What do you want to know?

Hi,

I expect it'll arrive next year. MB are developing a range of new petrol engines, including a new 2ltr unit, so I'm sure we will see more petrol variants when the FL is launched

Great, thanks.

I will probably see you then!

In the style of Alan Partidge:

"Would you accept.................£60,310?



On a more serious note James when is the C Class face lift due? I'm wondering if they'll be a few lease bargains available on the current model when facelift is due?

I believe the screen on facelift has been integrated into dash. I quite like the current set up (think I'm the only one TBH) so happy to snap up a bargin.

Any idea if flip keys for a 2001 ML55 are available, or are becoming available?
Thanks

Though Indications online have been for a reveal this year, but it's not on the business plan head office sent to us in December. I think it'll be a spring reveal for summer arrival. There may be slightly higher support, but it's still selling very well, so I don't think they will be astronomical

Unfortunately that's not something I really know anything about. Apologies

Two questions:

When will the "new" CLS be out? Early 2018?

Is the new W213 E63 only available with 4Matic? If so, are there any plans to release a "permanent" RWD version?

Thanks.

And I think the VW version is even more!

The new CLS is planned for an autumn reveal, so early 2018 arrival.

There's no way they will bring a RWD version of the E63 out, not when they've developed the new 4Matic+ system. It can be RWD on demand

Out of interest, is it offered in RWD elsewhere?

No, I don't really understand why you'd want it to be. It's got way too much power imo

No, I don't really understand why you'd want it to be.

Because, in my opinion, there's more to life than 0-60 times, I've driven a few 4WD cars with over 600bhp and besides the Huracan, they were all boring, the RS6 being the most sleep inducing.

I just think it's a shame that Mercedes have taken this route, but it's obviously a side effect of the constant bhp arms race between the Teutonic manufacturers.

The only reason they weren't 4WD in the uk before was because the platforms couldn't accommodate it

VW costs less but has less kit (for example: auto, shower attachment and electric sliding rear door are options; and rear tailgate is manual only, electric on MB).

VW is better integrated though; the table folds into the sliding door and the chairs are stored in the rear tailgate.

MB table and chairs are in a basket at the rear, which makes the rear compartment messy.

JBD.

I will be getting a C63 from you for March 1st delivery so will be coming in towards the end of summer to place my order. Couple of questions:

1. Salesmans hat off...is the S worth the extra £7kish or are you just paying for the S badge vanity?

2. Do you offer the Edition 1 decal kit? I think they look immense on the right colour car.

3. Coupe or Saloon? I am dithering between the two. What is the general consensus from where you sit? I know it's totally personal preference but thought I'd ask.

4. Are there likely to be any interior or exterior changes between now and March 18?
