I have been car-less since may just waiting for the C63s. Thought it would be released sooner.

MBWorld Fanatic!
Long time watcher- first post and figured I'd add some hope to all those who wait.
My SA called me yesterday to email me financing and sales documents since the C43 AMG Sedan will be here before November 1st. It's built and in processing ready to be released by Merc USA.
Pretty excited too since the current Mercedes financing deal is 2.9 for 72 months- even my credit union couldn't match that... They could get 3.49 at 60 months. Ordered this back in May.

It is the coupe and if it is true and the numbers are good, I will trade my Macan for this.
Only option that this car is missing for me, it's the AMG seats.
See the attached.

In Canada, the cars have been here since July or so. They have recently been transported about 15min from my dealer earlier this month so we are kind of just waiting official release my MB Canada/USA.
Once the OK is given the car should get to us pretty soon.

So I reached out to MBUSA directly to hopefully get more information on the release date for the US. Their response below.
"Thank you for your email to Mercedes-Benz USA, and congratulations on your order!
The 2019 C43 AMG has an anticipated release for mid-November. Please be advised these dates are tentative and are always subject to change.
Best wishes for future safe and pleasant driving!"

2019 c43 coupe (ordered)
I ordered mine in May.
Dealer just informed me my car arrives in the US in Nov. 1, then 2 weeks thereafter to clear customs. I should have my car by mid-November.
My car is almost fully loaded except the sport seats. I'll be leasing.
About $71K (before taxes and fees).
Selenite Metallic Grey ($720)
-Multimedia package ($2300)
-AMG performance studio package: night package, 19" wheel, AMG optics package ($3000)
-Driver assistance package ($1800)
-Silver interior fiberglass trim ($975)
-AMG steering wheel ($500)
-Digital cluster ($750)
-AMG performance exhaust ($1250)
-Heads-up Display ($990)
I didn't get the performance/leather seats or LED multi-beams.
My car will look almost identical to this one, except the headlights, seats, and wheels:

Its really without a doubt better than pre-facelift, the gearbox has been modified in a better way in lower gears, no more shocks when you drive slowly in sport+ in gear 1 or 2 when you only press gas pedal half way. I'm in break in period so I must drive most of the time in comfort mode and must change gears before 4500rpm so haven't really done a sprint but the sound of the PE is amazing, my dealer say its very hard to hear the difference between the c63 pfl and the c43 after the facelift with PE and I agree on that. Inside the car it sounds a little bit fake thru the rear boxes but thats only when you drive slowly in sport+. when the gearbox switch you have the nice gorgling, but that seems to be the same as pfl.
The car handles just amazing, I've got an maserati and I always thought that the mercedes wouldn't drive as good as the maserati but my opinion changed, biggest difference is that this c43 feels really light and by its 4 matic you can take corners at really high speed without losing any grip.
All interior changes are so nice, the steering wheel, the digital dashboard, the bigger screen the interface of the multimedia, you can do so much while driving that it actually is dangerous to keep your eyes on the road.
Its cool to charge your smartphone wireless, the "mercedes me" app took 2 days till it worked but now everything works and I can open en close the car with my phone. Trace my car ect.
If I had to add 1 negative point than it would be this: when you just start the car it takes a few mins till the comand is fully ready, first 3 mins its really slow and also it took 5 mins till it started to play music on my smartphone after starting the car.
