WOW
I called another dealer here in SoCal today to ask if they had any at VPC and the sale's rep told me not yet but the car should be released within the next few MONTHS he said.
My dealer instead, keeps telling me that its here and ready to go when MBUSA gives the green light to go on sale. I'm so tired of this.
Has anyone called their dealer and asked for ETA?

Same part number I think.

It looks like it. But I am not sure if this is compatible with w206 emblem.

Lol I think he was referring to the Formula 1 Alfa Romeo car. They called it the C43 for this 2023 year also.
Waiting on that W14 though....

Thanks for the pics as always alexasa. It's made me very happy I went with the 19"s and studio. Every time I see the side profile of the 20s, it just covers so much of the rotor and caliper...

Good news, my car went into production. Will follow up when I get the VIN to check what it's being equipped with. Hopefully nothing is omitted. Knowing my luck the car will arrive at the dealer when I'm out of the country.. lol

Two unpopular opinions:
1. The rear studio pack flics are odd looking.
2. 2023 C43 is most likely my next car, but im getting tired of the car already. Let me explain. I feel likes it been years of spy shots, and photos and press releases but no car. Like I feel bored of it already. Does that make sense? I've followed this car for so long I feel like it would be zero surprise in person. I've seen and driven the new w206 c300s with sport package so visually there won't be any bang other then small changes. I don't know. I'm worried to commit to it now 😕

Relateable.
I totally feel you. 100%. I first considered this car in Summer of 2021 I was about to get the V6 but then I heard that the C class would get that new body that Europe already had in late 2021. So I said to myself, Ill just wait for them to release the C43!
That was probably July 2021. Almost 20 months ago. I still remember going on YouTube last year and seeing the first C43, that fully loaded white one in the room reveal posted 4 hours ago by a German auto vlogger. I was blown away.
I'm currently carless and with no idea whatsoever of when we're going to get these, I've unfortunately begun considering other cars, like the E53, CLA45, M3, M340, S4, etc.
Also, A lot of my friends have pointed also out to me that it's not worth the price point. I do love it, but It is a pretty controversial car.
The price for mine, 71k, dealer told me my lease option would be $1017 with 10K down taxes included, and thats because im getting it at MSRP!
They told me almost everyone else will do 5/10k over. I didn't believe it, but when I called other dealers, nobody could do these numbers for me.
It seemed kind of high considering in my area you can get an M3 around 1100 with that downpayment, albeit my C43 is well loaded, came out to near the payments for a mildly-loaded M3. But this is a different breed of car.
My friends do lease specials and told me a little more and they could put me in an S500! I'm going to keep waiting for a little longer, I've waited this long already...

First, don't put any money down on the lease especially when there is an inflation, second, the M3 will lease even higher as the MSRP is higher and they don't go below if you can even get it (around here there a year waiting). E53 is about to be updated with new body style, Audi is never a good lease so it leaves you with m340i.
I think C43 is very competitive in its segment.
