C-7 Package vs Evolution

Have my c230 on order but i got a question:

The foreign versions of the c-7 package/evolution i hear come with custom floor mats that say "evolution". Does the US c-7 package come with these floor mats?

And if not, why not!?

no they dont say that. its because it is called the C7 package in the U.S. not evolution and i think it would look pretty stuipid to see C7 on the mats.

i don't understand why either. but i got the mats anyway...

although, unlike blackc230coupe, i'd be ok w/ having C7 on the mats as long as they have the dead pedal flap.

It would be nice to have the shape of the Evolution mats, though.

Chile, Young ordered an Evolution set. If you want to get a set, PM him for how he got them.

He said that Kleemann and AMG have mats that have the same dead pedal-encompassing shape on them as the Evolution mats do, FYI.

Heyyyy.....

If the car was a Chevrolet, not only would C7 be on the mats, but it'd be a HUGE sticker on the side too!

umm, you know, Z 24, Z 28...nevermind

with regards to the c7 package, is the steering wheel any different from the standard? i heard it was slightly different. i think it had some sort of thumb notch or something. does any one have a pic of the c7 vs. the standard?
thanks

the kleemann mats have the flap... the kleemann's only come in black (anthracite).

as for the new AMGs, i've been told that the canadian catalog shows them w/ the flap, but i haven't seen them yet.

not sure about carlsson's, nor renntech's.

here's the sooper dooper mats link

as for the steering wheel, yes it is different - has those thumb rests... there's got to be a pic floating around somewhere...

ps please don't publicly ask me anymore questions about mats b/c i don't want to be the mats guy of mbworld

Not only that, but it would say "Fuel Injection" on the side of the car, "Power Disc Brakes" on the brake pedal, and "ABS" on the wheels, just to clarify any lingering doubts.

But Chevrolet is only up to C6! At least they didn't model after Pontiac and the 'flaming screaming chicken' on the hood!
