    Two colours, and five different greys. How exciting!

    At least their B&O stereo is only $6k, not $14k like Audi's...

    If they have the balls to build and sell a $250k car, then charge $10k for paint, why, then can you not get black seats with a colored interior?

    @pauljones: I suspect that if you spoke nicely with the kind sales individual and started stacking the cash on the desk, they might be able to find a way to help you.

    At worst, you can order a second set of seats with the trim you lack, take it to an auto upholsterer, and they would run you up some custom seats. If you can afford the car, you can probably afford to have your own customizing done if you really want. And I bet you might have a spare car to drive while you're waiting for the work to be done.

    Mercedes is still a rookie in a game that Porsche has already mastered--this is nothing next to the $100,000 base-model Boxster you can build on Porsche's configurator (coordinating color vent trim rings?! Sign me up!).

    Looking closely at the rendering on the front cover, though, I have a question. Is that a PORTHOLE in the roof? I'd never noticed that particular styling detail before. Let's hope it's just part of the "2003 Thunderbird Dress-Up Package."

    @FormerlyPreferredCustomer:

    I know, I was bored once and got one up to over $110k. That's just obnoxious. You have to wonder what the take rate is on these options, as at some point, if there aren't enough takers, how does it make sense to continue to spend money offering them?

    BTW; does the cover graphic look to anyone else like an odd mash-up of Nissan GT-R and Chrysler Crossfire? I mean, what's with the porthole windows?

    NIne grand for carbon fiber door sill trim.

    Somebody ought to tap Mercedes Benz on the shoulder and mention that there's been this global economic downturn that makes stuff like this about as popular as the tempeh and edive salad at Hometown Buffet.

    Nice. Now if I could only schedule in the precious minutes needed to visit my friendly, local M-B dealer.

    But paint choice is disappointing. Nice colors, and five are grey or silver.

    For such expensive options, they sure spared expense on a decent graphic designer.. I guess this is just a draft.

    This was posted on Autoblog almost two weeks ago...but Autoblog still sucks.

    What blows me away about every lap I've watched is, the speeds are such so that, before the corner is in the camera's view, there's long, hard, braking.

    Tell you what, fast as these gearshifts are, I'll never want for another manual.

    It was so relaxed, I kept expecting to see a coffee mug retrieved and sipping to occur.

    Some say driving the Nurburgring Nordschleife is the same as having sex. I'm glad to see the Stig brought along another Stig to avoid accusation he plays with himself.
