Thank you! I've had the opportunity to check one out in person and I think I do like this color! The only thing I'm not sure of when I saw it was the new style 18'' rims -- while they do look nice, they somehow look smaller than the previous style. Perhaps it was the Continentals that were on them that contributed to this impresssion also

Still confused on seat options. I was told mb Tex is standard and amg leather pkg is only option. Did you have to specifically order dynamica fabric (is this alcantra?). I am in USA btw..

May I see a picture of the back seats? Does it have fabric in middle also?

Thanks in advance..

Your dealer is right that there are just two seat packages. The Dynamica seats are standard. Dynamica is the fabric in the center of the seats and back rest, while tex is the fake leather that lines the seats, which may be why your dealer referred to the standard option as "tex." But they're referring to the same package.

The back seats are the same. Dynamica in the seat and back rest, with tex on the rest. If you dislike the Dynamica/tex combo, you have to fork over $3k for the leather package.

It's unlikely you will find any Dynamica/tex seats in a dealer-ordered car. Most dealers spook at selling one of these without the leather package, which is a (roughly) $3k option.
