Appears to be Palladium Silver, but you can never tell with show cars because more often than not they are one off cars and aren't painted in a production line set up. There are also colored lights shining on the car that give it a whole different look all together.

that is such a nice car, especially with the Bluetec engine.
I don't know why MB is introducing the awkward looking GLK and not selling this in North America. The only wagon that's available here is the aging E-class and the next generation won't be here for some time, and MB already has too many SUVs.
Oh well...

yeah no kidding MB's lineup is starting to look like Toyota's just wait next year they will have a fullsized pickup called the TLK 550. It pains me to think they don't think Americans will buy wagons. If they would, I've got my wife sold on trading up for a C63 AMG wagon.

Bluetec + Hybrid... interesting. I think they had a prototype S-class with that setup last year. I wonder if it will get to production anytime soon. I would like to have the fuel efficiency of the diesel engine, but I am not completely sold on the hybrid concept. The cost, weight and maintenance of the battery pack have me very much concerned.

C63 4matic Estate for me, please.
