Exclamation W205 C300 4matic so soon??

Well I was at the local dealership this afternoon and to my surprise they have a W205 C300 in their showroom! I'm curious to know if more W205 have landed in other US locations....
Car is better in person but I still find the rear end a bit strange and the front too long. The interior is definitely a upgrade from the W204. I like the steering wheel and upholstery. The ipad screen didn't really bother me. You have to get used to the gear shifter at the steering wheel though.
The back seats seem a little bit more spacious. The pano roof is a nice feature.
All in all it is a nice car. I just hope the AMG version will be more aggressive.
Sticker price for this model is $50400. The SA told me they are taking deposit already. I didn't take lot of pictures since I was in a hurry but here they are.

That interior is so much nicer than a BMW 3 series.

I am hoping the AMG will make the car a lot more aggressive though

I really don't like the interior especially compared to the W204.. the floating screen gets on my nerves and I have never liked the round air vents. Not a fan. But I'm happy with what I am looking at with the 2014 and a lot of people don't seem to like it. Lol.. for the exterior I really hope they do something wonderful for the AMG otherwise I'll just skip a generation.

Thanks for the pictures.

I'm with Panzer. The floating screen looks odd. As if it were an afterthought.
It's one step away from being suction cupped to the windshield like a TomTom.

I'll take the interior in my 507 over that any day but I am interested to see what AMG ends up doing. Something needs done with the exterior look for sure.

For once, I agree with you.


For all you guys saying negative things about the new interior, and praising the old one, I gotta laugh.
It sounds like you're completely biased and defending your personal car.
The old design was terrible in my opinion and a reason to buy another brand.
The C-class has the best interior I've seen in a long time.
The first time I saw the new C-class interior I said to myself "I can see myself in there all day and that's my future daily driver."
Sure, the "floating screen" in new and takes some getting used to, but the rest of the interior is jaw dropping.


I own C6 Corvettes. Even I can admit the new C7 has a better interior than my cars.
But, the C7 doesnt offer a modern drivetrain with DCT or AWD, so my new daily driver will probably be the C63.

With that thing on the dash it's way too pod like for my taste. The rest looks fine.
Obvisouly going after a generation different than mine.

The Interior is awesome.

Gotta see the car in the flesh to really appreciate the exterior lines. Im sure the AMG packages will add a bit more aggressiveness. Lets see.

I don't mind the iPad.

That price of $50K for the 2.0L I4 will make the added content of the C63 for $20Kish seem like a bargain.
