I am still waiting for my dealer's slot for an order.

Did the ordering guide come out? If you have a soft copy, could you email it over? Just curious to see it.

Shame about the emerald green...that is a gorgeous color

hmmwv79

Does anyone have start order 2020 C43 in US?

Capt Slo

Well I guess that makes my 2019 Emerald Green/Saddle Brown Designo interior w/AMG Performance seats a bit of a unicorn.

i wonder how the amg drive unit will work with AWD. I wonder if they'll provide the option to just do rear biased only....

Silverbird

I wouldn't be surprised if it's just acting as a short cut to the existing items on the various menus (traction control, PE, Drive mode)

nikodes

As of 4/16 graphite grey metallic paint no longer available for the sedan. Unfortunate as that’s the paint color I’ve been waiting for.

nikodes

Here’s the documentation on the drive unit.

Silverbird

Thanks for the info - looks nice. decently priced as well, for something fully optional (since the options it controls are all on the centre console)

This would be awesome and "gotta-have" if you could get different buttons on the centre console if you spec'd the Drive Unit (say more infotainment presents or a button to start TrackPace)

nikodes

Agreed. It would be nice if you could access fucntions hidden in the menu. I’d like to see a full list of options.

So when does production actually begin for the 2020 C43? Are the AMG models built in Alabama?

jerhu

C300, C43, c63 sedans built in Alabama
C300, c43, c63 coupes/cabs are built in Germany

Sailorlite

My 2010 GLK was built in May of 2009 and I bought it in August 2009. Considerably different circumstances then, but when would MB begin production of the 2020 C43 sedan?

It seems that buying a 2020 model might be worth the wait, if it's not too long.

Production should start in June/July as they are fulfilling the last of the custom orders for 2019 MY. Tack on at least a month for production and that would probably be the earliest. But, they have been getting snagged for EPA, etc. although I don't think that will happen considering the car is basically the same.

threefirs

Partially incorrect. C63 sedans are also built in Alabama.

jerhu

My apologies I did forget that.

Basically sedans built in Alabama and coupes and cans are built in Germany.

EdC43AMG

German website, since the 15th has the 2020 version for configuration. Soon it will be available in other Eu countries

as in other threads, same changes. Noticeable one the AMG drive unit as an option, and the rest basically the same

production begins in June.

Wish I could've gotten the matte chrome window trim and body color mirrors on my MY19. But unfortunately my color is gone for MY20.

Can't have it all. Sigh.

Nacelle

A very beautiful unicorn indeed...

guhvies

Read in the grapevine that C class production will be moving out of Alabama. Only SUVs will be built there...

hmmwv79

Damn... Then delay production is coming? ...

Grant Hummel

...when W206 enters production...

If you have a copy of the order guide, can you share? I am interested in ordering a 2020 but would like to see if before going into the dealership.
