Welcome to the world of luxury sedans. You can't have leather without the premium package either. Most dealers probably wouldn't pre-order a car without the Premium Package anyway. They know most MB buyers wouldn't buy a car without it and they don't want to buy a car that's going to sit on the lot. Most buyers in this market want things like dual zone climate control and a car without it is going to sit. Maybe they have to reset expectations based on the alleged "new type of buyer" walking into the showroom but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon...at least not in the US. I could be wrong but only time will tell.So it seems as if you select the multimedia package you will automatically get the premium package. This doesn't make any sense at all.
I wonder if this will affect my pre-order. I only selected the multimedia package within my pre-order as I felt no need for the premium package. This merely puts the price of the car right at $39,000. If that's the case I can spend $40,000 on another brand for a much better car!
MB screwed this selection process up!
Hmm I'm able to select them separately and in the case they both get selected I deselect one and the other stays. (EDIT: Nevermind must have been a fluke now I can't deselect them seperately. Weird) (EDIT2: Now I can! Maybe MB's website is not working properly)So it seems as if you select the multimedia package you will automatically get the premium package.

It appears they're standard.Meanwhile, anyone know what the deal is with the rear side airbags? They seem MIA.
HAHA! YESS! Party @ my house. All mercedescla forum members invited! hahaYay!! And it says USB plug and play iPod as standard!!!! Woo hoo!!!!
trust me you want the premium package; Harmon Kardon sound is worlds better than the stock system..not to mention the memory seats, multiple way adjustable front seats and dual climate control.So it seems as if you select the multimedia package you will automatically get the premium package.

Yea I guess you're right. I called the fleet manager at the dealership today concerning my pre-order. My pre-order consisted of; Polar Silver Metallic, Black MB Tex, Bi-Xenon Headlamps, Sports & Multimedia Packages.trust me you want the premium package; Harmon Kardon sound is worlds better than the stock system..not to mention the memory seats, multiple way adjustable front seats and dual climate control.
Right? At first, looking under the sedan section, I couldn't find it. I was like am I missing it?I can't help but chuckle a bit that the CLA250 is listed under the "coupe" section.
