Front end is a bit busy to me but the interior looks very promising but I agree, we probably won't see those nicely bolstered seats here in the US.

how are current AMG autos anyways, do they do any revmatching now or are they just your typical slush boxes?

I don't know why anyone thinks we won't be getting the seats, they meet the new FMVSS requirements.

The US always gets shafted on the more skinny nicely bolstered seats, I think it has something to do with being the most overweight nation in the world.

I think it has to do with not meeting our safety and design requirements.

The seats in this car and in the new 997 GT2 were clearly designed with US safety regs in mind, so maybe they're starting a trend to NOT give the US the shaft Re: proper seats anymore. It's about time.

BTW for anyone saying we wont get the seats, the CLK Black (63) has those seats and is sold here in the US, those are the US standard seats and not the buckets I just sat in them in a CLk Black, they are the perfect proportions even for a bigger guy !!!

The car looks great on the outside, bu having driven the new C, the interior is pretty weak from a quality standpoint, disappointing given that the car seems compelling otherwise.
