1986 Light Ivory R107 560SL & 2024 W206 Starling Blue C300 4MATIC AMG-Line, Exclusive Trim
Finally they made parking sensors standard! Not something all that important to me in the US but it’s still about damn time. Also much prefer the trim level groupings. Looks like they made all the “premium” package stuff standard and left it with just exclusive and pinnacle. Also looks like pinnacle got a complete overhaul and I think it makes much more sense especially with it including the digital lights.

Especially want to empathize this, I mean it is called pinnacle for a reason, baffles me why it wasn't included in this to begin with for MY22.

Exactly! In France there are 4 trim levels. Pack Avantage, Pack Avantage Plus, Pack Premium and Pack Premium Plus. Pack premium gets you the digital lights and Pack Premium Plus gets you the digital lights with the projection function. Their trim groupings which they have used within the last decade across most models has made perfect sense. MBUSA could really use some help from their European colleagues…

I also wish MBUSA will bring the European configurator over, it loads slower yes but it is so much more detailed.

Agreed. The MBUSA configurator does a great job at showing what you car might look like with certain packages, but the truth is it’s missing a lot of smaller stand alone options found in the order guides that you wouldn’t know are there if you only looked at the website. The European sites go overboard and show every little thing available, it’s almost as overwhelming as the Porsche configurators lol but they do a good job of being much more realistic not only exterior/interior picture wise but also option wise.

This is just my pet peeve but for some reason the MBUSA configurator never lets you point the car straight at you

Why they changed a red color!
Honestly one of the weirdest changes considering how little people spec red. I wonder how much of a difference there actually is between the two, because in photos they look nearly identical. When MB dropped Lunar blue and replaced it with Nautical blue on most models, it barely looked different, maybe a shade or two lighter? As an owner of a lunar blue car, I honestly can’t tell the difference unless the sun is absolutely beaming on it.

I don’t understand why there are so few color choices. I would love to see a racing green C Class (similar to Jaguar or Bentley) with saddle interiors
Verde Silver is a little green, and some model years have emerald green.
Cardinal Red is a little orange in strong sunlight. MB chose Patagonia Red (not orange) and maybe they want to make space for a stand alone orange color?
I should've never clicked on the link to configure the car in German. Damn! So many options missing, WTH Mercedes!
1) Where's the electric version of the c300?
2) No rear wheel turning?
I mean there's more stuff that I didn't even hear of before but I wouldn't need like changing foot pedel orientation, how much the chair can move (I think).

also no rear controls for the hvac, no rear window shades, no seat massage

I mean USA market cars are more expensive all said and done compared to in Germany. That said, I am pretty sure MBUSA saved the RWS for the C 43 on purpose.
