The thing that concerns me a bit is the C250 that I have ad the feature in 2012 or 2013 but for the 2014 yr (mine) the feature is deleted. The GLK has it (2013) not sure about later models though. I don't know if it was deleted because of issue or popularity.

It was deleted in the US market because to this day the EPA refuses to recognize that start/stop systems save fuel in city driving. The way the city cycle is designed on the fuel economy test, you don't see a diff in the final mpg number printed on the window sticker, even tho it saves fuel in the real world.
