both are pretty good combo on this car, can't go wrong. Iridium silver will be easier to maintain. As i've said before, I think black is timeless and black is the new black in the fashion world :-)

btw, is that a yorkie? I have one

Black is awesome; it's just that I'm not into black/black since I like contrast in cars. I'm not so sure about grey leather since my mom's car already has silver/silver on her RX330. The carpets are hard to keep clean.

As for OP, pano with white ext/black interior is hot. Black on black is classy and timeless, don't make a difference with or without pano in terms of the look.

Its full leather, yeah I know where your coming from, I honestly can't see spending the extra scratch for the all leather interior but if it came in different colors like BMW, then I might make the exception. It seems to be a common practice to make the extra color choices in leather and charge extra, BMW does this as well, but they do look extra nice.

If you're paying for it...it should come down to your opinion.

I like mars red the best personally.

Go to the dealer, look at the colors, pick the one you like best.

We always prefer our Merc in silver, but this time we wanted a change.
Ordered our C350 Sports in Palladium Silver and Grey interior with premium package (includes pano-roof and Command in Canada), Keyless-Go, 18" AMG wheels...the works!

As somebody points out, Palladium Silver is a nicest alternative to Iridium Silver and is real easy to maintain

2008 c300

This is my personal favorite, when I saw this combo I just had to get it. Black pano roof with the AMG wheels, red paint and black leather with aluminum trim. I took the c300 badge off and would like to get the rear spoiler also.

Lovin the car for now.

I dunno how I would look driving a red car, but yours looks freakin awesome. Never seen a Mars Red w/ pano and AMG 18" combo.

Arctic White w/ pano and AMG 18" is the best in my unbiased *coughcough* opinion though.

That's what I said until I saw this at the dealer, I wasn't planning on buying a car for another month or so, next day I signed on the financing.

Never would I have thought I would be driving a red car, but I LOVE it.

I'm sure everyone who posted before you has either gotten their cars in the color combo they wanted seeing as how the last person to post was in 2008.
