Overall, I wish I had the little LED lights underneath my side mirrors for night time security/locator illumination like the new '09s... the power steering column/seat memory would have been nice as well. Also, from the look of it - you can get wood trim inside a sport model now, that would have been nice as well as I may have considered a sport if I could have kept my wood trim...

C'est la vie.

Enjoy the '09s folks!

I think the wood trim is available only in the 350 Sport and 300 Lux still...could be wrong on that one though.

I agree with you on the trim, that wood trim was a major factor in me going with the 350.

Use the build your own page, Burl Walnut is now available on C300 Sport models for $310 bucks. There are also a Almond/Mocha colored interior combo.

Interesting that some of the other new higher models such as the R class got HD radios for 09 and the C class didnt.

I wonder what the wood would cost to buy alone. Too bad the almond/mocha doesnt leave the black in place like the Saks Ed.

What the hell is HD radio? What is that, better reception?

HD radio allows you to listen to specific statins that arent available to a regular radio. it picks up a very crisp and clear sound.

This HD business is getting out of hand. did you know theres **** in HD now? geezus

HD radio is better sound quality than Sirius radio...but for free. The draw backs are you don't keep the same station no matter where you go like Sirius its all local stations, but I find that to not be a factor. Some might argue that its just a normal local station full of commercials, yet I find Sirius to have quite a few commercials of its own for other stations on the network and contests. Best part HD radio is free...oh I said that lol. Hyundai is putting XM radio as standard equipment on their top of the line car now, its done as a life time subscription, won't be long before the rest follow, but don't hold your breathe for MB..took them years to finally realize CD players were here to stay and that they should include them as standard on their cars ha ha.

Uhhh, How would you know that? LOL. HD also lets you "tag" songs. Pretty cool, you can save them to your Ipod somehow so you can purchase them later....
