You are merely speculating, and using a misnomer like "common sense" changes nothing.

Believe whatever you want and I'll do the same-time will tell.

By common acceptation and meaning, you can only speculate as you have nothing (prior nonoccurrence among logicians means nothing) from which to infer:

This is not "common sense" but nonsense.

Yes, speculation.

So, your position is that prior nonoccurrence, despite unique facts, means present nonoccurence: by definition, this cannot be "common sense" and can only be speculation. (Of course, among non casuists, "common sense" is nothing more than the application of reason or judgment to AN ACCEPTED SET OF FACTS, not the application of such to hypothetical, disputed or speculative/theoretic facts.)

Ive merely offered a remedy based on theoretic or hypothetical facts and nothing more.

It is for people who have it. Again, wait on MB to "give" you a C43 badge for your C450. Delusional.

More ad hominem. I never stated or implied MB would, but merely advised what I would do in a hypothetical case.

Perhaps you don't understand the definition of delusional or hypothetical any more than you do "common sense" or "speculation."

You are merely speculating, whereas what I've described is a remedy that exists with legal certainty.

If that is "delusional," so be it.

Yes the fact that you would even think that, even in a hypothetical sense is just plain delusional. Wait on it though. Post pics when they offer to install it for you. I can't wait to see it. Everything you've said is speculative and just plain reaching for nothing. It was a dumb theory when it was originally floated and the remedy is even more so.

I doubt it, but if they even do an unveiling in that sense, they'll likely do it at NYC. If not then it will just show up since it isn't really a new car. They might quietly slip it on the floor at Geneva or NYC, but I doubt much of anything will be said about it.

I just don't get some people.

Somehow he thinks using the language and affectations of 19th century barrister is going to prove to us that he's not dim?

Maybe, but it also proves that he's a pretentious ****.

I agree with the bolded. They're not going to make much fanfare over the C43 sedan.

Are there any photos of all of the new badging yet? I have looked through all of the official photos and the only thing I was able to tell was the rear badging (AMG on the left and c43 on the right with the 43 slightly offset from the c. The fenders look like they now say BiTurbo 4Matic. But what about the stupid details like the door sills? Do the seats now have the AMG badge? Any embossing on the leather? I'm really curious to see if Mercedes goes the Ebay route and goes full tilt on the badges.
I really cannot stand the wait for my car. FYI, I have taken Donald Trump's oath to not relabel my C450.

That may be true, either way it's not a C43 (C43's have the diamond grill and different horizontal bar design, per the pics from Geneva).

I am going to put this badge on the sides of my hood because I got a good size rock chip on there.. I don't want to repainted the whole hood already.and the touchup paint looks like crap... I'm waiting for the badge to come in from eBay... I put electrical tape to show where I'm planning on putting the badges.. Let me know if you think this will look stupid ��


And this is the badge that will go in place of the black electrical tape..

I just found this video and wanted to share. No music, just a guy cruising in the new 43 cab. Great exhaust sound, very crackly on lift.

Welp, safe to say the exhaust still sounds weak-ish in the C43...not that I expected otherwise, but to have it confirmed removed the one slight glimmer of hope I was holding on to for a deeper exhaust.
