What do you want to know?

Changes to the model range: 4 Matic available on C200, C220d, C250d. All changes from June production.

Thanks James - finally a 4Matic option

Now if only we could get a nice new 6 cylinder petrol/diesel option in the C-Class and drop the C250d engine in favour of a 350/400d - Please

Was anything mentioned about the new straight six engines that are coming?

No, not at the moment. I don't expect we will hear anything about those this year (if at all)

No more Tenorite grey, it's been discontinued.

Brilliant Blue is now available on all C and GLC models.

Night package now available on c class

Shame about Tenorite as it does look very classy. I would have loved to have seen it on a C Class estate with a Night Pack.

Glad about the Brillant Blue being available across the range. It'll look fab on the GLC (even better with a Night Pack)

About time the Night Pack was available for the C. Replace all that old fashioned chrome with Black detailing.

Thanks James.

The E Coupe I looked at in the dealers compound was Tenorite and I nearly went for it as it looked very classy and suited the car, when I went back to the showroom it had already come off the configurator .

£51k for wifes C43. Looks superb

James, do you know have any insight into whether the MY17 4Matic C-Class will be available with the New OM654 Diesel and 9G Tronic auto?

If not, could you outline (briefly) whether MB have made any changes to improve the OM651 unit in the short term - I'm referring specifically to reliability (injection/cam chain) and NVH.

I fancy the idea of a new C-Class 4Matic but am not keen on the current engine set-up and if a 6 Cylinder option is some way off, what are we left with, other than the C43.....

Thanks - Mark

Any changes to the C350e spec - mine was ordered in January but will I guess be a post June build....

The new engine won't be in the c class until facelift in 2017. I can't imagine they will make any further engine changes until that point on the saloon. Obviously the 9Gtronic box is on the coupe at the moment

Ordered it in September last year and it was delayed until October this year, so I cancelled. Kept my company car and bought this

Shame about the focus James but I've got to say, you've got 2 lovely cars at your disposal. Luxury C200 and a sporty number for the weekends. Great combination.

Great looking MX5 mate.

Ant.

That MX5 looks great!!

Love the look of the new C convertible. Definately got my eye on one around June next year to replace the SLK..

By the way, is the top car the new E coupe? If so, it looks excellent!!

(And, another vote for loving tenorite grey! My current SLK is the second in that colour and I'll miss it... )

It's an "S" Class coupe and doesn't look good from that angle.

It's an S Class coupe in Kallaite green. It's a trim level we don't get in the uk

Ah! Ok, thanks!

Do you happen to know when C convertibles will be available in UK?

Hi JBD,

I’m new here, sorry if this has been asked already

I’m ordering the new W205 C Class coupe specs: C 200 AMG Line Coupé with Premium package in Polar White.

I wanted to know if the new coupe has a few features that’s I have seen on different websites:

Automatic belt feeder?

Lighting on the door handles when unlocking the car?

Lighting on the side mirrors when unlocking the car?

Thanks in advance.

Nice choice. Am looking at a class coupe myself. Test drove it the other day and loved it. Was just trying to choose the best engine for me.

Are you coming from an existing merc?
