Getting ready for a C450 Coupe AMG 4matic

[Calgarian]

Well I have now sold off my 2015 TLX SHAWD Elite with approx 20000kms on it for just over $42000 and most recently my 2005 M3 vert with approx 68000km. I'm getting ready to pounce on a C450 coupe and just have one all around nice car vs a winter/summer arrangement. As I'm getting older I want a bit more comfort to go along with the sport. Until the coupe arrives I will be driving a leased 2013 C350 4matic coupe, my first crack at a Mercedes. As I work at Silverhill Acura I do hope we will see a coupe sooner than latter however I'm not holding my breath. I liked the TLX but to big for my purposes and I absolutely loved my M3. Time for a change. Hopefuly the C350 will be as reliable as my previous Acura's. BTW I have a set of 4 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 225/50/18 for sale on kijiji (TLX SHAWD). Barely used and the best performance snow tire I have driven ever!

Has C450 coupe been announced for Canada? Is it AWD?

I really want a c63s coupe. After seeing a few more C sedans on the street, I'm totally not fond of the rear end any more.

Do the tires have rims to the fit the tlx?

The Coupe doesn't come out until next year around Sept. The snow tires are for sale without rims.

C450 AMG Coupe hasn't been announced yet. Only the C300 (RWD + 4MATIC) and C63 have been announced for model year 2017. Most likely, the C450 AMG Coupe will be a 2018 model year introduction, so we wont see it till fall 2017, so 2 years away.

It'll 100% have the AMG 33/66 4MATIC system.

I figure you'll see the 450 coupe in Sept 2016 as a 2017.

I'll bet you lunch that it's a 2018 model. :)

Quoted from Car and Driver
"Mercedes-Benz will offer the 362-hp C450 AMG starting at the end of summer 2016, powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6. The big bopper, of course, will be the Mercedes-AMG C63 that arrives concurrently with the C450; that one will be driven by the same twin-turbocharged, 469- or (in S-Model trim) 503-hp 4.0-liter V-8 that powers the AMG GT sports car."

I'm aware of what's been published, and I could be completely wrong. Make the bet. Lunch with a fellow MB enthusiast can't be a bad thing haha.

Sounds like a good bet. Already starting to feel hungry.
