Finally! It'll be interesting how mbusa releases the other imminent/upcoming releases, S580e, EQE SUV, new GLC, and following that facelift GLE.

Glad to see things updating, though it's a tad disappointing to see performance seats only available in standard black leather. Might have to hold out to see if I can score Emerald Green on Sienna Brown on the '24s.

I wouldn't be surprised if MT/C&D post a ~3.8 0-60 times for the w206 c43. Meanwhile it should do the 1/4 mile in the 12.5 second range (+/- 1 tenth). Which should be really similar to w205 performance but still slower than the m340i - the m340i is just a beast hitting the 1/4 in the 12.3x range (again real world data and matching the tested figures on the same site).

Going back to this. Just did some correlational analysis. Everything post 2020 seems to have a completely unrealistic 0-60 times and don't even match real world testing. 1/4 mile times are very close, match real world data and the drag race calculator for advertised weight and power figures.

Somewhere in there BMW is superior. It's not number 1 and probably not 2.

I mean if you really care about 0-60, this may not be the right car for you
But this video shows the difference in advertised claims vs realistic measuring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8Px...channel=carwow
the B58 has ~150Nm on the M139

Interesting that Car & Driver put their own estimates for 0-60 knowing the 4.6 that MB put out there. That being said, 0-60 times or comparisons to other similar vehicles had zero weight towards my interest / continued interest in the '23 C43.

I've NEVER seen a real world draggy come back with 3.6 with a fully stock CLA45. All testing is right around the 4.0 mark. Like I previously said, all post 2020 data seems EXTREMELY skewed due to testing methodology. Thus my prediction for C&D/MT to post something around 3.8 0-60. Which should make all the keyboard warriors happy lol
In reality it should be like 4.1 via draggy results. Again 1/4 mile times seem pretty accurate so it's whatever weird rollout maths these publications are doing.

MT has the CLA45 at: Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class 2020 AWD 8A 3.6 sec 12.1 sec @ 113.6 mph Motor Trend (@https://www.0-60specs.com/0-60-times/)

Wow, that is quick. I will hear more tomorrow on transportation, so hopefully they will have some positive info on if it ends up on a truck ASAP. I'll let you know. My Dealership is about 4 hours from the VPC so not too far.
