Thumbs down

Yep, saw the same in the UK. Will see what happens next year, but at present, virtually made my mind up. Not purchasing at that price, without being able to customize how I want it, not to mention, do I really want to be reminded each time I step into the car that I have a great big iPad in front of me. Like others, starting to look at an M8 but for now, will change my tires.

My dealer told me yesterday that the whole leather problem and why they had to change orders and limit the colors was due to two things: The stitching came from the Ukraine and the leather was sourced in Russia! Hence the change and scramble to get other vendors.

Yep, that's why a majority of SL's right now have the regular Napa Leather. S-Class' were hit worse, some 580's were built with regular leather despite Napa being a standard feature. Audi was hit even worse though, they get wiring harnesses from Ukraine.

That makes sense. You have a good source there! Thanks
