Yeah I understand that too, but still it seems that every dealer in the U.S. got a Black/Black stripped model. Not a smart decision IMO. This is the most important model launch Mercedes will have until the new C-Class next year. The bigger dealers should have at least been able to get a full loaded model here and there with an interior color other than black.

The actual testing part should be over anyway. If they're still testing stuff at this late date I see nothing but problems ahead. These cars are what call demonstrators here in the U.S.
