Thanks for this. One thing I noticed is that 2023 C43 Coupe is $62,600 and usually the coupe is more expensive than the sedan so it seems like the C43 sedan should be right around $60K
That is usually true but 2023 C43 coupe is the previous gen ( W205 ) . So It could be more than $60K .

Expect to pay mid/upper 70's for a well optioned 43. 60 will get you bare bones.
Dropped by my dealer earlier today and was pleasantly surprised. Seems my production date was moved from January to October. With that being said, my SA said it’s still anyone’s guess when we will actually see the car. One of his other customers had a GLB produced early July, and it still hasn’t shipped; which of course comes before the inevitable hold at the VPC in Baltimore.

It was refreshing news nonetheless.
congrats!! Ihope everyone in this forum gets c43s before 2024!🤞
Are the performance seats unique to this model? I am just trying to find out how comfortable they are. I read reviews where some liked them a lot but others thought the seats felt kind of hard.

They are brand new and first debuted in the C43 - so there is no feedback other than the reviews online. All press cars from original launch were equipped with the performance seats.
Previous gen of these seats certainly have mixed reviews - some say they are MORE comfortable - some say the complete opposite. It's a gamble and if comfort is a high priority I would spec the normal/standard seats.

There is also the advanced seat package with multicontour seats, are those different? In the BMW world so named seats are super comfortable.
And there is no option for massage seats, right?

I would not liken that advanced option to that of BMW or Porsche. It may give you more adjustment to eventually be comfortable in the performance seats but I would not consider it a comfort option.
It doesn't look like massage is available.

C43: AMG Performance Seat packages are limited in availability in CY22, and TBD availability in CY23.
On a side note - it could be an extremely desirable option due to the limited nature.
Personally, I don't think the interior looks right without them. A top trim c300 is basically identical with a few exceptions.
So I just spoke to my SA today. He says they have been having issues with their online systems and tracking the builds.
He told me the current production date showing on the system is 22-Nov-22. He says production should be complete by the end of November and the car should be here in December.
4 weeks ago he told my production date had slipped from Nov to Jan so I don't know if the system was messing up or what..... I don't know really what to think.....

I asked my guy last Tuesday after I saw a post or two on here about production dates changing and he told me that nobody can trust Netstar right now after, as someone mentioned, it's been funky for a few weeks. I haven't asked if it's back up yet though.

I'm new to the forum (located in MD) and new to being a soon to be Mercedes owner. I debated between an M440i and CLA 45, but after driving both, the interior was my breaking point. The CLA is a fun drive but unless you're an infant, there's no comfort in that backseat and I need a daily driver that is a combo of fun, comfort and luxury. I just placed my order for a C43 on 10 Sep. I just wanted to post a shout out to all of you to say thank you. All of you have helped me through learning more about the car and the process. The more I read through this forum again and again, I start to wonder should I change my color from Polar White? To those of you getting the Starling Blue....it's such a gorgeous color!! I wish I could commit to it lol. Here's hoping we'll all have pics posted of our new whips by Summer 23.
Glad you found some helpful posts in this long string lol
White and blue are the most common colors I've seen the w206 c300 on the road in - probably because they look great. I have yet to see any darker colors represented. It's hard to decide because the cars proportions and lines are so good - but at the same rate you can't really make the wrong decision for that same reason.
Lunar blue and mojave silver will probably be the most unique options.

Since MB marketed the W206 C 43 in Hyacinth Red, I wonder why it is actually pretty rare to see it other than from press cars? I also don't see Hyacinth Red that often if any on the W206 either. I guess it is because the colour is not for everyone, which I mean makes sense.

I'm Starling Blue and I second guess it every day lol..... I chose it to be different I guess.... hoping it stands out. The Selenite magno looks awesome but I don't want another grey car (my current CLA is mountain grey and my wife said they look too similar)

HAHA! I can understand that, but I also know heads will turn when they see you rollin. That magno crushes for sure, but I cannot get behind it. It reminds me of the denim colors on Harleys and I wonder if touching it proves the same result. I figure although white is pretty common, I think Polar White is a bit less common than the moonlight white. I completely agree with Alexasa, we can't really make a wrong decision on color. My biggest thing is since I chose such a neutral color, I find a way to personalize it as best as possible. Seems like wheels will be the biggest factor. I still can't believe no choices for black rims or caliper covers. Truly disappointing!!
Bare with me, but it seems like the rear diffuser is first, missing the additional horizontal splitter included in the studio package and second matches that two fin style of the w206 c63 spotted earlier this year, as opposed to the version we saw on the initial press cars that had the 4 fin style.
Anyone want to take some bets on if I will get a positive update tomorrow, 9/20, on build status? ALLEDGEDLY tomorrow mine should start production.....
