The only thing i don't like on my w211

is where you open the door and it has the steel entrance panels that say mercedes benz. right after that it starts the fabric which gets dirty very, very, very easy, especially when you have stone interior. you guys will see when you pick up delivery. but other then that i love everything about the car.

i see your point..

but on the other hand...it really depends on the color you choose. if you chose the light colors, they your car will turn our quite dirty in the end, but if you choose dark color, it hides the dirt better. but however it is, you've just got to keep clean

I have the Ash interior, and even it gets dirty very easily. He is talking about the fabric on the door seals on the outer frame of the door sill. (Not the seal on the door, but the one on the car when the door shuts) I have to agree that it is going to be very hard to keep clean.
