2018 C300 Release Date

My dealer says the 2018 hasn't been released yet. Anyone know when it will be? Or do any of the Bay Area dealers have any in stock? I would like to test drive one and compare it to an 2018 A4 (which appears to be at dealers).

Should be in the next few weeks.

For what I know, the only difference between 2017 and 2018 is the 9-speed transmission. Maybe you can try a 2017 now and then try a 2018 later.

It would be great if you can share your impressions of the C Class and the A4.

2018 C300
I live in the Bay Area and am waiting for a C300 ordered in early July. So far, the only 2018 C-class cars that I have seen online in local dealer inventory are convertibles or C43's.

I agree with mis3 that the differences between the 2017 and 2018 models would not make much difference when comparing the two cars. The C300 and A4 were also my two finalists and I drove 2017 versions of both before picking the C300.

DC area - 2018s are here. Sedans and convertibles. Interesting thing is all of the 18s on dealers here, even sedans, have W vins. I thought all sedans were 5 vins for Alabama?

Some of the sedans are being made in South Africa. They will have a VIN that starts with W.
