Stock Stereo

I was looking into the C230K Sedan today and I was extreemly shocked that there was no stock CD player! Is this strange to anyone? Every single one I saw had the 6disc changer option installed, but I'm sure some people bought the car without the option and drove home realizing they had no CD Player! Why would they even make a car without one now a day? A single disc CD player is sooo much more convient, especially while driving. Who listens to tapes now a days anyways?

Surely you can't complain, you have cassette player and pre-recorded cassettes are more economical than CDs.

Burning your own CDs is actually now cheaper than recording your own tapes, and is farrr easier. And I don't even think stores carry new music on tapes anymore, do they? LoL

But anyways, I heard after the facelift this year the standard radio will now come with a CD Player, any confirmiation?

Judging by the pics we've seen, yes an in-dash CD player looks to finally be offered.
