Smile GL450 Color Help Please!



Hi! I'm am going to purchase the GL450 with some options (appearance package, premium 1, etc).
I'm looking for help choosing the color. I know that certain models look better in some colors vs others. I definitely want to choose a color that compliments the GL450 best. I tend to lean toward liking an elegant look vs. a sporty look and I definitely want to have the Almond interior. Thank you in advance for your help:-)

Black looks the best but silver is the easiest to maintain.

Thank you... Do some of the chrome details get "lost" on the silver? I'm intrigued by Dakota Brown but am afraid I'll regret it....

Dakota Brown is one of the best color !! (in my opinion) I was ready to recommend that color... also chrome accents looks really nice with Dakota Brown, you can't go wrong

Thanks! I really hope to see the Dakota in person. The closest dealership that has it is over 2 hours away. I don't think I've ever seen one on the road:-)

Are you buying a 2013 model? You might want to come over to the X166 forum for 2013 models and seek advice there too.

I had Macadamia (tan) leather on my 2007 with Verde Brooke (very dark, almost black green) exterior. I liked the light color in some aspects but found it showed to much dirt, was prone to have dark colored blue jeans bleed onto it, and showed wear patterns easier. So you have to be prepared to keep in clean. I went with black leather on my 2013 and like it better.

But I do have black exterior which is a never ending effort to keep clean.

Thank you! I'll post this question in the other forum as you suggested. Thank you also for your advice with the black interior....I don't know what it is about me-but I've had the opposite experience from most people, I destroy black interior but my light interior always looks good longer. It really doesn't make sense! I currently have ivory in my Range Rover and it still looks great even with a 1 year old and a 4 year old! But thank you, I do appreciate your expertise.
