    Totally agree with Todd - the gimmicks draw in the buyer, and the little annoyances make them want to next level up.

    In your conversation with the car, Paul says "At least its entertaining". I think he meant to say "Isn't that aggravating?". MB is going the Alexa route. Great video.

    Did I miss a discussion on whether the transmission shifts well on acceleration and quick deceleration as well as in stop and go driving?
    Also overall ride quality at high speed? Road feel? Smoothness?

    Hi, from Japan!! I don’t need Ms. Mercedes talking. Instead of loosing Ms. Mercedes, I hope the price goes down. She is a nice and pretty lady, though. By the way, I have heard some air freighters will arrive at Nagoya Japan in few hours for bringing F1 cars and related equipments for Japan Grand Prix.

    Having an engine that'll take twice the power reliably is a very good thing; e.g., Nissan Xterras use the same long block as their twin turbo super cars.

    There is no coupe version of this C-300, there is now only a CLE, which is a whole other car altogether, unlike previous versions where it was the same car with two doors chopped off. I personally have a 2019 C300 sedan and prefer its looks over the looks of the new one any day. It's like they gave it sedatives and made it plain.

      Make it quiet for that kind of money period. Also , in other Mercedes vehicles that are quieter , what’s the logic there regarding noise built in for safety? In fact, a complaint or concern lately but local fire departments and emergency services, is that cars have gotten to insulated and people are often not hearing these sirens until it’s almost too late. Just food for thought, 0 malice here

    The stupid domestic automakers Chevy, Ford, Dodge / Chrysler have no clue building performance cars. 6.4 lt, 5 lt, 6.2 lt and yet not much faster than this C300. Now with workers on strike, let them go bankrupt and do not bail tem out again this time. By the way, I agree with SCOTTY KILMER' for those who watch his channel, 671 hp out of cylinder means a hell of a stress and only time will tell how long this engine lasts.
