From Car and Driver:

Mercedes-Benz will debut its latest infotainment system at the CES electronics show in Las Vegas in January. The new infotainment system, to be named Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX), will begin appearing in Mercedes vehicles next year.

It won’t be limited to the most expensive Mercedes products, either. The three-pointed-star brand confirmed that the improved infotainment system will come standard on the forthcoming entry-level A-class sedan. While Mercedes is remaining tight-lipped about the details surrounding the new system, the company did release images of the new A-class interior showing the subcompact sedan will supplant the system’s usual control knob with a large touchpad. Currently, Mercedes limits infotainment inputs to a central control knob or an available touchpad that sits atop the standard control knob. We’ve heard that a touchscreen is a possibility as well.

Since we're all dreaming.. Lose the Horrible Run Flats, Give me a choice of a Square Tire setup instead of the pointless Staggered setup.. Maybe nice 18x8.5 with 245/40/18" all around.. and a Real Spare and a Jack. I could care less about canards or the inside of the leds or digital Dashboards (it is cool though :-) Even make it an option, I'd PAY!

Well if anyone had the best opportunity to make something like that work, it would be the company that designs and manufactures the car

Thanks for posting gary. That's the new green color offered too.

I seriously think the bumper and headlight revision is a downgrade

The tailpipes are certainly an improvement over the current stock ones, but not as nice as the C63 trapezoids.

Personally I prefer round exhaust tips.

I agree. But they have to keep some things exclusive to the 63.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if the 63 got more trapezoidal ones to mock that of the GT-R

I'm going to guess no as the tail lights have changed.

My mistake, it would make more sense to not have the moulds changed for a minor facelift

I was told it is only 385 by multiple news sources: https://www.motorauthority.com/news/...r-geneva-debut

Also, what was their stated fuel consumption for the 2018 C43? I think 11.4 or 11.7, how did they manage to get it to 9.3-9.1?!

I guess the new, lower bumper and front wheel vents significantly affects aerodynamics.

It's 390 as per official AMG announcement.

I think the 390 is Europe and 385 is USA... like the 2018 was 367 Europe and 362 USA
