do you mean doesnt add?

its cause they usually first appear on th S class and then slowly trickle down to the lower models many years later. this is called the "trickle down" theory

I know I know my friend ! but it seems so stupid to me . it is for money theory also and they also will say baby C-class is middle class car . but I say again and again . it does not make me satisfy . if someone buy and use mercedes-benz they have right to want everything . I do not want them as standart they would be as optional .

It could come down to cost. How much more do you want to pay for the features, and what features can be separate modules versus which have to be "base" version?

It could raise the cost, USD, of a 45K car to over 90K. It might even be one reason the S is so much more expensive.

On the theory that every Mercedes IS a Mercedes, then yes, these should be available to us all. That theory also implies that for Mercedes drivers cost is no object.

beside these tech. my best is Distronic Plus (for example line warning system is not so useful for me. if I am off from line probably there is serious problem that never one car recover ! )

At least they have a pic of the C next to the S.

[ismeto]

maybe we have to be careful much until these will add (in true daily life nothing will warranty to LIFE even more tech. update remember GOD also )



you see in the links most examples are C class prototype

You'd think they could have another $5000 package on top of the top one now to get some of these gizmos. I'd like it to step up to someday because I don't really want a bigger car. I like this size car, but yet you can't get all the gizmos on it.

Oh well.
