I'm surprised you like the Dynamic Seats + Massage options.

Unless they have a specially "tuned" version for the higher classes, I special ordered my E Class with both of those options because I thought they would be something useful. Unfortunately, on the E at least, the dynamic seat/adaptive cushioning bolster is way delayed and my body has already shifted significantly before it does anything. The massage option sounded promising, but wasn't anything more than a lump of air rolling up and down your back.

With that said, I think Merc has definitely gotten it right with the Airscarf on convertibles, as it makes a big difference. Having cross shopped the SLK with the Z like most of us, I can say the Airscarf was a major con for the Z that made the decision really hard for me.

Back on topic, good review. It was as expected though, as the SL is the definition of a grand tourer/cruiser (that packs a punch) while the Z is more of a "sports car" with luxurious features added in.

Any pics of the new ride?
