That is not so ex.... if it comes with the 7 Speed gearbox, it would be worth to pay the extra compared to the pre FL model. Interesting to see the full specs against the price.

Any bros has the details to update ?

if 1.6L is kompressor then is not worth it. But for non conti driver owner to change over & hp is not a concern then is a gd deal.

I m so excited now, can't wait to see the C coupe. shld I get it from PI or C&C?

$205K?? That's it, sticking to my SUV liao. C&C easily asking for $230K with these kind of specs. But this kind of pricing will kill the E coupe in the market. Hmmm yr PI didn't pull a fast one on you??

Not my PI la...It was in the ST Classified(M***dian Auto) yesterday, so itchy backside, gave them a call to check out. If this is the PI pricing, I think AD's in AMG kit will be at less $250K up...not $230K.

I am not surprise that they kept the C180K 1.6 for entry level to complete against the A4 and 318i. With the Cat A COE and lower OMV, the price for the C180K is very competititve.

If they bring in the C180 CGI and C200 CGI, ultimately, they will discountinue the C180 CGI as the price is too close to the C200 CGI and potential buyers will likely pay they few thouands more to get the C200 CGI.

Situation will the same as the current model when they discontinue the C180 CGI and brought back the C180K 1.6 Kompressor.

I am more interested to see what is the transmission that they are bringing in. Heard rumour that they will bring in the 7 Speed Gearbox ...

You're right Unker...That's the current price list for the 'current' C-Class Saloon, which are already SOLD OUT.

The price list I quoted was from a C&C SE. It is for the New Generation C-Class Saloon!

It is a Pre-order price, need to down $18,888 to secure the limited units for the 1st Batch.

Yes, I think all the new gen shld come in 7 speed...:rockon:

[Guest kepiting1sg]

Yap! Not surprised the current C are sold out so

the new ones will come in.

Wanna wait for lelong of old models. Hard!

They also have their sales plan for phasing in & out of models.

That's what I said earlier that CnC will "maintain" their old car prices for new models with new features! Except in this case if prices are correct, they upped the C180K 1.6L by a few '000$.

Heard the FL C180K they bring in is the old 5 Speed Gearbox..

Most likely 7 Speed will be only available for C180 CGI and C200 CGI onwards.
