I dont know if id call them emissions related "extras",Cause theyre not really extra theyre just different.Like theyll both have cats and charcoal canisters but the U.S. versions have something different about them.Im not from Europe, so I dont know how hardcore they are these days about that stuff but here in NJ vehicle inspection has turned into a big fiasco in the last few years with the dyno machine to check emissions and a gas tank cap leak check.

The increased ground clearance is on all U.S. models. I think our DOT requires it to be a certain height, But maybe Mercedes wants it higher than that. But the option code is 482 and all our U.S. models have it standard.Even with sport packages[:)]
