I couldn't agree more. Keyless go would of been nice and the seat memory is definitly necessary especially if you have multiple drivers. THey do however offer parktronic (called quick park) and is a dealer installed item. I'm having those put on in the next few days by the dealer.
 
I must say though.. .even without those items.. its a great car!

Quick park eh? That's what it's called also in Canada. Well thanks for the info...one down and two more to go (options). Now the C is 'near' luxury (smile). Maybe the C63 will provide. Thanks again.

Same for me - no memory seats means no sale. I'll wait until MB offers them.

I used to post on the boards as KandG and have written stuff in the LR3 forums, 300zx z32, and for the BMW E46 3 series,
   
Thanks,

Decontenting of new C by toybenz

Not only are memory seats lacking, but the power tilt/telescopic wheel as well. Also, the front seat headrests (I believe) are no longer power-adjustable. What I would miss most are the old "fold down" headrests in the rear seat...

I took the headrests out and put them in the trunk on my other car. When we have passenger(s) (once a month or less), we put them back in.
Someone suggested that and we noticed that the visibility has greately improved.

I understand your wait 'abqhudson', afterall you can wait a year or be unhappy for several years with options we wish you had waited for. Thanks for replying.

Nice to hear from you Greg. Can you please address the issues of my orginal post (re: cons) on the new C Class. Particularly why are those options not offered and when might they be? Thanks for replying.

Yes 'toybenz' that is so true. This is another cost saving design which so-calls cheapens the car. Now the headrests blocks your rearward visibility...I thought the new C was design around 'safety'. As for power front headrests, those would have been tied in with the power memory till/telescopic steering wheel package (hence: switches afixed to the doors).
