Mercedes of fort lauderdale got a c55 in today. It's black. The seats are suede. It's ok, it looks like a baby e55. I would still take my c32 over it, I like the way the c55 seats feel a lot more then my c32 though, it's more comfortable like a racing seat. That cool little cup holder we have on our c32's the c55 doesn't have as well. The trim kind of looks cheap. the dash looks good. It's a nice car, and the tag on it was 54,500 or something... I wouldn't sell my c32 to get it, it's just too similar of a car body wise, plus I'd bet my life my c32 is faster.

Is blue tinted glass standard on C55? Or must you get the premium pkg?

I think the first few should go to enthusiasts such as us who have the inside loop on cars like this.

Having the online build thing not avaliable for a little while works in our favor.
