Decison time
Trying to decide whether to buy today or order one that doesn't have a couple of extra options I don't really need. Would appreciate feedback from anyone who has mbrace or lane tracking and whether you see them as a plus. The other optional option is rear air bags. This will be a 99.9% one person, .09% two person and .01% backseat passenger vehicle.
The basics are diamond white metallic, almond mocha standard leather, burl walnut trim, premium 2 (this one has launch version), wood trim package, apprearance package, rear spoiler. Was originally looking at tan top, but am starting to lean toward black. How hard is the tan to keep clean looking? a few pics....

Laramr,
Mbrace i would order for sure bc for resale value and rear airbags for safety.
If we are going to spend that kind of money on a E 550 cab anyway mine as well equipped the car with all the goodies.
I am thinking about getting black with almond/black combo interior with ash wood. Have you considered premium leather?

Very nice is that diamond white or reg white looks good with the black top. I personally would have got the almond/black interior the two tone interior bacause of the carpet being black the alomnd carpet gets dirty to easy. Lets us know how good it runs have'nt had time to test drive one yet.
Thanks

tgrille: Diamond white. Went light on the interior for a bit of change. This is replacing a triple black C5 Vette we sold last year. May be a little harder to keep clean but she won't be an everyday driver so it should be easy to stay on top of. Will report back on the driving experience after a couple of weeks but so far I'm very please with ride, handling and acceleration. It's also amazingly quiet inside the cabin.
1MB: Thanks. Looking forward to a lot of fun cruises.
