I ordered the grey because of the hot seat factor. I hope that I like it. It is really hard to tell from pictures.

+1 for me. Although I preferred the Beige of the Lux it isn't available in the Sport for the US so I went with the next lightest color.

Finally settled for the grey interior with black bird's eye maple and Palladium Silver for our C350 Sports.

Very nice color combo. That Palladium Silver is a nice one.

Am I the only one who prefers a gray headliner instead of black?

I would not mind the grey at all. In fact I prefer the beige. I did see the Black with Grey for the first time last night in a 300 Lux and thought it went together very well though.

I prefer lighter headliners as well -- gloomy otherwise.

I chose black ... I guess that's consistent with the popular vote!

We went with the gray to lighten up the interior. Deb was back and forth sitting in two cars until she decided. I like the looks of it, and thought the all black was too dark. Photos here.

I love the grey/black interior as well. Some people have said it looks cheap, but I thought just the opposite, the black interior looked really cheap to me, at least this way my cheap plastics are colored! Also noticed if you go with the full leather option, you get leather inserts in the doors, looks real good.

Hi Smorris, nice pics and congrats on the new car. I did not have the option of sitting in the Cclass with a grey interior. The demos and showroom cars all had black interiors. I like the contrast of the grey/black but I could not make the decision without actually seeing it. I hope I don't regret it when I actually do see one

I have the MB Tex Grey/Black interior and it looks nice! The only thing is that it looks like its getting dirty already. On the side of the seat closest to the door, it looks like its getting dirty from blue jeans. I've only had the car 3 weeks. Anybody know of any good cleaners?

I just saw a C300 with white exterior and grey interior at the Eglinton dealership in Toronto.... it looked really good. I didn't think it looked cheap. I thought it made the interior of the car look more defined.

I'm seriously thinking of changing my interior colour ... but now I might have to wait longer ... ahhhhh!

This wait is soooo painful!
