Was at dealership and they had just got the c coupe in . Way better looking in person . Probably the best steering wheel in a Benz I've seen . Seats are good but not as bolstered as I was expecting . There's also going to be a turbo option for the 350 . Same engine so a retrofit may be possible .

wait.....a turbo in a c350? I knew there was gonna be one in the c250 but not the 350. are prayers have been answered!!

I have yet to see a picture of a four-spoked steering wheel in the 2012 model. All the images I see have the AMG style flat-bottomed steering wheel - I don't think that's the standard steering wheel though, or am I wrong?

no turbo in the 350, just the 250 which is a 1.8

mbusa has alternating pictures of the lux and sport steering wheel

Hmm, I must not have looked closely enough then.

My service adviser said that the turbo is an option for the 350 , I assume it's a larger performance package than just a turbo setup . Time will see .

Over here in South Africa we have the normal rounded stearing wheel as standard with non AMG package.
By normal I mean the 12 button 3 spoke.

I drove the 250 CDI,250CGI and 180CGI and CDI wins hands down in terms of power and overall drive.

Which dealership did you go to hitokiri? I was just at Huntington 3 days ago and they had squat. Also, I got to sit in the new sedan and coupe at the auto show because I went with gen-benz. And I must say, it is MUCH nicer. I really like the new colors available if you go to leather seating too. As fasr as the c350 getting a turbo as an option, I think your SA is misinformed. I think he is more talking about the possibility to turbo the engine due to its design as it is much easier over the current c350/c300 design.

There is no turbo coming for the C350, if you want more go, get a C63.

Have you ever noticed that some dealer people don't know as much about their products as enthusiasts who scour the planet for MB data do?

Their job is to sell and service what's on hand right now and not what may or may not be in the pipeline.

hitokiri89

Lol seriously I hate when ppl say you should have got 63 , no s**t Sherlock don't you think if I could I would have . Don't kill the messenger bro .

Yo jctevere I was at the Huntington dealership yesterday . I guess they just came in .

My Dealer told me the coupe was supposed to come out last summer of 2010 so that tells you how much they know.

luminus

Well my dealer in Seattle area hasn't got any yet. They expect the first batch to arrive at end of Sept.

wireless200

Yes, I've totally noticed that at all dealers.

My dealer just got a coupe an sedan in this past weekend. They just finished putting a new building and redoing the whole joint. They got a SLS in the showroom as well. Theres a 250 turbo available, but not on the 350.
