you are correct, it’s an inline 4 not a “V4” but in essence the w206 will be a 4 cylinder in general same as the A45, GLA, CLA etc. only different is that it will have an electric aspect to boost it to a higher HP range. The w206 will definitely be faster than a w205 and more fuel efficient. All you will be loosing is that sound and having a traditional engine. It’s just gonna come down to what you will want vs sacrifice. For me it’s the V8 sound & not looking forward to the new design inside & out. Those iPad screens are a no for me. One reason why I had to have the w205 is cause it still have the analog look but it’s digitalized. I can’t stand those iPad screens in the E & S classes smh.

Perhaps not everyone has seen this yet, but the specs of the W206 have already been leaked in the below spreadsheet. The M139 I4 engine is a given. It'll be complemented with the introduction of the new AMG E-Turbo and a 400V 20kWh Hybrid system bringing the total system output to 522 PS (515 HP) and will be called the C 63e to denote the new era. It'll also have 4matic+. Scheduled for the beginning of 2022. So far only the sedan and wagon has been leaked along with the other models in the spreadsheet. As you can see everything is going full or mild hybrid, with only the bigger AMGs still getting the V8 + hybrid. No word on the coupe or cabriolet yet, other than a rumor that both the C Class coupe/vert and E Class coupe/vert will be discontinued and replaced by a new CLE model positioned above the C Class and possibly with a V8 Hybrid powertrain since it'll be positioned closer to the E Class.

so you have to deal with it and everybody in Europe know it. New C63 will never have 8 cylinder engine.
if you want it, you have to buy amg Gt or amg Gt 4door.
