2011 E350 Cabriolet..White and Almond Mocha
GL 450 on the lot...
Taken today at Fletcher Jones in Las Vegas, NV. Most basic models with few options. I am having second thoughts on the Obsidian Black and without Barolo Red available until June I am now leaning toward Arctic White. It really looked great!

Nevada Jack...you are TOO funny! I am going through the same thing you are trying to decide on a color! I first wanted Pewter...then i was sure I wanted Barolo Red. Then when I saw Verde Brooke...I knew that was the color. Well one of my neighbors just got a white GL450...and it sure looks good! I love the Verde Brooke (which is almost black), but when I see a black one, it always looks so dirty. I think at this point i've narrowed it down to either pewter or white...but that could change any moment!

Well the color I would REALLY like to have is the medium blue from the photo on the other thread of the GL420CDI Vision...but that's not an option currently. I have a pewter color car now, I love it, and it really hides dirt well...but sort of wanting something different on my next vehicle. I, like you, would probably still be considering the Barolo if there wasn't an issue with it.

My 2003 E320 was Pewter and it is a great color...never showed the dirt. With white the only problem you have is the "sling" from the wheels and it shows on the rocker panels.

when you say "special paint application", do you mean a special color for a showcar, or can you actually special order it for an exhorbatant fee?

I think MB uses what they call AluBeam or something like that for their vision and concepts. It will eventually enter the production line, probably on the S and will cost a pretty good penny....couple of grand probably.
