2017 C350e Plug in Hybrid?
Is the 2017 C350e PHEV available in the USA? None of my local MB dealers have a clue when it will arrive in the showrooms. I'm in NJ.

Not really but kinda? My local dealer doesn't sell the c350e, so I test drove a c300 and loved it. Then I test drove a BMW 330e since it's similar to the Mercedes c350e. I hated the car, but loved the hybrid engine. So I figured if I could get everything I loved about the Mercedes c300 but with the hybrid engine from the BMW then I'd be happy. I ended up ordering one from Dallas, but they're still waiting on a build slot.

Odd 
I don't understand why the C350e is not available in NJ yet. NJ is one of the states that has adopted CA's clean car standards and MB's corporate HQ was in NJ until fairly recently.
We test drove the BMW 330e 6 months ago and liked it a lot. We have an X5 40e PHEV. MB seems like they're a bit slow out of the gate.

I couldn't get too close ! it was the hybrid with out of state plates .my local dealership in the north bay doesn't have any either . I'm in the Bay Area , it was my first time seeing one.
taken with my poor iPhone 6s Plus camera , in my 2016 Malibu , the c300 makes me miserable around San Francisco, potholes literally hurt lol finally I had enough and got this Malibu.

It's like MB don't want to sell any C350e's. No dealerships in NJ had any, nor did they know anything about the car - even though NJ is a California emissions state and supposedly one of the states designated for MB PHEV sales. MB USA was equally clueless.
Ended up buying a BMW 330e PHEV and very happy with it

I drive a C 350e T. Some people have asked about the all-electric EV range in the winter. So I decided to make a video: Starting the car in E-Mode and seeing how long does it go in the freezing weather.
