Agreed. I'm really trying to like the interior but it's hard. I hope it matched the exterior in looks...

Sure the C looks nice... But I think that AMG trim isn't gonna be cheap.

BTW, the Avantgarde trim and AMG trim are two separate things, right? So the white C we see in this test has both?

As far as I know its free of charge for avantgarde and its just the looks being changed, not to a sportier suspension. Correct me if Im wrong.

The Benz steering wheel looks like it came out of a Ford Transit or something, it is way too skinny!! Imho, I think MB has been coming out with the ugliest steering wheels lately.

However, that C class looks amazing in white. Finally warming up to the big star on the grill. Good job MB.

The AMG Package is a chargeable extra which may be ordered in addition to the Avantgarde Line.

However, in the UK we will have the " Sport Line " instead of the Avantgarde.
This is a combination of the Avantgarde and AMG Sports Package.

Thanks WyoM3,

I was feeling too lazy to list the whole spec. - Sports exhaust note for petrol engines only.
