that's nice for all us poor folk with 2008's, as soon as a good aftermarket one is available, i'll pop it in mine! MB went sideways when they quit making I-6 engines and made V-6's and then turn signals on mirror caps... talk about going ghetto!!!!

I personally see the turn signals on the mirrors as very effective. I on several ocasions have been saved from an accident because the other person or I saw the blinking light at the last moment as both of us intended to change lanes being almost parallel to each other. American cars dont have turn signals on the sides of the vehicle as most Euro and Asian Cars on the othe side of the pond do!
If safety is Ghetto.. well call me 55cent

I sell M-B in Houston. I like the V-6. It's well made, quiet and smooth. We laugh @ BMW with their antique in-line. The nose of the car can be styled much more apealingly with a shorter/lower powerplant package.
Mirrors ghetto??? Both of my other cars (Benz's) have the indicators in the mirrors...looks better than a goofy bubble on the side of the fender. What do you drive besides the smart...anything?
Call me fitycent, too.

nahhh, indicators on plastic mirror covers is "ghetto". i had an older MB. the smart looks better than new benz's it has a small indicator on the body near the doors. the mirrors are clean and fine. a plastic smart looks better than any new benz. (i took pics of the newest benz, this guy parked next to my smart yesterday and was enthralled with the smart!)
