Transmissions are completely different and each fit the character of the cars they are in.

My current 992 911 Targa GTS is a manual, not PDK, but I've owned multiple 911s with PDK. It is the best dual clutch made and is really bulletproof. Lightning fast shifts and it seriously reads your mind.

The 9 speed in the CLE53 is great and does its job very well but the shifts are nowhere near as quick and instantaneous as a PDK.

Ok, thanks! This is what I thought, so thanks for confirming. Never had anything near as good as PDK on my 911!!

Noticed that your replacement is so equipped.

Question here, can the HUD feature be turned off ?? Dislike it myself though recall reading that the MBUX subset of the Pinnacle Package is required for the dash cam feature.

TIA and congrats on the great car.

I haven’t tried the head up display in a CLE 53, but the owners manual says it can be turned on or off. There are a lot of different display options possible on the head up display. You are correct that the “Augmented Reality for Navigation” is required for the dash cam. The camera that is used for the dash cam is also used for the augmented reality feature. Augmented Reality for Navigation is part of the Pinnacle Package in the USA.

Friend found this video so I will link it here, I don't know about you but I hear a V8 in this video, does it sound like a V8 to you? If so, the CLE 63 might indeed be the vehicle you are waiting for.

KCviper

Well it sure does sound throaty (if that is a word ). I think there is a good chance it's a V8!! Guess we will know more soon!!?? Thanks for sharing that vid.

W205C43PFL

Yup : ) and you are welcome, credit goes to my friend for finding this video to be honest.

Amazing! Time to check it out! Thanks for such great news this morning!

Site doesn't load though, can you post the pictures instead?

Mayur999

He didnt post any pics yet, just the short video reel. They received two so far.

W205C43PFL

I see, link still doesn't work, I give up. I would be on my way to Brampton instead of typing this if it wasn't because I had other things to do this day : (

Spoke to Steve ( whos contact I gave you before) and he said neither of the cars are sold as of yet. The two specs are:

1. White with night package and red interior, black rims

2. Black car with no night package and silver rims, black interior

He had marked off the white one for me, but I am not a fan of the red interior. Deciding I will just hold out at this point.

W205C43PFL

Thank you hopefully I find time to check it out tomorrow or the coming days.

W205C43PFL

Okay, so it seems like we are getting a V8 in the CLE 63 a much higher possibility given this: https://mbworld.org/forums/cle-class...ml#post9010618

KCviper

Yeah, I saw those vids.......still waiting on more "official" announcement from MB, but looking positive for V8!! Personally, I think it's good that CLE will be offered in multiple trim levels. People can get what they are most interested in. Thanks much!

W205C43PFL

Certainly : )

You're most welcome : )

Video literally says: Does not sound like a V8” 🤣🤣

To me it sounds like c63 4cyl 😩

W205C43PFL

Should had translated that part but i don't know, it sounds a little throaty for a four, unless those were speakers outside the vehicle. It also sounds like the driver purposely feathered the throttle to make it sound less as it does.
