the mercedes benz c class wagon is coming to north america

* But not the U.S. — at least, not yet.

Add the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Wagon to the list of vehicles available in Canada and not the United States. Mercedes-Benz Canada announced Thursday it would begin selling the long-roof version of the C-Class this year. To add insult to injury, it will be a diesel with all-wheel drive — and that’s it.

Mercedes did not disclose what shades of brown will be available.

The previous-generation C-Class wagon was not available in Canada or the United States.

When the C-Class Wagon goes on sale later this year, it will be powered by a 2.1-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine producing 200 horsepower and 369 lbs-ft of torque sending power to all four wheels through the automaker’s 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. While not detailed, the C-Class Wagon will likely receive the same seven-speed automatic as the E 250 BlueTec.

MSRP and exact on-sale date were not disclosed.

So, who’s going to be visiting The Great White North this year?

Those E-wagons, and I assume all E-class are pretty discounted with the all new replacement on the horizon. I'm going to have to replace my 2000 E-wagon some day and was kicking around a local dealer. The salesman started at 8k under sticker, even though I told him I'm not in the market. Lightly optioned, you can probably get near $50k. It ain't cheap, but a lot of car for the money. The AMG version is still 6 figures though.

28-Cars-Later I'm getting a Knight Rider vibe... or is it more Knightboat?
28-Cars-Later "the person would likely be involved in taking the Corvette to the next level with full electrification."Chevrolet sold 37,224 C8s in 2023 starting at $65,895 in North America (no word on other regions) while Porsche sold 40,629 Taycans worldwide starting at $99,400. I imagine per unit Porsche/VAG profit at $100K+ but was far as R&D payback and other sunk costs I cannot say. I remember reading the new C8 platform was designed for hybrids (or something to that effect) so I expect Chevrolet to experiment with different model types but I don't expect Corvette to become the Taycan. If that is the expectation, I think it will ride off into the sunset because GM is that incompetent/impotent. Additional: In ten years outside of wrecks I expect a majority of C8s to still be running and economically roadworthy, I do not expect that of Taycans.

ChristianWimmer My girlfriend has a BMW i3S. She has no garage. Her car parks on the street in front of her apartment throughout the year. The closest charging station in her neighborhood is about 1 kilometer away. She has no EV-charging at work.When her charge is low and she’s on the way home, she will visit that closest 1 km away charger (which can charge two cars) , park her car there (if it’s not occupied) and then she has two hours time to charge her car before she is by law required to move. After hooking up her car to the charger, she has to walk that 1 km home and go back in 2 hours. It’s not practical for sure and she does find it annoying.Her daily trip to work is about 8 km. The 225 km range of her BMW i3S will last her for a week or two and that’s fine for her. I would never be able to handle this “stress”. I prefer pulling up to a gas station, spend barely 2 minutes filling up my small 53 liter fuel tank, pay for the gas and then manage almost 720 km range in my 25-35% thermal efficient internal combustion engine vehicle.
