2003 changes

Has the side turn indicator made it to the front surface of the side mirror? Does your 2003 have the new multicontour drivers seat? If so, is it equipped with ventilation? Thanks,

i did get the ortho and it was not ventilated. but the leather feels softer than the 2002 g's. i don't know if that has anything to do with ortho seats.

the other differences that i found so far are:

leather wrapped parking brake handle
no turn signals above the v8 tags
turn signals are integrated into the side mirrors
steering wheel from the new e

btw - harmon karmon is incredible.

Question I'm taking delivery of an 03 without any options....

Would you consider the Harmon Kardon much better then the stock stereo?

Thanks

the harmon karmon is terrific. i can't say that i paid enough attention to 2002 g stereo to make a fair comparison.

i had a bose in my 2001 clk and this is far superior.

Can't wait any longer....

I've decided to take delivery on a 2003, black on black, with no options this week. Otherwise it seems I'll have to wait 4 to 6 months. I have an S-430, and am happy with the stereo. I plan on upgrading the G's stereo if I'm not happy with it. Though I've heard it can be complicated? Otherwise I can't wait to drive it!!
