Congrats! Not much changed tho, except the mirrors!

When I was buying mine the salesman told me that they had a lot of complaints for the previous huge mirrors (we say Actros headlight mirrors ) and therefore here are the new ones! It's a good thing that mercedes listens to customers.

So the skinny steering wheel on the '08 and '09's is still there? No change?

Yap, the C class AMG package three spoke wheel is still skinny. They changed it on E coupe with AMG package, i think it's the same there as on C63.

"Steering wheel now covered in Nappa Leather"

That's just a leather change, we're talking about the thickness!

The steering wheel in the W212 and C207 with AMG sports package are really awesome, its so da_n nice to grab, thick and soft feel, and loving the alu trim on the lower part of the airbag.

Yeah, I know, but I figured the nappa leather might help that.

Yeah me too. I was actually hoping that they would have realised that this wheel is too big and too skinny and that they would have looked at BMW and Audi and then added the E-Class Coupe steering wheel for 2010. : (

hey guys, sorry for the delay, here are the new pictures, sorry i didn't have time to rename them, but included are the pictures of the key and some interior as well as the black side markers I debaged it today but haven taken pictures yet. also i've searched the forums, can anyone post a link on how to upload blackberry contacts via bluetooth, i've looked through the comand manual as well as some searches on here but cannot figure it out! i have the blackberry tour btw. also i'm probably going to sell my brand new mid city engineering video in motion, so pm if you are interested, i've decided it's too much of a hazard and do not want to install it. enjoy the pics and let me know if you want any more pictures posted!

the 2008-2009 steering wheel is also leather...the difference that may be here is whether its nappa leather or regular leather. it looks the same to me though

The 2010 lux model I sat in yesterday had the new nappa wheel, leather felt a lot softer and smoother, its easy to spot as the nappa leather steering wheel is a lighter grayish color and the "old" one is black and has a rougher texture.

The W212/C207 sport steering wheel will fit the 204 , I checked the price when I first layed eyes on it and my dreams about a nicer steering wheel in the 204 was instantly shattered
The wheel alone cost $1900 then add another $1000 for the airbag ..

Really? I didn't actually know that...

Any particular reason?

As promised, link for the steering wheel. I also synced my Blackberry Tour correctly. I'm also going to be putting my Video In Motion from MidCityEngineering in the classifieds if anyone is interested. Thanks for the comments, I love this car!!
