Kind of interesting that 6-speed would be the most fun factor for the C32 but they left it out.

The '03 C-Class brochure was finalized and printed just before last minute changes were made. It's technically incorrect. When ordering the Xenon Lights/Heated Washer option it will be called the S2: Value Added Package, Code 172, not the C4. ...RAB

And if so, and they're the same size as the '02 version, would it be possible to obtain an OEM kit???

Bizarre -- maybe because it's one of the most popular colors? Is this true for both coupe and sedans?

Desert Silver hasn't changed. The one added is Pewter Metallic which I
believe is also called cubanita in some countries.

Change in cloth upholstery

Did anyone see any pictures of the 03' brochure.

Was there a change in the C230 Kompressor Coupe interior upholstery?

I'm sure glad Xenons are going to be available!!

Re: Change in cloth upholstery

If you're asking about the cloth interior, no it does not appear to be any different in the pattern design. ...RAB

All of the above
'03 Coupe colors

Desert is still a standard color. Capri blue is now standard.
Pewter is standard (with charcoal cloth or leather). Citron green and obsidian black are special order. (according to the new brochure)

Also "brown poplar wood" and "Charcoal Cinnamora wood"
(don't ask me where you find a Cinnamora tree) are options vs. the aluminum interior trim.
