With all due respect, I’m not really that interested. The performance gains don’t mean that much to me.

So it seems that Apple Car Play is not on the 2015 model year? Best system to buy for an upgrade?

Do the 2016 models and newer have CarPlay?

Fair enough, thanks for chiming in with your comments though.

Just install an aftermarket Android screen replacing the centre screen as that offers both smartphone integration solutions or use one of the Smartphone integration boxes that you plug in the vehicle, I think we have a sponsor here on the forums that sells those, forgot who.

Still in the vehicle browsing mode but have made the decision that the C300/400 is too small for what we want as our next car. Saw one out on our walk yesterday and realized its size and the styling just did not POP for us. I knew from the numbers that it was a shorter vehicle already but once my wife saw it then it was a firm no.

Back to browsing at this point.

Agreed, I've been eyeballing E-classes too. To me, they are just the right balance of having decent size without being too big.

And, with used car prices in the US finally starting to decrease, there are some decent deals on S-classes out there too if you want to go even larger.

If the s is in the budget it’s amazing.
Unless ur going E class AMG, I personally like the 540 more.
never driven the Audi 7 so can’t compare but clearly u will drive them and see what u like!!

But... if you were not crazy about the styling on the C-class then you probably want to look at another brand, as the C/E and S share the same styling, just at different scales.

Yes, but if the c was to small and not as much luxury as op wanted
then e & s solve that issue
but if u don’t like the look then move on OR get an s with a wide body kit 🤣🤣🤣🤣 joke

Also, if you want to look at MB with different styling from the mainline sedans, you may want to look at the CLS 4-door coupe.
