He usually does those videos a few weeks to a month after the initial no talking drive. At least that is what I have seen, and how he formatted it.

@alexasa My VIN seems to be decoded in the MB.VIN site... I think this includes everything?!!? Mind giving it a once over to let me know your thoughts?

651A - is weird to see - that indicates you might have the grey accent in the seat holes. (where the yellow is below)
I also don't see studio pack unless 36P is the code for that. I'd have to check some EU VINs to match the code for studio pack - I'd think it'd be listed as DC2 though. The other AMG styling cues listed are all standard with the c43.



mb.vin has banned my work IP I guess. lol - too many searches?

Haha, interesting - it does show all of the packages including the studio here, but it's not filled in.

Yeah since I never saw them, I assumed they were red. Will be curious to see. I guess the next step is to understand when it gets on a ship at this point. Hopefully this timing matches everything we hope/expect with a launch in late feb/march and doesn't hold anything up.

Would you care if you had grey accents? probably goes well with your spec. I really think you spcc'd the car awesome.

My car will be a lighter version of yours. My MSRP is right at the 69k mark before delivery. My build is weird, I always build cars slightly strange.

here we go (I've only ever seen this option with the full leather performance seat not the alcantara): So it's either nonsense or supply chain on red leather? lol

I think it should go well if it were in silver too - I do not mind. The seatbelts will be red, but there are lots of silver pieces inside too. Thanks!! Do you have a build breakdown of yours again? I remember them being pretty similar.

Also, maybe this is part of the Studio?

Perfect! P60 & 36P both on my build so Studio confirmed.

I do like my car in silver, even though I have the Iridium Silver (right now) so yours should look great with the 20" wheels too. I think the main difference in ours are some of the smaller add-ons I put in like heated wheel, pano roof, and performance sound. Everything else is similar (19 wheels instead of 20) so I would bet both of ours have everything included.

Mine is saying this right at the top too:

Fabric/imitation leather/microfiber - black/anthracite (651)

with the same 651A code. I think that means all the stitching will also be gray. I almost wish I didn't have red seat belts if that is true but I am happy with the anthracite contrast otherwise. I still think it could just be a nonsense decoder error. IDK - the grey accent interior will probably be stupid rare if it actually does come like that.

Another pic of this interior:

I still think this looks really good. I don't think I will be mad if it ends not having red on the inside.

Looks like we are not done, there are more (seems like Australia embargo got lifted around that time)

Hopefully this means that there are North American spec reviews coming out soon, or that the release in general is imminent.

another review - this one has a tested 0-100 kph at 4.65 - which is sad. IDK if this just shows that we can expect QC problems but that does not match what EU tests were showing. (please keep in mind 0-100 kph is 0-62 mph which typically adds a tenth to the time).

One of the AU reviews likes the transmission and the other 3 don't. I'm not concerned with ride quality - I'd rather stiff/firm than floaty. My w205 is so floaty with stock suspension - there's nothing sporty about the ride even in Sport+.

Just need to wait for US reviews and some more real world testing for the numbers. I was really hoping for a consistent 0-60 in ~4.2 seconds.

something doesn’t add up. This is the only person that really has had issues with the car, especially the 0-60 time. I’m almost all cases cars are faster than the claimed time.

Seems weird to me
