Awful MBUSA web designers

The MBUSA web designers are terrible.

When you build your own C32 AMG on the MBUSA.com website, if you add Voice Control to your car under the accessories tab, the Motorola TIMEPORT Phone and Installation Kit is AUTOMATICALLY added to your car, even though it is no longer offered! So now if you want the V60 and Voice Control, the Timeport is also added to the summary page.

Another mistake on the part of the web designers, is that things no long cancel each other out like they did for MY 2002. If you buy the C4 Lighting Package, it comes with the Headlamp Washing System aswell as the Bi-Xenon headlamps. Well, by adding this package to your vehicle, the Headlamp Washing System option on the right hand side of the page should be automatically greyed out; just as it was in 2002.

I actually called up MBUSA and complained, let's see if they actually do anything about it.

I think BMW has MB beat as far as Marketing goes. Even though MB made one right move by having the new E-Class in Men In Black 2, BMW vehicles have been in James Bond films, and many other films.
