Multi contour seats not available for 2021 GLB?

Hey all. Just put in my order for a 2021 GLB and was bummed to learn that multi contour seats don’t appear to be available for the 2021. Does anyone know why or have any more information on why that change has been made?

If you are interested in the "Why" - Option 409 for GLB was limited to Black or Beige Non-Sport MBTex only - and as a result had a very/very low pickup rate on Customer Special Order - and slow sell thru on the limited # of Dealer Ordered Units that included 409.

There are maybe 15 2020 GLB's on the ground at Dealer's now that have 409/Multi-Contour - and about another 20 2020 VPC/On-The-Water/In-Production.

If you Have-To-Have - then have your dealer do the legwork - but over a single $600 option dropped for 2021 - it's probably not worth your time in $

I was told sept or October with fingers crossed. So I’ll be pleased if that happens, but won’t be surprised if it takes longer.

Are the features of the package (seat kinetics basically, right?) standard on the sport seats and/or leather? I have always assumed they were, given that those seats are technically “upgraded”, but never actually looked into it.

This place is a joke.
Because it's a cheaply built economy car.
