I've never owned a white coloured auto and thus cannot say from first-hand experience, I would imagine white is easier to maintain than black.

There are many problems with black and white cars. Silver is all of a sudden becoming very appealing.

 

Clean it three times a week? An exaggeration perhaps? Or perhaps a confusion of the definition of cleaning?

No matter where you live, cleaning a car three times a week is a bit too much. I hope you're not putting your black car into the machine car wash. Black cars are not machine washable just so you know, and thus it would not be considered a proper cleaning.

 

I was exaggerating, and I would never take any of my cars to a machine car wash. The only ones I've ever used was those touch-free ones in the winter. I had a black 330i and it wasn't really that much of a hassle to keep it clean, so I'm making a bigger deal out of it that it really is. I'm sure once I actually see if with my own eyes I won't be able to resist and I'll buy it.

 

Drove one exact to this last night. Confirmed color with dealer, it is Palladium

Black...

Cause it repels COPS Lidar/Laser

 

Thank you

I saw a White E Class on highway , my front- and like it ! Changed my mind

My next C (W204) exterior colour will be between them;

1-White
2-Silver(Iridium or Palladium)
3-Grey (Steel or Tenorite)

Interior ;

1-Black Leather (sport-ergonomic)
2-Rock Grey Leather ( more closey grey my current Alpaca grey, looks better)

 

I believe most, if not all, of the models that went to the dealers are Palladium Silver. I've owned a black car and, though I love the looks, it is not friendly in the hotter parts of the country. I was leaning toward a White exterior with the Tan (Stone?) interior, but I did really like the Palladium Silver on the C300 Sport. It seems to let the lines of the car "show off" more than the white would. I would probably lean more toward the gray interior in that case, but it would depend on the trim (chrome vs. wood).

 

does anyone has pictures of c300 sport in steel gray?

 

I played with the configurator on the dutch website and Tenorite Grey looks awesome( I have to see it in person) to make a decision on it but if I had to choose my colors.

1.Tenorite Grey( looks kind of deep deep blue than grey ( black interior)
2 Palladuim silver( black interior with black maple wood)
3. Black ( black interior)

I think the Panoroof is awesome (what is the cost for this option)

 

Nice choices there. The pano roof costs $1,000

 

Check it !

<< I like black cars alot as they give the exclusive look...... later, I started thinking about black again. Not only that, my current car is black and I've always imagined having a W204 in black with AMG kit. I think that's how I decided to go with black.>>

After 6 1/2 years living with Obsidian Black and the rockchips and scratches it's no more black for me. I have been polishing out the scratches about 3-4 times per year and I'm tired of it. Of course, the nano-particle clear coat will go a long ways in cutting down on scratches. So, my C300 Lux will be Barolo Red with Beige leather. I will be swapping out the grill to a Sport grill and changing the wheels to the 17" AMGs which are standard on the Sport. I like the appearance of the 18s but the ride is too rough with them, particularly combined with the lowest-bidder Conti tires which will also have to go. I placed a deposit in January and even so, with the delay caused by the Multimedia package, my car's production date will be the third week in September.

The lack of memory seats has also pissed me off. Good old MBUSA. Mother knows best, apparently.

 

Do you mind posting pics of the rockchips and scratches you have on your car? I'm ordering it in black and would like to see how bad they look.

 

Anyone who can get pics of theTenorite Grey at diffrent angels in the sun and in the dark by anychance. I was also thinking with the standard non retractable 5" screen you could put a new garmin Nav system right in there facing you on the far right side of the screen and see the radio too. Do you guys think it will fit

 

Beautiful! This is the same as Pewter in the USA and is what I have on my W203.

 

I'm jealous of the two tone interiors they can get in Germany on the Avantgarde. Same colors that are available on the E-Class sport here from MY 2007+.

 

That would improve the interior so much!

 

Since I've chosen to get a black ext, what do you guys think about the color of the interior? My current interior is black and I want to try the grey interior for this one. Do you think it's a nice fit in the sport model? Any disadvantages of having a grey interior?

 

I have Alpaca Grey , well not so much hate and like

But I saw new gray more cool than alpaca gray here called Rock Grey ( I do not know what you say it there !) Better than alpaca grey !

And secondly you can buy Sport-ergonomic seat with black -like C63-

 

White with black interior is nice, but it gets too hot in summer, so it will be grey interior.

Black exterior looks nice. Again it gets too hot in summer so white is for me.

 

Why does it matter if the outside of the car gets hot??
