Definitely agree that combo is very fun to drive. I would imagine that plus the latest version of Magic Body control (may be coming in 2016 for the W21x) and Active Curve Tilting (same possibility), the car would drive like a slot car with magnetic track traction LOL!. ABC makes railroad tracks seem like those traffic strips they lay in the road, when you run over them. Only issue for me with ACT is that it is only available on RWD models sofar.

I am gonna look for a car that has most if not all of these features

• ESP Dynamic Cornering Assist
• Traffic Sign Assist with Speed Limit Assist and wrong-way driving warning function (I think they are about to release a version for the US - hell my 2014 Jeep already has their version of this feature and it is quite useful for me, reminds the heck out of you once you are over the speed limit by 5 mph)
• COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST
• ATTENTION ASSIST
• ADAPTIVE BRAKE
• DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist
• Brake Assist system BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist
• NECK-PRO crash-responsive head restraints
• PRE-SAFE,
• PRE-SAFE Brake,
• PRE-SAFE PLUS,
• PRE-SAFE Impulse,
• Pre-Safe with pedestrian detection and City Brake function
• Beltbags
• Active bonnet
• Active Lane Keeping Assist
• Full-LED headlamps with Intelligent Light System and Adaptive Highbeam Assist PLUS
• Night View Assist PLUS (pedestrian/animal detection) with flashing Spotlight Function
• Head-up display
• COMAND Online with Touchpad
• Active Parking Assist
• Active Blind Spot Assist
• Crosswind Assist

Hmm, I think I can probably find a used 2015 or loaner 2016 in about a year that will do it. Well in a used W217 or W222, then I can retrofit another Fridge! LOL!

Dunno, if anyone has seen these yet, but if not please enjoy




Long wheelbase W213 is visible in this video

Unfortunately I lease cars. Whatever I ordered and installed I have to revert back at return time. Certainly I feel jealous to all guys who can afford buying a car and then install a lot of different improvements. I am returning my current car in a month, if someone is interested in getting a nicely and uniquely equipped slightly used car, then let me know I and I will return it in your dealership. I also thinking to extend my lease, because getting 2016 model makes no sense considering that 2017 is around of a corner

I love the new interior but boy.. that exterior is the reason why to stick with my w212. I can't wait till next month to see all the trims once and for all!

OP here: just to report that I ended up buying a new 2015 Wagon and got 19% off MSRP, although there were offers out there for 22% off, but those cars had panoramic roof, self park and similar options I didn't want to pay for. I did get the dealer to throw in all season mats and trunk liner.

All in all, I could have probably gotten another percent or two, but this was reasonable too for a new car.

So can you retrofit a W213 interior into a W212?
I'm all for it. .
