I'd pocket the $650 metallic tag and go with alabaster white/charcol. Spend the money at the Tire Rack on something stickey in 225/50 for the factory wheels. Ask the used car dept. to buy the take off rubber, or save them for winter. Take the change and buy an AMG sway/torsion bar for the back. Enjoy. (I have not voted on anything since Fla. debacle.)

I'd vote for Pewter/Charcoal.
I drove a C320 in this combination. Couldn't work out the numbers with the dealer, so I ended up with a black/charcoal C230Sedan instead. Don't regret it, but I do wish the dealer had a C230Sedan in Pewter/Charcoal.
The Pewter looks sharp, and will show far fewer paint problems than black. The charcoal interior simply looks more sophisticated than the lighter interiors (which look "cheaper" in my opinion).
In any case, go to the dealer and sit in cars with the different interiors for a while, before making the decision on interior color. It's difficult to form a good opinion in a minute or two.

Definitely Pewter/Charcoal, and I wouldn't do Pewter with any other interior color. As long as you keep it clean, Pewter is an awesome color, and I know you like to keep your cars clean.

I have Pewter/Charchoal in two of my cars. Love the color combination. Pewter doesnt look a dirty as black does and the charcoal leather doesnt look cheapy since it matches with the exterior color so well

Pewter/charcoal
i got mine in Pewter/charcoal. I was so sure about getting the ash interior until the last minute before puting in the order. I remembered the showroom car with the light colored interior and saw how easily it gets dirty took one look at the charcoal and i was sold. I have no regrets about getting the charc.

for exterior you should get either black or silver
white does not really match benz imo
pewter is nice but it looks like desert silver sometimes and i think that color is very ugly
for exterior i was planning on getting java or ash so the wood would stand out more. but the MB used some cheap material and a darker interior hides it better. plus black doesnt get dirty that often
so if i were you get silver (easiest to keep clean, havnt clean mine in about 5 weeks and it still looks great) exterior.every seems to have it but who cares!
and get black charcoal (easiest to keep clean) interior
i dont recommend black on black because it looks kind of dull, you shouldnt make it all the same color
other nice colors if you dont mind the surcharge fee would be black opal and tectite grey
hope this helps

Hey now, I like my white car. Actually, I like white and black the most on the coupe.
White is also okay on the sedan, but it's usually with java and I don't really like that combination. But a white sport sedan with ash or charcoal looks awesome.

Thats the best part. I would never get a black car without a black interior.

I had to have black on black on purpose. The dealer had a tough time finding one just like that.

Thanks for your help everyone! They had 2 Black/charcoal C320's at the dealer but I hated the monochromatic scheme on the C for some reason. I really liked the java interior and they found me one! The car is at the port now and will be diverted to boston instead of its intended dealer in PA. The car i got was black exterior(I know I couldn't help myself, i think its the best color on the C) with java leather interior. I also got these options...
-4matic all wheel drive
-Automatic Transmission
-Bi-xenon C4 package
-C2 Value package
-Heated Seats
-Factory-installed CD changer
-(Dealer installed) 3M Scotchcal clear bra.
The car will be here saturday and I am taking delivery of it with the plastic on the paint, (salesman looked at me with a raised eyebrow when i said that, lol). I couldn't pass up the 0% financing that the dealer was offering on the car! And yes it will have 3 coats of Zaino on it right the minute it gets home.
