In case anyone from Mercedes Benz ever reads this post - your seats suck! Sure, the person who posted this comment drives a car that is almost 10 years old, but I've sat in '80s vintage Saabs, Volvos, BMWs and even Japanese cars that have seats significantly more comfortable than those in Mercedes. I don't understand why this should be. Heat, adjustable lumbar support, supportive side leg bolstering, adjustable seat cusions, and extandable leg support (like that found in BMW seats) should be standard, no-questions-asked, equipment. Why does the world's leading auto manufaturer give us wet sponges to sit on????? MB puts so much engineering into the rest of the car, I don't understand why so little appears to go into seating comfort. If Toyota can put comfortable seats in a Camry, I'm sure Mercedes can afford good seats too.

And guys, don't tell me to rebuild the seats in my w123 - I did, and they still are a poor excuse for a seat.
