Why would they make the cool looking seats an OPTION. These are going to cost ~$2k im assuming!

from merc website: http://www.mercedes-amg.com/webspecial/cla45/index_eng.php

what do we get if we dont order these? non amg-CLA front seats?

and here are the stock cla (non AMG) seats i believe:

I'm guessing they are making it an option because some people don't want the sticker price of the car to go up by $2k for seats. More options is a good thing. A car isn't a one size fits all.

I agree. More options is good to keep costs down.

AS long as neither of them are too highly bolstered like the ones in the C63!

No such thing as too highly bolstered....your're going to be pulling about 1g around corners in this car.

Then there has to be an adjustment to allow the bolsters to get closer or further from your body since I couldn't stand the constant pressure pushing my rib cage together n the C63 which I kept for 6 mths before getting a 1M which seats are just fine (and does better than 1g). I need this as a daily driver so it better be comfortable!
