C450 TOMORROW* Probably.
Well, after several false starts, and presuming we aren't killed driving through the stupid storm from Florida to Montgomery, by this time tomorrow I should be the proud lessor of a 2016 Palladium Silver C450 AMG Sport. The S class has been returned to stock and detailed, ready to move on to its next owner. It'll undoubtedly be a kid who can't believe how lucky he was to get a $100,000 German Luxury Sedan for only $30k, and post on the 221 board asking the really key questions like "So how reliable are these?" And "Will 22" Wheels rub when I do a drop?" And "Should I have gotten a warranty???"

The good news is, you poor C Class guys are gonna be stuck with me. I would like to apologize in advance.

Congrats man! And Palladium Silver C450 AMG Sport is basically my dream car at the moment. Saw one this morning on the highway Palladium w/ night package, it was a MB of Manhattan Courtesy Vehicle maybe I should drop my car off for rattle and convince them to let me putt around in a C450 for a week.

Welcome to the C Class. The C450 is one of my favs and hope you enjoy it as much as we love working on it.

OK.....Ahem........Haven't a peep out of you. You'd better be in your garage hugging that beautiful new C450, to keep us in suspense like this. Yes, you'd better be doing that!

Ha! Yeah, I still may. Dealer gave me the car overnight as a loaner. See my urgent tire question thread for my latest crisis.

Coming from an S, you may be disappointed. I love the ride, but it's not for everyone. Be certain.

Honestly, I'd like it to ride like the base C300 loaner on 17" that I had for a couple of weeks last month, but those wheels are too ugly. I'm not giving up on the C450 yet. I'm ready for something less floaty and loose than the S.

False alarm, it seems, based on his other thread. No C450.

Any wagers on the "final" over under on changes before actually taking delivery?

No C450, but it did help me narrow down a build.
