Wow, some dealers are offering "special" pre-sale prices. Most likely above MSRP? What do you guys think, will dealers try to capitalized on it. Could they be asking over MSRP?.

Please, if you are buying a C450 amg - DO NOT PAY more than you should, let's keep a dealer list and of those who ask more than MSRP and keep away from them. I already have a promise from one dealer at MSRP, am trying to get this dealer to commit to INVOICE than go from there.

One thing I can almost guarantee is that optional wheel choices will vary by market. Benz almost always does that.

There are no fewer than 10 optional wheel styles offered on the standard W205 in SA. This on top of the standard fitment.

id prefer the 19inch wheels on the current c400 over any of the ones shown above. especially the c63 black rim with silver outline, so tacky.

Anyone manage to snag the list of standard and optional equipment? The present W205 does not offer heated steering wheel here in Canada, which is baffling. Every other competitor offer heated steering wheels, and with 5 months of winter, it should be standard equipment, in my opinion.

A nice, true dual exhaust from Akrapovic, with a more aggressive tone and carbon tips, is all the mod this car needs, the perfect daily driver to replace my E90 335i

Regarding the interior, hate those seats. They just look over the top to me. I prefer understated elegance. Those seats are tacky IMO. The new C class is classy. Those seats don't fit the style.

Post 5 shows the optional seats. These are the standard seats.

I would prefer grey stitching, trim & belts.

They are well bolstered & would be very supportive around Mt. Panorama.

Found this in the C450 AMG press release as available options.

5-double-spoke light-alloy wheels painted titanium grey with a high-sheen finish, tires of size 225/40 R 19 on 7.5 x 19 rims (front) and 255/35 R 19 on 8.5 x 19 (rear)

I'm with you guys. The standard seats fit my expectations better. The sport seats somehow look too big to me, and the chrome just doesn't feel right. (to me)

BTW: A big thanks to Glyn for setting up a C450 "safe haven".

You're right. But I thought I'd share nonetheless.

AMG Sport Seats

I'm curious, do the AMG seats retain the extendable thigh support of the regular W205?

With designo leather seat upholstery and Leather seat upholstery as options I think there will be something for almost every taste.
