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

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.

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

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)

'08 C300 Lux Barolo Red Beige Leather P2 MM 18" wheels '84 944
Colors
<< 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.

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

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?

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.
