A couple updates

I was looking on ebay, and I noticed a few cars on there with P2 etc the satellite radio antenna is now hidden, no bump on trunk! and the front headrests are now changed to the ones I like lol.

Mercedes-Benz never fails to disappoint me by making mid-model-year changes AFTER I've purchased my car. I suppose if headrests and the deletion of the satellite antenna are the only changes, I will get over it... Oh, they've also added the MB logo to the 12 o'clock position on the center clock, sigh...

These arent major changes. Companies do such things all the time. I dont see what the fuss is.

Agreed, you could wait forever and they will keep adding the options, but then they would change body style on you. Then when do you get a car?
I am probably only saying this because it did not happen to me

well its a better change than jaguar has been doing to us lately, i was looking at all the stuff they updated and after 05 they deleted the trim on the sides making the body too slab sided, then they made the vanden plas interior standard on all s-type, xj and i think most x-type models. most of the updates i am talking about are on the xj..and i know most of you guys hate jaguars but i like the xj just not the way it looks on the sides 06+ at least mb made a couple good changes

yes that is the latest antenna. It is slightly bigger than the ones of previous months builds but the antenna on the roof now combines sirius with all the other functions... so it is not "hidden". This was known about prior to launch, why it wasn't done? who knows.
