Good catch, I don't think any cars coming to the US will be specced like that.

Also, what happened to the seat adjustments on the doors @alexasa ? It looks like it is down below the seat and not on the doors...was this a cost-savings change?


I noticed that too.. it looks terrible. I would guess this one did not have full power seats?

The more I look at the pics the more comfortable I'm getting with not having the studio package. What I would miss is the rear spoiler but If I can get that aftermarket that would be golden

My guy just called me and gave me a bunch of updates:
  • Production complete 11/26, car arrived at the port today 11/28
  • Base price updated to the 59.9k (he told me that should be correct, any placeholder would be something like 7,999,999)
  • No idea what the deal is with the change of description for the wheels
  • Soonest it could physically arrive in the States is end of Dec but of course who knows when release is (he told me they like to aggregate a bunch before release)
  • There's about 45 in the States now, some have that placeholder MSRP and a bunch strangely have the exact same MSRP of just over 71k (even from different dealerships). All of these identical ones have the 20" wheels (not sure if RZX or RZY)

FINALLY received a build date today.
Order Placed: 9/10/22
Tentative Build Date: 3/23/23
Rep says should be here early May. However, I'm thinking the later part of May early June. A little progress which made my Cyber Monday! I hope that $59.9k price sticks. My build had the $7,999,999 placeholder.

^Liking the seat/door card stitching on this one too. Door cards almost need it to look more interesting.

selenite no studio (wagon)


More or less tagging these sites here so I can easily go back to check new inventory later on. Just curious to see as many specs as possible.

No cars depicted with performance seats, Swiss only gets T206? Still a long wait. I'm used to a 3 month turn around from ordering to receiving from previous cars.

^ that makes me think my grey accents wheels will be delivered as specced - and probably be an extremely rare option.

I would not be upset to get y spokes from the GLC 43 either though, that is a very handsome wheel that many people actually seek out a similar design in the aftermarket world. I still thinks it's possible y spokes are the same wheel too lol

This is AWESOME. Essentially we can make Night Package I into Night Package II after the fact

That spoiler might be the first thing I purchase...

Also, I think they can get any MB part even if it's not listed. I had entered a few ( as I knew the part #) and they were recognized as needed to be ordered.

@wetwillycf

Thank you for sharing. So how long did it actually take to complete a production?

looks like no more than 20 days from start to finish. It will be great to see how long it takes to get here too.

That’s not abnormal. MB tends to start new model’s production with something called “showroom units” also called “market launch vehicles” code 16P. These happen between production trial/pre pro and normal customer/dealer orders. Essentially MB pre specs a number of different configurations and builds a whole bunch of cars to these pre set configs and then tries to make them the first to dealerships. They’re supposed to not be sold immediately so people can test drive them. So it’s likely all these 71k cars are one of the showroom unit standardized configurations. These might be earlier vin cars (60000-90000) and customer/dealer ordered cars start after that, which is where we are now. Some thing happened with C300s between vins ~4500 (most 7500 or later) and 12000, a number of standardized configs, and then normal orders started being built after.

First cardinal I've seen. Lunar and Cardinal will certainly be the rarest, especially considering they have been discontinued, or will be.

And the two fin diffuser might be entirely because of the trailer hitch option in EU, etc.

Just out of curiosity, are there AMG crests on the headrest for C43?

I have seen the crests on the majority, if not all, of cars even without the performance seats.
