New interior option?
Well, I was at my local dealership today and checked out a new Barolo red Ml 63 with black interior. The red wasn't my thing but I have changed my order from Pewter to Obsidian Black. I was struck by how hunkered down and mean the thing looked. 
Huge rotors! The burl walnut does not dominate. There is still a lot of silver trim.
I finished up the paper work on my order and discovered a new option! Though not listed on the Mercedes website nor in the options list posted in an earlier thread by Whoopsy, apparently rear seat airbags are an option for $450 Canadian. I don't know if this is a simple oversight or a gouge. I believe these are curtain like side bags for the back seat. The dealer said they were kid friendly. Is this true?
I will be calling MB Canada on Monday for an explanation.

Confirmed with MB Canada this a.m. that rear side curtain airbags are indeed an option. They said that they don't list them as an option on the website because they are not popular. Hmmm...
