C-Class Active Safety

[SirOracle]

Hi,

I was reading about the new Audi A4 and it seems it has lot more active safety gadgets (and more luxury options) than the new C-Class. Why didn't MB put more of this stuff in the C-Class (as an optrion). For exanple it has:

- LED in the side mirror to warn if there is a car in the blind spot
- Lane departure assist
- Auto cruise control that automatically brakes the car to maintain distance
- Rear-view camera for parking
For luxury:
- Ventilated seats

How come MB (so concerned about safety (and comfort) doesn't put things like this? Even Ford Mondeo has more gadgets like this...

I am little dissapointed by MB

They are Not Active Safety. some of them could be only passive but Who cares Who needs it.

for example rear view camera is useless part the others are not need to talk about

Do not waste your time . The Star is enough !

Sometimes, too much is too much.

Half the stuff they put on the car is there to make the buyer go, "ooo...ahhhh," in order to get you to think that a light in a mirror makes the overall car better.

...not to mention all that crap will be optional and will cost an assload of money.
