Red Interior
I'm looking for a Steel Grey Coupe with Red Interior, but I've learned Mercedes red comes in two flavors: Bengal Red and Classic Red.
Can anyone tell me what flavor of red is in the C-Class Coupe?

My car looks the same for the most part. Think brick red. It's very classy and looks great, not a bright "look at me" red. I've actually gotten more compliments on the interior than I have anything else. I was nervous about having red but now I don't think I could go with any other color.

It's called 'Flamenco Red' on the C Class 
Also No.1 pick for me, absolutely love it and the combination of diamond white exterior flamenco red interior, it also combines well with nearly all of the exterior colour range

I can answer that one as I almost purchased a 135i with coral red interior - coral red is a lot brighter/lighter red than MB's flamenco red.
Flamenco red looks more like a burgundy/dark or wine red shade, it always seems to look lighter in pics as mentioned above by andrew.
Personally the flamenco is a much better looking shade of red and it wears better too because marks and blemishes won't stand out as much as a lighter red like BMW's coral colour.
I'll post a couple up of mine - hopefully they'll show a more realistic view but may still appear to be a little lighter shade than the real thing

Wowzer.
