2024 C 43 Order Guide
Two questions. Based on the guide, it seems like you can actually order a Patagonia red with the red interior but not tan?
Bigger question that I'd really appreciate any help with is with the rear side impact airbags. I swear, unless I've truly lost it, as recently as last night on the configurator for 2023 models the rear side airbags were an option for $700. The option disappeared today but when you go digging through the site and look at the specs and go to safety you see that it appears they're standard now. On the 2024 guide the dealer had, in the "whats new" section we saw that rear impact airbags were now standard (curtains were always standard, these are the rear thorax bags). Does anyone know if this in indeed the case and the rear thorax bags are now a standard item? You can see below it seems that the site now shows them being standard.
Yet weirdly when you see this list of features it says 7 standard air bags although the next line then lists rear side impact separately. Safe to assume this is a recent update and someone forgot to to change the number or more neatly convey this information? Have to chuckle at them being shown as "standard" and then described right below those words as optionally available.

All other things being equal...
2024 is missing the "894 Enhanced Ambient Lighting" (D9C credit) and also cannot add 581 4-zone climate control for likely Oct/Nov delivery.
2023 has 581 4-zone climate control and Enhanced Ambient Lighting but missing "Standard 871 Hands-Free Access" (D9B credit) for possible July delivery.
Having waited this long already, leaning towards waiting for a 2024...

vs
The second ring is gloss black vs aluminum. I, personally, never noticed this until it was said and I typically have a really good eye for things like that.




Dealer had allocation for 11/14/23 build date one and I reserved one with my build.
Did you guys order yours?
If so, please share your build date.
I thought all AMG were built in factory in Germany, but my dealer said C43 will assembly in South Africa factory.
Also, my dealer not saying any deleting options yet.
