2005 C230K Sedan Interior Pics --- C Spot

Sorry for the large pics and the so-so quality. I took these at C-Spot event in NJ yesterday. The revised C looks great. The small revisions make a big difference. Aside from the obvious changes, driver seat has manual lumbar support, plus that's a dual pop-up cupholder in the center. Sorry, no exterior pics, but the car had an AMG-like front bumper, plus the turn signals on the mirror look slightly different.

I was there too today, had a blast, especially during the AMG thing where we drove with a trained driver, he was basically talking to me while launching to 80 mph, still holding the conversation, and I see the turn coming up and I say to myself, no way can he make this without slamming his brakes, well he mentions how great the suspension is, and quickly turns it, the wheels did not screech at all, i was very impressed, the only thing that irked me, was the breakfast burrito i had, what were they thinking???

This is definitely a step in the right direction for MB; the center console looks a lot more refined. However, the steering wheel buttons look stupid.

Vik, did you realize that your entire post is one "sentence"? =)

For those who can't see the images, just copy their url into another browser window and you should be able to see them if you refresh.

whatup and Viktorious: greetings and thanks from a new member considering a 2005. I have a few questions.

In Europe, it appears that Sport models have a short-throw shifter. Did you have a chance to try a manual? If so, opinions?

Did you have a chance to drive the C230k? If so, what are the changes in ride quality/steering precision/etc?

What did you think of the quality of the new interior plastics?

Is the driver's seat more comfortable than the old one?

Thanks in advance!
