ANY INFO ON WHEN THE C & A 217 WILL BE DROPPED?
 
Any word on when the A & C 217 will be dropped from the line-up?
The reason I ask is that I have heard that rumor for some time and the coupe & cabriolet are low volume models. Therefore, I expected
them to be dropped by now.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

MB accepted my Euro Delivey order for a 2020 S560 Cabriolet, so there will be a 2020 model.

No dropping at all, the MY2020 model can already be ordered from mid june
New version only minor changes:

The performance models since mid July:

Will be nice to see if the U88 AMG Drive Unit buttons can be retrofitted on a MY19 car?!
Looks cool:

THANKS
 
Many thanks to both of you.
I foolishly believed internet rumors that the 19' C&A would be the last years of production due to poor sales.
Consequently I bought a 19' coupe.
Lesson: Do not believe everything you read on the net.

2020 to be last year for coupe &cabriolet
 
Just received a "Yahoo Alert" about the 2020 Frankfurt/M-B presentation.
The sedan will continue in the long wheelbase version. However, the coupe and cabriolet will be discontinued after 2020..
We shall see.

Seems to be a staggered phase out with S65 production ending after 2019, and probably cabriolet ending after 2020. Some have said the coupe may continue production in S560/S63 form into the next decade in low numbers, with no replacement from the W223 platform forthcoming.

I do think or at least hope a high end coupe will always be atop the Mercedes offerings. Perhaps the A217 will be merged into the SL replacement as a 2+2 soft top, and the C217 will eventually be replaced by something completely new, maybe derived from the Vision 6 concept... which would be incredible but likely exceedingly expensive and many years away.
