Mercedes Benz C-Class Inquiry

car_fever

I am the guy who loves illuminated light switch. I always think VW has done a great job on the Jetta considering its relatively cheap price. Anyway, just want to ask if anyone knows the new C-Class has illuminated light switch? (ex. the front and rear air-vent switch)
Appreciate your info!

I can speak for the C320 - yes the dash vent controls and other "switches" are illuminated. A very nice touch that you would expect on a car of this nature.

Thanks for replying me! And I got one more question... do the rotary air vent wheels have lights on it as well? (the kind you'll find in Audi A4) or only the "symbols" are illuminated? (like the Jetta)? Thanks again!!!

Just a reminder that the MB chat is on tonight (6-7pm Pacific/9-10 pm Eastern). Hope to see you there!

Yes, they are illuminated as well...

The only one that is the large vent dial "on top of" the dash board - probably since it would reflect off the windshield if it was.

I sat in a C320 the othe day. Very small interior.
One thing that surprised me was the feel of the interior door handle; a two piece plastic part.

You think Mercedes could have wraped that area with leather. My 96 Toyota Camry with leather seats, has leather interior handles which feel much richer than C320. You even feel the the parting line when shuting the door.

JR, thanks for your input. Anyway, in the MB Chat this tuesday, someone told me that only the C320 has lighted dials... what about the C240?

I have no experience with the 240 to relate...
