don't do that (white / grey).... I got white C300 RWD with black interior and with aluminium panel instead of dark wood panel. The grey interior look awful (that is my opinion) especially with MB tex material or even with leather.

I think grey/black inside of white looks great...here are some pics from the Official Picture sticky...

Depends you didn't state if it was a Sport or a Lux model? The grey/black of the Sport model looks awesome, I have it in my Obsidian Black car and its two tone with grey seats and door inserts, but has black carpets, bottom doors, dash, and center console. The grey interior of the Lux model is just two shades of grey and not very inspiring.

I guess I need to see both with my own eyes, cause you can't choose a color just from pictures.

I hope the dealer will have both colors to show me...

I like the contrast... In fact, my original choice was grey (maybe it's because in the brochure, there's a little grey touch)
I will have a look at it to see the texture of the grey artico.

The link the other poster posted is pictures of the grey/black leather interior, my picture is of grey/black MBTex or Artico where your from. Thought I would add that, even though its too hard to tell the difference between the two in pictures.

C 350 Obsidian Black
If they made the gray interior be the same as the Saks edition beige interior I would have gotten Gray with my Obsidian black C350. With the current gray interior I find too much gray inside. The Saks edition seems to put out a better look of a two tone interior. The dash is still all black just with the seats and middle inserts in the doors being beige. Where I feel the gray interior has too much gray in it, and the gray going onto the dash seems to pull away from it.

I think the grey on the dash wraps around the car and blends better, but if your looking for the second color to stand out more, than yes the all black with just a splash of beige does the trick.

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
I have a white C with all black. I had to order the car because there was not one in the entire country that matched my config. It was worth the wait. There was one with grey though. The grey, while nice, looked a little too busy to me.

not to mention always having to clean the color that rubs off pants and onto the gray seats... that sucks...
grey looks cheaper IMO, saw em both, picked black...
only would have rather had the SAK's beige

Don't have that problem with the grey/black in my C, but I do have a big problem with it in my ML. The C's grey is much much darker and it doesn't show near as bad. But while we are on the wishful thinking phase, I would love to have that brick brown color they are getting over seas, it comes off almost as a red.

HAHA....I think the exact opposite, that black looks generic, two-tone looks better to me. But to each his own.
Anyways, I/we/my wife owns the C300 that "itcrashed" posted a link to. We love it, but yes, the gray/grey shows the dirt/stains very easily when compared to black, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It is also the leather package, not the MB Tex.
