Just ordered a Palladium...but

A Palladium Silver/Red interior C250 (fully loaded except for lane change option) for my wife...I got a call from my sales rep @ MB of Tampa and they said the Bi-Xenon lighting option I put in for was going to delay the delivery by at least 8 weeks. He said instead of a probable December 2011 (too late for my wife's birthday) delivery it would be at least Feb 2012.

So I said fine...it is my wife's car...so I wasn't too upset...

The Palladium really looks good...the only change I'll make on it is the interior trim. I ordered the Aluminum (the wood treatments don't look good with the red leather to me for some reason) as the lesser of 3 evils...but will get it painted piano black after delivery and before I give it to wifey for her birthday.

Stick with aluminum! it looks much sportier I will post pics of my palladium/red and alum trim tomorrow when I pick it up!!

Also... the bixenons are pretty neat, cause they have the little U shape in the headlights but in terms of usefulness I doubt anyone really needs them
