Buying 09 Today - One Final Decision
Hey guys, sorry I tried posting this in the appropriate thread, but no responses. I am going to buy my 09 C300 4Matic Sport after work today. They have 2: one with aluminum trim and one with the burl wood trim (the brown trim). I was just wondering what you guys thought? The Wood costs like $300 I think, but it doesn't feel as light of material as the aluminum. However, the aluminum's color goes better with the car...

Between the aluminum and burl walnut trim for a black/grey interior, I'll pick the aluminum. You are getting a sport and not a luxury model after all.
Personally, I would choose the black birds-eye maple to go with the black/grey interior.
Good luck and have fun you with new ride. Don't forget to post pictures.

Wow, that grey/black blackwood looks awesome. Mine is going to be all black on the inside. They have 2 at the dealership right now, one with the brown wood and one with aluminum. I don't think they have the black wood, I didn't see it on the MB website either...

If its an all black interior I would go with the wood trim, it looks much more suitable for a $40k car. The silver trim in my car is starting to "dent" and scratch from getting in and out of the car or where the seat belt got a little wild and hit the door.

For a black interior get the walnut, aluminum looks cheap.

It's all about personal preference.
I would never go with wood trim myself, unless it was black birdseye maple. And so for a black interior... get the aluminum. Walnut doesn't look sporty enough.

Wow, $3k is a lot for the trim. I appreciate everyone's input. I ended up going with the aluminum trim. Took it home last night, very excited. It was actually in the delivery garage next to a S65 (I think that was it, it was a V12) in royal blue. The salesman said it's Carlos Zambrano's car! I thought that was cool.
