Following up on this. Heard from my SA that, while the car is a mere 50 miles away from me sitting in port, he received an email from MB today saying that the C43 coupes are not expected to be released until October. No specific date in October. Just October... He said he will follow up when he hears more. I'll let you guys know what I hear.

Multiple accounts of this guidance coming directly from MB (including my SA), pretty safe for all to assume this is factual at this point I'd say.

Hopefully their schedule stays on track, and it's no later than October.

Yup...we are pretty much in a wait (and pray) and see phase now.

Noooooo, say it ain't so. I've primarily heard it's because we're waiting in line for certification, but I'm starting to believe the rumour that Mercedes is purposely holding them back so that they can blow through the remaining C450's. Here's to hoping that C450 sales skyrocket over the course of this weekend lol

Thing is they haven't been certified as they would show up on EPA's database by now otherwise.

At least its October as corroborated by multiple members. 2-3 weeks at the earliest I imagine before we hear the next update.

I've been a little annoyed that my build date isn't until the 3rd week of October for an early December delivery, but now it seems like that may not be that much of a delay after all.

It's interesting that the C43 isn't even an option that you can build on mbusa.com yet.

Yeah very strange its not up yet on the US site. It is up on the Canada site, but I don't think they have the same options as US cars.

I believe the US gets a choice between 3 premium packages, while us Canadians have all of the premium options bundled into one package.

C450 or C43?

Nice man, congrats! Believe this is the first sedan exhaust video I've seen here. The Brabus sounds great.

I'm fuc#king jealous!! By far the best I've heard so far. I wonder if it will sound similar on the C450?

.

How does it sound inside the car with the windows up? Is there any drone at low rpms with the valve open? Any interior videos? And finally, did you order with your C43 with the performance exhaust, and if u did, how much different is the Brabus vs the performance exhaust?

So I just got back from MB Brampton in the GTA and they had just gotten 3 C43 Sedan's in stock. I was driven around in one with the Performance exhaust and it sounded amazing to say the least. Lots of pops and burbles in Sport+ with valves open. Are the coupes going through a longer certification process?

Unfortunately the C43 with the Sport exhaust was pulled into the showroom for prep and I wasn't able to hear it's exhaust.

That being said, the experience was awesome.

.

Awesome, and the Coupe exhaust will sound even better (by design, per MB/AMG)...so you should be very happy in the end!

Thanks man, Are you in the United States? I'm curious on price for the Brabus Exhaust. I'm ready to order, I can't wait any longer

Congrats , it sounds really good , Little bit louder than the Amg performance exhaust but I'm sure it cost much more , right ?

Wow, awesome video.

Also, as a side note, as of today the C43 Sedan is on the roads, in Canada at least

Nice ride!!! Out of curiosity was your car built in the Alabama plant in the USA? Do you know when your build date was? Also does you car have the acoustic glass for the driver and passengers front windows? The acoustic glass looks like 2 pieces of glass glued together if you roll the front window down and look at the top of the glass.. this information would be very helpful for me and some others if you could tell us.. thank you and great sounding beast you got there!

That's awesome. I would assume the PE sounds better than SE anyway

Well that's VERY interesting... now I wonder what's up with the coupes, and if mine is actually moving or not. But good to hear some Sedans are showing up!
