2008 C350
I haven't heard of one. That trim is a BIG reason why I went with the 350. I don't like the look of it at all.
Although some on here do like it. I guess it is just a matter of personal preference.

In Canada, swapping the alum trim with maple wood trim is a NC option for both C300 and C350, RWD and AWD.
Maybe we should ask: why Canada gets all these nice options (memory seats, keyless go, trim swaps, C350 AWD) that US can only envy?

Canada vs....
<<Why do you keep making these smug comments about Canada getting more options than we do?>>
My incoming C300 with Metallic, leather, P2 and Multimedia will cost $41635. What would the cost in Canada be?

He'll gladly bring up the USD exchange rate against the euro due to our oil wars no doubt.
I think it is clear that you can get more stuff in Canada for the W204 then here...I'd go buy one up there if I could. Problem is I live about 2000 miles from the closest Canadian MB dealership and prefer football to hockey, eh?

Canadian cars and their costs
<<I did a quick calculation, it says that it would be about $49,000 Canadian. That is equivalent back to about $47,000 USD.>>
Which is precisely why I posted the cost $41635 cost of my car and asked the question. So, when the Canucks yell over the border fence (nyah nyah nyah) that their version of the C is so much better, I would say "You paid for it." Ay?

My C class is going to round out at $50k or slightly above (USD) after taxes and everything...

Did you have some other options on your C300, because when I try to configure a US model with these options you have it comes to less than the price you posted?

C300 sticker price
<<Did you have some other options on your C300, because when I try to configure a US model with these options you have it comes to less than the price you posted?>>
Nope. Pretty standard.
C300W $31200
Barolo Red $710
Savannah/Cashmere leather $1550
P2 package $2750
Luxury sedan (phony charge) $260
Multimedia $2950
Auto trans $1440
Delivery $775
Total $41635
They list the Luxury charge, the auto trans charge and delivery separately so that the base price can be $31200 instead of the real base price of $33675. Very dishonest, in my opinion.
The final price will be somewhere around $45500 including tax and license.
Minus my trade-in, my $1K deposit and the $900 pro-rated refund of my unused MB extended warranty.

Aluminum to wood
<<Has anyone heard of a wood kit to cover/replace the aluminum trim pieces in the 300 sport?>>
All of the wood trim parts will be available as spare parts at a price. No question they will directly interchange if one knows how to remove the originals.
Sounds desirable but very pricey.

Assuming that conversion is true...I'm with you. Add TT&L to that and you might as well suck it up and go E Class for that.

I wouldn't get an e class now because they're changing body types soon, plus, with options that quickly gets to 60-65k.
You also have to remember, Canada has a higher minimum wage, higher paying jobs in general, and our dollar is sliding fast. There are several reasons.
