C450 AMG
Been driving it the most of the afternoonafter picking it up at noon, it drives like a dream and even though it does nothave the roar of the C63 it can turn some heads for sure when you open up for it.Pretty stiff even in Comfort mode when driving in town, however on the highwayit fells more comfortable. This is my first MB, I did test a C400 some weeksago for a couple of hours, from my experience the C450 is a very different car especiallywhen you put it in Sport+. Can only recommend it for those that have not yetordered, awesome car..!

Absolutely gorgeous car . . . Congratulations!!! Hope it won't shake the wife's fillings out when I take it over the railroad tracks. I'll be in big trouble.

It is pretty hard to describe a sound J, I can only relate to the sound from within the car, it is certainly noticeable when you are driving also in Comfort mode. I would recommend checking out this review, it is in German but jump to the below time marks for some sound bites, make sure to play it at a decent stereo so you can hear the deep bass tones also from within the car,comes very close to how it sounds in real life.
5.12 min, 12.30 min, 15:27 min, 27:54 min, 30.48 min

I agree ... Sport+ is the only way to fly.
I am looking forward to see what Brabus or Renntech can bump the HP and torque in 2016. I am betting they come close to the C63 values.

My car is a daily driver too but I will have a whole lot of fun flying to the grocery store and the bank
I will have to check-out the Akrapovic exhaust too. Definitely an expensive add-on. Renntech sells these parts for the w204 c63 $black series at 5K - $7K USD.

GJ,
I cannot help you with your question. Maybe someone else can chime-in.
I ordered the driver assistance package and the parking assistant package but stopped using radar detectors since I was receiving too many false alarms with the passport radar detector some15-20 years ago. Hopefully they have improved a lot since then.

I can't speak for the MB implementation, but I have another vehicle that uses radar for blind spot assist, and it does not impact the radar detector at all.

This C450 has been making its rounds in Ohio and Pennsylvania for dealer training:
As a side note, if you look close enough, you will notice that it has surround view (360 view).

The C450 scheduled before mine (to be produced 9/3/15) went red and headed into production this weekend (almost a month ahead of schedule).

The must be tearing through the sales order backlog. I hope they don't forget an engine or another part 
.
I have not heard anything from my sales rep. He did not even get back to me on official pricing (retail price on M-B letterhead) that I was inquiring about for a auto loan. I am guessing official pricing cannot be released until launch.
It looks like we may all be posting pics in early September of our new vehicles.
