So how do you think a kids booster seat will go in that backseat?

Do the entire front seats flip up and forward when you access the backseat? Or just the standard way where the seat slides forward? I thought I remembered seeing a video from one of the car shows where the whole seat seem to lift up and forward for easier access.

A booster seat would fit fine, its not extremely tight but if you're around the 6ft mark or just below then it will be uncomfortable.

the seats don't lift up, only tilt then slide forward automatically.

So stealth... I opted for the titanium wheels this time around, just to make it pop out more. I'm loving the wider stance and those arches.

I think the first dealer demo arrives end of the month if I'm not mistaken. So keen to check it out!

Thanks for sharing RHRAUS

And this one just for fun. Not Selenite Grey, but just look at those rear fender flares!

That one's in matte irridium ^^^ nice pics of the selenite as always

I believe I'm second in the UK delivery queue behind 'kclman' but fingers crossed! 2 months to go now. The wait has felt so long, admittedly I'm not as excited as I was but still can't wait to finally get behind the wheel of this beast Might ask for another test drive of the saloon to alleviate the stress!

Yup, Brilliant Blue is my color with the Y spoke wheels. May go Titanium instead of black. The edge not being black kind of annoys me. I know I'm getting the Carbon Fiber Packages.

I think it looks better with the black rims (just my opinion though). You could get the rim flange blacked out if it bothers you.

I wonder if they'll do that at the factory. The black wheels do look better, but the flange not being black really annoys the heck out of me. That's the only reason I would go with the Titanium look.

Never hurts to ask but you'll probably have to get it done aftermarket

I know what you mean, not a big fan of the silver flange, detracts from the main colour of the rim, but not a dealbreaker by any means! Although I swear in Germany you can order an all black rim, no silver flange but not entirely sure...

We'll have to see if my dealership can fulfil their promise, it's been so long that until I'm sitting in it and hitting the ignition button I'm not going to believe it.

I really have had to forget about it for the moment as I was excited for an April delivery.

Fingers crossed for both of us.

We can only live and hope!

I feel you on that, I'll believe my dealership when I walk in and see the car for myself and I've also had to put it at the back of my mind for now.

Apparently we should be getting showroom demonstrators next month so something to look forward to if it's true.

I heard the same thing, apparently my dealership were trying to sneak my order in with the demonstrators but as i haven't heard anything I presume they didn't manage it.

At least by the time our cars are ready we'll have the weather to enjoy it.

We should have a meet to put the two selenite cars next to each other. I need to do the break in miles quickly as i plan on bringing it over to Germany and the Nurburg ring this summer.

Being a W204 sedan fan, I was disappointed in the less aggressive look on the W205 sedan. But this coupe absolutely took my breath away.

Seriously considering purchasing this in selenite grey when it arrives on my shore. I was looking at AMG GT - for some reason, I am battling between the two at this stage. What an odd crossroad to arrive at.

Bro U should get it!

I'm pretty sure we can delete them ourselves. I originally thought they were housings for the LEDs that shine on the license plate but after checking out a GT S that turns out not to be the case. I just hope the surface beneath them is painted.

It would be great if we can delete them ourselves.

Ah that's a shame, would've been great if they'd have pulled that off. True, the one silver lining is that it'll be summer, nice dry roads to play with!

That would be great to get a picture, get a 'selenite crew' meet up going

They've really done a great job with the 'brilliant blue'. It compliments the car and its curves/ lines perfectly.

Thanks for sharing!

This clip definitely reinforces the fact the magno with the yellow stripe just doesn't work on this car for me.

I think it looked somewhat better when siting on display in the car shows, but out on the road it just looks wrong IMO.

It's truly horrendous. And for the price of the car I don't think they will sell many at all since the look is geared to the average Honda fan.

There is a beatiful magno silver with black stripe that is much beyter floating around car shows but for some bizarre reason mb usa will only sell the ed1 here in that aweful combo

I've said it before too many times and I'll say it again. The Edition 1 Motorsport Package is a crime against humanity and should be stopped at all costs...

+1 They should've kept the same options as the sedan...

This yellow makes the car look cheap IMO
