Thanks for sharing, looking forward to your initial impressions of the vehicle. Is that spectral blue/starling blue? Great choice!

I was also happy/relieved to learn the Burmester was not omitted.
I may have only one small regret, but I’ll only know after taking delivery and driving over months. I chose the fineline anthracite trim and metal weave center console because I wanted to minimize glossy surfaces and I did not want piano black. But in this thread I learned that the silver diamond finish is more matte, and not glossy. I assumed it was glossy.
More to come after I drive it.
but my dealer invited me to come and check out the dealer trainer model a couple/few months ago, so at least I had a couple in-person first impressions from a few minutes to check out the car. Overall I liked it and overall materials quality was better in person than some YouTube reviews indicated. Definitely comfortable, but it takes longer road trips to really know. Somehow both more luxurious and more sporty than W205…at least that was my impression from, again, only a few minutes with the dealer trainer before their mechanics got their training.
Looking forward to tomorrow or Friday.

Yes, it’s spectral/starling blue. When I ordered the car 12 months ago, I was worried that this blue would be too bright. But in the photo, in bright sunshine, I think it looks great!

Looking forward to your initial impressions especially ride quality for AMG line models since we don't have adjustable dampers.
Congrats!

I like body color spoilers, but I am getting the studio pack which makes all that jazz black - so kinda a hypocrite at the end of the day

I just wrapped up a 30ish mile drive in one of the C300s. I am even more impressed than I expected to be.
From the drivers seat you almost feel as though you're in the S and the 48v makes the stop/start feature almost imperceptible as well as offering the same sailing mode from the I6 48v system.
