I'm actually very glad to see they are leaving the 4MATIC badge off of the C450. I like the cleaner look and the differentiation from just about every other Mercedes-Benz vehicle on the road up in this part of the country. I actually considered adding the rear deck lid badge delete to my order, but what what I really wanted was to delete the 4MATIC badge and keep the C450. Happy to see this is the default!
Is this indeed the default? The pics from rbrylaw also show no 4matic badge but everywhere online show them on the trunk/boot.
Does anybody know if you opt for badge deletion does MB still give them to you?

Anyone heard anything about the remote start on the 2016 models?
That is a feature of MBrace Connect. If you are in the US, it comes with your car for 5 years at no additional charge. You will need to have a smartphone and use the MBrace App.
Not sure that I have a good picture of these... My dealer contact has an ML with designo interior, and that was the first time that I seen them. The primary difference will be the AMG vs. designo label (where the AMG label will be embroidered and the designo label (from the ones that I have seen) will be an actual badge, like:
I like that the designo interior has specific mats and it'll be easier to acquire the AMG ones if desired but I wonder do the AMG mats come in red stitching only?

Do we know if the white stripe AMG performance wheel can be ordered in the US?

I think the other difference between the designo mat and the AMG mat is that the designo mat comes with a leather border in the same color as the nappa leather interior, and the AMG mat comes with the standard cloth material regardless of the interior material selected. Not sure about the red stitching, but I would think that we have at least one new owner that didn't get a black with red stitching interior that can tell us.

I have heard conflicting information on the stripe: yes the C450 will get it on the AMG Performance steering wheel depending on the color of leather interior selected, and no the C450 will not get it, it is only available on the C63/C63S... so I think we need to wait and hear from a new owner that got the performance steering wheel and some form of leather interior.
Will the AMG logo below the analog clock be there just like the C63 ?
Go to page 37 of this thread and you'll see several pictures I posted of a C450 from my dealers lot. The AMG Logo is not below the clock, like it is on the C63.
MSRP is $63,305 + $925 delivery, I'm offered $59,018, that's a $5k savings or 8% off retail.
Using a MF of 0.0019 and 36mo/12k (58% residual) I get a lease payment in my tax rate of around $849/mo.
Seems like a no-brainer. I had originally wanted a CLA45 but MB USA is royally screwing around with pricing and availability and my current lease ends shortly.

I'm thinking I'm going to take this!
Yeah, I agree... that sounds like a great deal. (I have to admit, that I stopped paying attention to the lease calculations after it was deemed too high, but 8% off is nice with either payment method).

Awesome deal, if you don't mind me asking what part of Ohio? Wouldn't happen to be near Cbus/Dublin, would it?

The dealer added the all-weather mats at no charge but the mats that came with the car were black with the white AMG logo.
