Website/BYO Updated For 2011

At a quick glance:

Diamond White Paint ($1,515) - love it, but can't see it being worth that price.

The BYO Interior picture is messed up at the moment and is showing two different wood trims, a light and a dark. Maybe a choice in the future?

The Sport Package finally looks worth the money ($1,350) (picture above) Think about that one for a second, you get front row blue tinted glass and 20' AMG wheels for less than the cost of the Diamond White Paint.

Blind Spot Assist ($600 Must have P1 or P2)

Saddly they decided to include the Harmon/Kardon system only in the P2 package. ($6,050) The only other option in the P2 package is Keyless Go, I don't see the Harmon system and Keyless Go being worth $2,050.

L.E.D. daytime running lights are part of the Lighting Package ($985). Its a bit disappointing they aren't standard, or part of the Sport package. C class Sport sedans get them as standard equipment for 2011!

Barolo Red has been dropped from the exterior paint options.

Appears Burl Walnut Trim will be the only wood trim option, replacing Birdseye Maple.
