Anything removed from 05 C Class ?

There is a long list of items being removed from the 05 E Class to reduce cost. Not a happy situation. Does anyone know if there is a list of things being removed from the C Class?

Babysmart was removed for the Coupes (US edition), at least according to the brochure that I have.

I noticed that the air fan for the rear passengers on the C320 is gone. My 01 C320 didn't have the fan and here in Arizona cooling was marginal for the rear passengers. My 02 C320 had a fan that took up almost all the space in the compartment but it made a major difference for the rear seat passengers.

We have the MB seat, but just because that was our only choice when we still had our SLK. We don't use it in our ML or C-Coupe. A child is much safer in the rear seat, and probably less of a distraction for the driver too. But good or bad, it shows the trend for MB to reduce features to try and keep the price more or less the same for new model years.

Well the only thing, I can say that is gone compared to 01 vs 05 is the passenger controls in comfort package. In the old one even the passengers had the memory option but now that is only avaliable for C55 and C320. The front dash speaker on the 01 had an air vent, the 05 c230 does not have it any more, I dont remember what package it was part of.
