Wow! Great colors, I would of paid extra for that! Maybe MB will wakeup and realize they are leaving lots of money on the table with their rigid control of which countries get which options.
Any chance you want to swap your seats and door panels with me? I could even toss in some of our 'oh so strong' American dollars!

MY13 C63 P30, K&N filters, V6 tune, secondary cats deleted.
A closer look will show this car is a Lux version with the sport grill conversion. Maybe it comes standard like that in Aus? My point being that the shift knob on the Lux version in the states is all leather, the one shown in these pictures is the same as the C63 leather/aluminum, without the AMG logo on top.
W0n6_3d4n car is the Avantgarde model which cost around A$75,000 or US$65,000 for the C200K on the road, for that sort of money you can understand why we have a wide range of interior colours available.

The cognac interior is an option on the E-class here in the States. Don't know if it is an option on the S-class. I saw several on the dealers' lots when I was looking for my new car.

2008 Black Out C350 Saks Edition / 87 VW GTI
[QUOTE=W0n6_3d4n;2550108]After saying goodbye to my beloved W203, i took a new baby home.
Solid Black with Cognac Brown/Black interior, Vision package and Fold rear seat.
I really enjoy the car, awesome to drive and smooth, sound system (Harman Kardon) is decent but not up to my standard. Parktronic is very helpful. Looking forward to see the Bi Xenon on action.
Biggest improvement over my old C class is the aircon, quiet and cool the cabin rather quickly. Love the steering and the brake, big side mirror is good too. Can't complain about the interior, i feel the dash on my W203 is more beautifully form (rounded) but the new C has a solid feel to it. Black headliner is a welcoming change for me, i love the way it blend with Cognac brown leather. Black maple wood is very nice too. Glove box has shrunk, it has problem swallowing the manual.
More leg room on the rear but the rear seat itself feel smaller than the older C.
nice combo

Very nice color combo and shifter knob is good looking. Good luck with the new car. In your signature you put 2007? This is a 2008 or is this a dateline thing?

c300 Sport P
Those color options "were" available here in the States. It is a special edition which supported of breast cancer. I do not recall how many were available for sale, but there was one at my dealer in tampa. Not sure if it is still there. I was tired of black and went paladium....

Beautiful! I want that shift knob. Does anyone know if it is available in the US? I was just in a performance shop and they were trying to talk me int a Momo knob but I like this so much better.

Choice, no choice
<<The reason the US has limited interior color choices is that the AMG package is standard on the "sport" C class models. If you configure a C class avantgarde with the AMG package anywhere in the world, the same choices exist as in the US. This is not MBUSA's decision, but central.>>
You are right. It's the blockheaded Germans in Stuttgart who pay no attention to what their biggest market might desire. Ve know best.

C200K (w204)
Better picture is on the card .
I test drove C220 CDI, in the inside of the car it's very2 quiet and much more refined than the 200K, engine pull smoothly and does not require much of a gear change.
The feeling of 400Nm shoving you in to the seat is awesome.
I picked 200K because of
1) it's around $3000 cheaper and the performance plus the economical benefit is not that different since Diesel fuel is much more expensive (although I miss that diesel pulling power).
2) Diesel chatter from the outside of the car.
3) Diesel is 100kg heavier, can feel it around the bend.

Just saw a tenorite grey/brown (i.e., cognac) CLC when visiting a European dealer over lunch today. Dealer confirmed that it was the same color on the C. The OP's pics are right on target -- the color is slightly more red than BMW's two-tone brown interior for the 3 Coupe. IMHO, the MB color is a perfect fit for a dark outside color (black/grey/blue) and either grey wood or alu interior.
