It looks great to me...I just don't know why we cannot add the Night Package on the German site.

Honestly I am still torn. Now I am leaning Palladium and thinking about doing one of the whites. Any advice on Polar vs Diamond? What is the pic below?

Interesting Pic! That was taken at the same location where my Expert Training was in Palm Springs! No one was suppose to take pictures; whoops! HAHA

I saw the car in all the colors. I usually love white cars; but white did not do it for me on this car. That is just my opinion. Plus I feel that a lot of people will have it in white. In any color, the car is badass!!

I would agree with that statement. However, I do not know what type of editing that photo received. I just know what white, either choice, will be popular on this car. That is why I wanted something different. Palladium to me has a touch of brown in the paint; not for me. I'm happy just to be getting one.

JPMBENZ,

When are you getting your car? I need to see configurator before I submit order. Looks like leather should be a no-brainer based on bleeding seats issue on c205 forum.

My car should arrive in Mid-April. On the "S" models leather is standard. The MB-Tex/DINAMICA on the non "S" is a customer preference. Also, the MB-Tex issue on the C300/400 is already being fixed. It was a very limited run of cars that had the issue.

Go to the UK site and use their configurator. That is what I did. Still didn't help as the car looked good in all colors haha.

Design White Diamond
After all the back and forth between Palladium and Iridium I think I will end up with Designo Diamond haha. Went and looked at all in person and feel good about diamond white. May add Night package because it will look great with white.

Might drop Performance seats as my CA estimates them at $2500 and I won't track often so not really worth it.

If you are using it as a DD; then I would not get the Performance Seats.

are the performance seats exactly the same ones in the CLA45 or variation of them ? I sat in a CLA45 last year and thought they were hard so not sure about long road trip in them.

I have to agree with you on that. I tried them on a CLA45 and thought they were very snug and comfortable. And they look fantastic.

Yes, they are exactly the same from a fitment point.
