Didn't you swap your A1 for another A1 purely because of the newer reg plate?

You deffo like your newer plates

Nah I swapped a Sport model with a 1.4l to a Black edition S-line with a 2.0l.

Then my old TT was actually 6 months older than the A1 BE.

We should have a NC500 thread I feel, few of us done it now, might be a good sticky for others.

That'd be good, I looked at doing it (or at least some of it) myself some weeks ago during some time off but it was last-minute and the weather was predictably crap so I abandoned the idea. Maybe next year or if I can get some time off in the next month or two.

Picked up my new car last Monday and haven't stopped smiling since. It's a C300 Premium spec, only thing I wish I got was Command as the Garmin feels a little dated. Pleasure to drive, having automatic and cruise control is a god send! Excuse the poor phone pics, can do better ones later.

Looks lovely except for the iPad. What were Mercedes thinking...

Love it. I love new merc interiors. But then i am a fanboy of all (decent) Mercs really. I especially love that they have binned the shifter from everything finally.

Isn't it column shift like the previous E Class was?

Merc need to integrate that screen into the dash asap.

The previous e-class changed to an electronic column (stalk) shift in 2012 (was a normal mechanical centre shifter before that) but yeah its the same as that

First (merc) car to change to it was the W221 in 2006. The C-Class has only just caught up 10 years later

Not a good looking car IMO.

Looks like they forgot to design the back.

Interior looks good aside from the stupid pod screen.

Nicer interior than an A Class that's for sure, an entire phone-pad, that and the ipad idk how they thought it was a winner :/

The back end only looks good on dark coloured C class coupes. I personally think they've absolutely nailed this one and it looks fantastic.

Akagi · 27 Aug 2016 at 19:21

Well each to their own. I think the whole car looks unbalanced.

It's been called the batmobile a few times at work now ha, I love the rear end of it.

Just noticed the badge on the bonnet. What is the point in that when its already on the grill.

I think it looks great! Nice one!

mind me asking how much it cost?

The Mercedes website gives a clue

Every "sport" or AMG ever is like this...(models without a bonnet ornament)

C Class Coupes look great. Not a big fan of the screen placement, same style placement as Audi and BMW, why not just integrate them into the dash

e; Terrible quality...

Really need to dechrome and get my splitter but loads of things keep getting in the way

Great weekend for driving.

Bike may be changing to a blue one when it gets released in the next couple weeks!

Truck gets 23mpg (US) pulling that trailer
