Also very dependent on insurance company wanting to do business in the area. For example some companies charge very high rates in FL due to the amount of insurance fraud while others are very aggressive. In my case GEICO was just about half of USAA.

No you wont!! The exhaust and the 9 speed alone is worth the wait. I don't regret getting my C450, because I could not wait the extra year, even though I suspected the 9 speed was coming. (the exhaust is a pleasant surprise for you guys!) I will be ready to trade up to the E43 coupe in 2 years, hopefully the rumoured straight six will be ready by then.

There is nothing new in it from the last guide, only update made was the Base MSRP's were added. Not even worth posting now that I actually looked at it.

I think the timing varies a bit from what Vipershade has listed, so, here you all go:

Nope, not a chance. I don't mind a nice firm, sporty ride. For some people it will be a life saver though I'm sure.

This is for the Coupe, the Sedan is only $52K...so barely a price increase at all.

Any chance to at least send the items/packages pages etc. I don't need the fluff pages/pictures ! It would really be appreciated. I hate going to the dealer where I am until ready to order.

the coupe comes with more standard, equivalently equipped they cost within $1000 of each other.

i'm glad to pay that to get the styling and honestly having germans build my car without the taillights not being flush etc

Late Summer Release

Last C43 Sedan Rev had "August 2016" for release date, now it's changed to "late summer".

Any body knows when is "late summer"? My guess would be late Aug to Sep. So it's delayed. However, my estimated production date is still 1 week of August - didn't change since the DOG is out.

I wouldn't worry about the late summer/fall wording in the order guide, just the estimated production date and decade planned/scheduled for your build in Netstar.

I wonder if this is a new stardard seat for the X43's, in the base tex.mex.alcantera. So not the AMG sport seats, but it looks like a bit more DIN.MEX on the side bolsters and the AMG logo in the seat back?

this is from the E43 estate

C43 is More like this. Also, it's MB-TEX with DINAMICA.

There are pictures in the C sedan order guide exactly like this, specifically for the c43 (which are different than the C63 and C300). It is possible but very unlikely those pictures are totally wrong this close to build.

They may do a seat update during the mid-model refresh in the next couple of years, and who knows, it may be designed like this, but seats aren't a one-size fits all that they plan on just having a single part number and bolting the same seats in across the various lines.

Yeah those seats look exactly like the ones from the C43 order guides for the Sedan (the Coupes are slightly different in the upper seat, but mostly the same). The E43 and C43 don't share the same seats, at least not in the MY 2017s.

It is NOT from an ACTUAL C43. but it's the same seat from DOG. I think it should come very similar to this.

If you don't have more than 2 kids, then you might consider going for a test drive in a coupe to see if it fits your family.
I sat in the back of a coupe yesterday and was surprised at the space! I am 5'9" and just touched the roof, but not at all uncomfortable, and my knees barely touched the front seat with it in my driving position. So will definitely be fine for my 10 and 8 year old daughters!

You said that you have already ordered, yet I was informed orders couldn't be placed yet. Which dealership are you with?
