Obsidian Black and Seat questions/size.

Was hoping somebody could post a pic if they have this coloured car? I have searched and can only find the regular non Metallic Black exterior colour. I was planning on ordering it, but wanted to see what it looked like, the dealer doesnt have this colour on the lot to look at first. Thanks for any help.

Many thanks for those pics. Great looking car. Was wondering about another quick question, how tight are the seats in the front? Im 6'5 and big, ive sat in regular C classes but not the 63. How is the headroom and side room? I use to drive an Audi TT and had lots of room in that for comparison.

The seats are pretty tight but there is an adjustment on the side
of the seats to make the side bolsters wider.

Headroom should be similar to a regular C.

where is it the tightest? In the waist? Or in the upper shoulders? Do the seats "break in" after awhile?

I am worried its like my buddies old Porsche 968, his seats were to small and I couldnt fit in them.

I wouldn't say nice and loose but you can get them wide.

I'm only 5'9 and 165lbs and I can get them pretty loose for
my size.

I like them tight, feels more stable to me, no sliding in the seat.

I'm 6'3" 220lbs w/ 36" waist and broad shoulders.

The seats fit well everywhere but my upper back, right behind my lats. Even with the side bolsters "opened" as far as they can go it is a bit uncomfortable. It is not terrible, but it is noticeable.

do you have much mileage on your car? Do the seats "improve" with time? Or remain about the same?

Only 1300 miles. I don't see them improving much over time.

It is not unbearable, I just wish I fit better.

Agreed. I'm 5'10", 205#, 36" waist with broad shoulders and you notice the bolsters. I feel them right on my rib cage and under my arms.

I'd suggest that you try the C63 seats. They might be pretty tight for you. I'm 6ft and 200 lbs and while not uncomfortable for me I wish there was a bit more adjustment on the seat bolsters.
