it can be as low as 7.x for highway.

Is that with sport mode on or off? Does it make a significant difference in mileage?
