hold up here. i just went to the mbusa website, and the '05 c230 coupe now comes standard with mb-tex leather, no cloth option just the full leather option, and you can't get passenger side power seats!?! what the heck's up with that?

HITMAN

what is mb-tex? leatheret?

And the no power pasenger seat is odd

dswildfire

yeah, mb-tex is the fake leather.

HITMAN

so its real leather seating inserts with mb-tex on the rest?

I think they changed the seat style for 05

its called "cost cutting"

HITMAN

Its also called an option... so why no passenger power seat as an option then there is no cost cutting

Guest0001

Laziness on behalf of MB?

HITMAN

and to lazy to come up with another body for the 05 sport sedan

How many people actually ordered the dual power seat option? I believe that Canada had driver and passenger power seat as separate option. Could also be a marketing strategy to make it more attractive and hope more people will order it. I for one could care less about the passenger seat power option as I never sit there.

mine is an 03 and i have dual power seats. if the driver were power only, id still get the passenger seat power option.

HITMAN

you 2 are confused

The driver power seat is an option

And there is no option for the passenger


i thought the cloth was ugly before

MB-Tex is MB's version of "leather". It lasts much much longer than regular leather interior...they used MB-Tex on older models.

never had a car without leather, never will...
as for passenger power seat? I don't care like amdeutsch... I never sit there. I guess this currency exchane rate really is powerful... more than I thought it would be...
