Mom's new ride.
So who in the family is next in line for this beautiful beast?
There will likely be some sort of bidding war (or ultimate rock-paper-scissors showdown) between my 3 brothers and I.
Can I pay one of you to be a proxy for me?
Also, did you mention once that the car is ordered as a 2+2? Was that a custom order?
They ordered it with the performance seats. Dad thought he read, after the fact, that option also meant the rear seats would be reduced to 2 buckets that don't fold down, like in the AMG GT4. That would have been a problem since they often need to haul bulky items (including 4 dogs) to the cottage. Luckily he was misinformed and the car only came with a pair of performance seats and a full, folding back seats.
Got it. Thanks. What an awesome car.
Incidentally, I was visiting our local MB dealer and was quite smitten with the E-class. They had a "standard" E400 in the showroom that my wife and I sat it. Wow, what a luxurious, comfortable interior. So of course I've been playing on the MB site building E400s and E43s...and then this shows up
