Congratulations! I really like the styling of the current generation of MBs. The C-class has improved nicely in terms of luxury  :thumbup: Looking forward to pictures in Show'n'Shine!

Very nice, congratulations! I probably would've gone for the C300 if I didn't test drive the C43 first (ooops).  :rofl2:

 Can you do a show and shine of your C43? It's on the short list for me and I'd like to know how you like it.

I second that...spent too much time on the MB price and build site yesterday...
I love it when a plan comes together.

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Congrats on the new ride!  5 or 6 years ago the BMW 3 series was the "Oakville Taxi" - it seemed to be THE default car of choice and they were bloody well everywhere.  Since then the C class has blown the 3 series right off its perch, so they must be doing something right.  Oddly, it seems that the overwhelming majority of local owners choose white - which I don't think is nearly the most flattering shade for this vehicle.  Black looks sweet.  And they have an awesome beep metallic brown that looks like a million bucks.  Happy motoring.
Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

:iagree:
There's one of those metallic brown 300's in the hood as well. Looks distinctive.

Nice choice - congrats on the new Benz!
I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...

Yep, will do one soon! Loving it so far, have had it for about a month. One word of advice, do not buy it without the AMG performance exhaust! The sound is addictive lol.
