![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Does anybody have any pics of the new Almond/Mocha MB tex for the 09 C-class? Looks nice from the few pics I have seen on the MBUSA website. I think it might look nice with a black exterior and Burl Walnut Wood Trim. Got a black interior now and it might be a nice change
thanks

I've only seen the pics on the website, but I do really like it. The wife really wanted me to get the lux model because she wasn't feeling the black int. That's when I made some smart *** comment in my best cartman impression and well, I've been sleeping on the couch ever since. BUT, I got my black interior!
j/k btw.

But what colors can you pair up with this interior?
- Black
- White
- Capri Blue
- Barolo Red
- Sand Beige (Luxury only)
I think that's it, no other exterior color goes with the tan interior. Comments?

Something to keep in mind with '09 Sport Models opting for Almond/Mocha interior is that the studded brush metal finish on the pedals and a few aluminum accents are eliminated. I guess MB thought it clashed..or something.
Here is the quoted caveat from the 2009 MBUSA brochure: "6 Rubber-studded pedals, 3-spoke steering wheel and silver-color instrument cluster not available with Almond/Mocha upholstery on Sport models. Almond/Mocha upholstery only available with Burl Walnut wood trim."

Looking at the prices, looks like those poor hosers from north of the border will be taking a royal screwing on the '09s, cost-wise.
$1200 for Tele-aid with zero talk time?

Capri Blue with the beige interior always pops, but the problem is every Capri Blue car I see has it, I like to be different. Think I would go with Sand Beige if your looking at a Luxo model or Pewter in the Sport with the beige interior.

Thanks for the info chilledbenz, glad to see they are easing up a bit and allowing additional combinations. The beige may of been nice to have in the sport model. When we were looking however, I noticed the lux model w/ beige we drove had kind of a lot of dashboard reflection on the windshield, where as the GL we looked at had a slightly darker but similar color on the dash that produced much less reflection.

What do you think about Palladium Silver with the beige interior? Possible combo?

I've seen that color combo in a Luxury C300 and I have to say that at first I thought it was a bad idea. Apparently others did as well as it sat in the show room for a good month or so before it finally sold (this was during the C class sales peak). I have to say though, after thinking about it, it wasn't all that bad and your almost certain not to see another set up just like it when you pull into the mall parking lot. Gives it that stand out look and while it wouldn't be my first choice in color, I would say that it wouldn't be all that bad.

Model year 2009 is much better with this than the 2008 models. There are two differences between the Lux and Sport models now one being the two exterior color choices, Sand Beige in Lux only and Mars Red in Sport models only and the other being Silver interior trim in Sport models only. The rest of the options have leveled out between the two. The Sport is now available with wood interior trim and with the Beige interior. As for the original posters question, just look at the picture thread located at the top of the C class forum. It is the same as the Lux Savannah/Cashmere interior for 2008, they just changed up the name for it on 2009 models from the looks of it.
Capri Blue with the beige interior always pops, but the problem is every Capri Blue car I see has it, I like to be different. Think I would go with Sand Beige if your looking at a Luxo model or Pewter in the Sport with the beige interior.

And this below just sucks!

thanks for the feedback so far everyone!

The complete list, in my opinion, should be:
Black, Obsidian Black, White, Barolo Red, Mars Red, Capri Blue.
Capri Blue, in particular, looks best with beige.

I am set on getting the black exterior so I know I will have the option to get the Almond/Mocha Tex which is a cool ....I didn't know that the Savannah/Cashmere interior for 2008 looks the same as the Almond/Mocha Tex for 2009? I thought the Almond/Mocha would have been more brownish....
