Got one tonight...
The dealership in my town received 5 of them yesterday. My salesman called me and asked if I wanted to test drive one so I told him I can head there the next day (today). They've already sold 4 between yesterday and today and so luckily I was able to test drive one this late afternoon. Of all 5 cars, this is the only one they had that had the Sport Package (and it also had Bixenon), which are a MUST HAVE for me.
When I first saw this car online, I honestly thought it was "okay" looking but I was blown away when I saw it in person. I also definitely felt the power difference of this car especially since I live at 6500ft elevation...it's a night and day difference compared to my C300. Besides Sport Package and Bixenon, it also had Pano roof and Premium Package. It's in Jupiter Red with Black MB Tex and Aluminum trim interior. Sorry for the crappy phone pics. It was cold outside, was too excited, and so I couldn't get my hands steady while taking pics. Enjoy!

That is one beautiful car....I see they used the same steering wheel as the c250 coupe with sport plus package. Isn't it kind of weird that only the steering wheel has red stitching. I agree, xenon and amg sport package is a must. How much was msrp?

The red stitching was a nice touch but that is true. It would have been nice if it were on the door panel or dash as well, but I think that's part of an upgrade when you get the Leather seat option. MSRP was a little under $37K.

I drove one this past weekend. Somehow how I missed that fact that it was a front wheel drive car until I drove it. It looks good (even better) in person and to my eye looks bigger than a C. I think Merc did a nice job with car for what it is. The interior is spartan and the nav screen placement looks like an afterthought. Merc has to do something about this with the 2015 model. Overall, a good job. A black/gray interior, 18 inch wheels, nav with driver's assist was ordered for a family member.

I am just floored by how this car is selling. They moved 2310 of them in just the last few days of the month, but the C-Class did suffer and 18% drop last month.
