Its awful, it represents everything wrong with the current Mercedes line up and its ****ty products. The brand has lost its way. I am proud to say I own a W 204 C 63 AMG. I would never be proud of owning this awful 4 cylinder jokes.

I hope it flops miserably so Mercedes learns that we don't want stupid screens, stupid gimmicks, the stupid TikTok integration (WTF), we want V8 cars with awesome build quality, with the usual Mercedes smell, and refinement. Not some overpriced joke. To make matters worse, Mercedes even screwed up their build quality, the W206 feels 2 cuts below the W205/W204 in build quality. Such a shame.
