Both. Are there cosmetic changes? I know the C450 is morphing into the C43. I hear dual screens like the S-class? I ask because there is virtually NO information out there on the web. I hear an I-6 engine is coming out, is that '17 or'18?

We won't have any information until Summer at least as to what changes will happen. For MY2015-MY2016 it was really small changes to the exterior like the graphic used on the mirror turn signals was changed to black from silver, the MBrace stuff is free for 5 years with remote start and the package options changed (premium 1 and 2 etc). I can definitely see 2017 C coming with more standard features though including back up camera which is now standard on the new CLA to be released.
The new A4 is going to change the segment a lot, many features on the top end Prestige model are standard including standard full LED headlights, 12.3" virtual cockpit binnacle, 8.4" infotainment, standard leather (in different colors at no cost) and all that can be had for around $3k less than a comparable C class at the moment.

When is the 2017 MY going to be released? My lease expires Dec of 2016, and I plan on ordering a car so I'll be ordering late Sept '16. What options will I have come Sept 16'?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Usually in August/Sept. If your lease expires in Dec. you'll be able to pull ahead in Sept.

Any word on whether the luxury grille might get further improved? For 2016, the grille louveres got dark gray paint to make it look more like a traditional MB grill. Ideally the louveres would just go away altogether...

A lot of misinformation here. The 2017 model year will NOT have a refresh for the C-Class coupe. The 2017 C-Class coupe is all new for 2017 not just a refresh.
They aren't adding a smaller turbo to the existing engine in the C300.
Some are confusing a refresh/facelift with a redesign.

Yeah the coupe is launching as a 2017 model. I simply speculated that if in 2018 MB brought Inline 6 engines back that the C300 will likely remain a 2.0 4 cylinder and MAYBE they'd do something to it like add an extra, smaller turbo. I know MB likely won't be bringing a 6 cylinder back to their entry level C and will reserve it for the C43.

There have been rumors of an inline 6 for a while, but who knows if it is really going to happen.
Highly doubt they would add another turbo to the 4 cylinder. they could easily just change the boost and remap the ECU and get say an extra 20hp to be more "competitive". Assuming its basically the same engine as the CLA45 , then there is a ton of headroom

Not sure why you would expect DapperStyle to have an official answer for you when the people "in the know" still don't know....

I've seen two Coupe guides, one from early June and one from June 16...the later included the options pricing...but I don't think I've seen a Sedan update. That said, I haven't been looking for a Sedan update, so it's possible I've overlooked it.

Is it better to get the 2017 C300-C43 during the winter event than it is to get a '16 model right now? I asked this question before and got yes responses. I asked the dealer and he said its better to take advantage of the winter event deals than get a '16 now. How would you explain this?
