2013 SL Options
It looks like one can finally see the options available on the '13 SL on the MBUSA site.

So far, it all looks really good! I didn't see any mention of the heated steering wheel,like I have in my 2004 SL. I hope it's still there. Maybe it's a standard feature now? Thanks for the post. I've already built my new SL!

This is just so stupid - why are they promoting the Air Scarf "to extend your top down season" in conjunction with the heated seats....but then removing the heated steering wheel? A complete lack of thought and hopefully an oversight that will be resolved.
We called MB Corporate - they said they were taking customer issues and sending them back to Germany for future model modifications.

No, I've had a heated steering wheel for 8 years, it is useful when the top is down OR up. Where I live we don't get the feet of snow that other parts of the US receives, but we do get below freezing regularly each winter. The heated steering wheel is a huge convenience and given that the technology is there to put it in the car - and has been - it is short sighted to take it out.
Those who don't want it, such as yourself, just don't need to include it when you order your car.

Audi Q7, ML350
I was informed today that the Illuminated MB Door Sills are not an available option for this model, but it's selectable on the option list. Does anyone know anything about this or possibly have it installed?
