2010 updates

So i found somewhere on the net the 2010 will have the following: (not sure how accurate this is but these are some of the differences i found)

1- power folding and auto tilt down mirrors (appears standard)
2- TPMS appears standard (I assume this is for individual tires)
3- i thought the hard drive supported 4g of music space this site quoted 6g now
4- optional rear view camera
5- optional push button start
6- LED tail lights

i guess my question is two fold. Can anyone "in the know" confirm this?
and i wonder if the LED tails would be something 08 and 09 owners could update? kindof like the guys did on there E46 M3 when the LED change came about.

i apologize if this is a repost but i didnt see anyone really mentioning these...

THANKS!

For the US spec 2010 C63 AMG there will be 3 new options available:

1. Keyless Go
2. Rear view back up camera
3. 19" Multi-spoke wheels

I got this information from both the dealer and the AMG Private Lounge

I can't confirm the other updates, but the return of folding mirrors and new LED tail lights will be nice. I've read that Mercedes-Benz started to exclude folding mirrors (in US models) to cut costs. Great news if they're bringing this feature back since it really should be standard.

Strange, the only option I don't have now is #4. I have the premium package/Canadian model 2009.

Evolve is fine if the technology that they were putting into the 2010s were fairly new stuff. I had back up camera and keyless go for my previous two cars (IS 350, S5) and its a little agitating to not have it on the most expensive car that I have owned. Not only that, its a fairly common technology that are very basic comfort features and to put that into 2010s is sort of a slap on the back of the head. If the C63 were never going to have those options I'd be fine, but for MB to put a old technology into later models is what gets to me.

But with all that said, I told myself I'm giving up comfort to drive the beast in the C63 so I'll be happy my C63.

Why get angry over the inevitable? It's a business.

MB has to update the car to keep it fresh and bring in new buyers who may have been on the fence. If it makes previous owners want to trade up, then they make money from those (suckas!) too.

Meh, no big deal to me. If it had a lot more power, two piece rotors, or adjustable suspension, then i'd be pissed.

This is the information I came looking for. A sales lady said the 2010 would have keyless go, wanted to confirm it. Yea!
