It's a good car, let me commute my few km to work Electric. It's heavy though, far from the driving experience I had with my BMW. But it's a very comfortable and more quieter car. But if you don't get any benefits on govermental taxes, dont bother, the only reason I bought it is because it's 10000$ cheaper than C250.

It's unfortunate, because depending on road conditions it's really nice to be able to flip a switch and get a very different suspension set up, but I guess for most buyers it wasn't a necessity or priority.

I beg to differ with you. Smartphone integration cannot be ordered with multimedia on the CLA. Go to MBUSA build site.

I did the build on the site. cannot be built together. I have also discussed this issue with my dealer. Mercedes will not integrate smartphone on any of their cars with multimedia package/command. I wish they did. Message Fabrisd1. He works for Mercedes. He will tell you the same thing.

That is why I said it is possible it is just missing from the MM pack in the MY18 C Class and not that it is not possible to have both, that would be stupid. CLA has it under MM pack and they should have the same or similar NTG5.

Yeah I saw that coming. When I wanted a 16 with AirMatic there were exactly four new AirMatic equipped C's in the US. I ended up building one, because very few dealers ever ordered the package for their inventory cars.
It's unfortunate, because depending on road conditions it's really nice to be able to flip a switch and get a very different suspension set up, but I guess for most buyers it wasn't a necessity or priority.

The adjustable dampers on my C43 are nice, but a totally different approach and purpose.
Airmatic made the W205 feel much more like the mini S-class it looks like. Oh well.

Since I ordered, the 2018 C300 has shown up on the MB website. Compared to the ordering guide, the website price for the base C300 sedan is lower, $40,250 versus $40,600 in the guide. The dealer showed the premium driver assistance package as $3050, versus $3300 in the ordering guide and on the website. So MSRP has dropped $100 for what I ordered.

I guess the same is true for the Luxury Package. And I wonder if you can delete the standard sunroof? I don't like that thin fabric on the headliner (lets in too much sun).

2017 C300 Coupe - Sport Package
Looks like the DOG was updated to address some of the missing info:
- MSRP did drop to $40,250 from previously communicated $40,600
- AMG Line 'Sport Package' still includes the Sport Suspension, Sport Steering & Sport Brakes from MY17
- Standard sunroof does not have the flimsy shade of the Pano Roof - Has the solid shade of an E300
- Issue at the plant seems to have blocked 737+739 until further notice
