Incorrect Badging
I picked up my factory order 2020 C43 Wagon. The car looks great and drives great. Very happy so far. My only question is that it says 4matic on the rear passenger side and not C43. I know the C300 cars have 4matic there. Is this a factory screw up? Or is this common with anyone else? Thanks!

FWIW, found a 2019 and the rear looks like this:

Yes, mine is a C43 but where the C43 emblem is shown on that picture it says 4matic. I think this is a factory screw up, but wanted to be sure.

searching for a c43 sedan
I've been car shopping a c450 and c43, and the badging is on either side, sometimes no AMG badging. So it kind of throws you off, but for the most part the cars are what they are (not a c300 badged with c450/c43 emblems).

Just de-badge it, it'll look better anyway.

Yes, i love the car! Did a little road trip to Niagara Falls last weekend and it was amazing. got a good gas mileage also (was very gentle though).
One thing i noticed is that wheel wells have a service door to access the headlight. This service door has a bad fitment (on both sides) and there are some holes around it. This means that water and slush make their way into the engine compartment. I wonder if this is the way it supposed to be (doubt it), or something is messed up on my car. I have to figure out how to stop salty slush getting in! Thinking about bringing it in...

It seems that Mercedes struggle with correctly badging their cars.
