I don't actually know but I'd imagine that just means in process at the VPC. Meaning they are waiting for something, final software, EPA - both? IDK

This is a long wait. Very odd.

We are 1 year away from seeing w206 face lift test cars on the road but still no c43 in the states. Wild.

So far I've never seen any c43 spec'ed with aluminum lines trim - no one likes how it looks? This is my spec

I think it looks pretty good for sure. was the only option for center console piano black? I only considered anything that let me get that out of there. That being said why does that screen look so weird... It looks cut in half or something.

In the US, aluminum lines can only be spec'ed with piano black according the order guide.
And hopefully that screen looks better in real life!

A rare spec on the sportier c43 but I have seen at least two cars with it:





exterior of this car:


The other trim option has been popping up more, the H08 - Fineline Anthracite Wood - pretty boring IMO. I really just wanted the same material on the upper and lower sections so it was metal weave or silver diamond for me - and non glossy made that pretty easy.

If you guys want to see something that I haven't posted just let me know lol.

Real functional diffuser - not found on the w205 or the m340 (both have fancy bumper covers):

Another event in SA for the car - not sure what this means for the US, if anything. There is a lunar car here and more aluminum line trim:

standard headlights look odd to me - they somehow make the front end look taller which reduces the sportiness

This. Ive been saying it on this topic for months month the standard lamps look terrible. I rather drop other add ons just to be sure to get digital lights. I'm surprised others on here seem to not care.

Checking EPA certs, from what I can tell it's been cleared since January. It's on the list of certified vehicles anyhow.

If it’s not the EPA then I wonder what the hold up is.

Final pricing for the monroney label for the car could hold the car up. I don't see window stickers on the cars at VPC posted earlier but I don't know how likely that could be if dealers show pricing. I think MB just have to pull the trigger. They are waiting for something like an official press release, more cars to show up, financial purposes of waiting for the second quarter to start, etc. are just some of the reasons I could even conjure.

I was really hoping the car would go on sale prior to my car showing up just for negotiation purposes.

True but the good news is that they literally just updated the W206 C300 from 2022 to 2023 in the last few days.

Without studio pack the side skirt is body colored instead of black. If I don't get studio I'm wrapping that little part black. Love how it lightens the side profile. Makes it look less bulky and longer

I agree. It will be black w/ Night pack 1 though. Which I think should be mandatory - car needs the black side skirt to reduce profile.

you can still order 2022 and 2023 in texas and California don't know the wait time I was told 4-6 months as most 2022 are still in transit as of march 2023 I would begin the hunt for a model arriving at a dealership with options you want and put down a deposit. My suggestion is don't skip out on the option to increase top speed and the studio performance package. You won't be disappointed I drove a lot of different cars new vets c53 M4 Porsche and this is by far the best choice get it before everything goes to a 4cyl hybrid

Some more from the event, I LOVE the 20's in all black on the F1 edition C63. I might have to try that out.
