Yes, my parents' base base base 1996 C220 has no dummy buttons.
I don't like dummy buttons either, but it's not just Mercedes - Audi does it too (just to name one).
Here's an A8 with dummy buttons (on the left):

I cannot find it on the BYO, or options and packages pages, is it perhaps listed somewhere else? It would be quite nice if parktronic was coming to the US for 2009.

i like to ride my bike
dummy buttons and metal,wood etc. instead. that is due to the new designs
of the dashboards and buttons. these days the buttons are enclosed on
one shape and it would look weird if there would be wood instead of plastic!!

Buttons buttons who's got......
Like Flame told:
Left knob is for the Dynamic handling Package, if you push it it will reacts more on the gas pedal, the suspension will be more sportive. This is also a blacked out button by the most of the EU drivers. This option cost 1500 euro's.
Than you got the button for the sunroof
Than we have the Parctronic button, to deactivate it.
So this one is US-less in the US.
And the right button is not named anywhere in the brochure...
If we order the Standard model here in the Netherlands, you don't have the buttons. Like CJH's car.
