Hello everyone. I am new to the forum and this is my first post after lurking for a while learning all I can about the C350 which I think is a terrific looking car.

I am in the process of selling my wife's car to replace it with a 2010 C350 Sport in white. I was a little disappointed to learn that the tan/mocha interior is not available when you opt for the adaptive sport package. Apparently the paddle shifter steering wheel only comes in black? My wife really likes the white with tan/mocha look. Now I will try to steer her towards the grey/black interior in white.

The last Benz she had was a 1990 190 2.6 in seafoam green which was a terrific car. From that she went into a 1997 993 C4S, then to a 2001 NSX-T, and now drives a Honda Accord coupe V-6 navi.

I really like the look of the new smaller turn signal mirrors on the '10 model year. I always thought the others were a bit oversized and out of balance, but I am sure quite functional.

As for me, I have had a ton of cars too. Currently trying to get the wife to give me her blessing to buy a '71 914-6 Porsche and do a complete restoration/build for a fun around town car.

Welcome to the forum. I really love the tan/mocha interior. It wasn't an available option when I bought my car 2 years ago. Have you driven the car with the paddle shifters? I heard C63 members complaining about the lag in shift speed with the paddles. Hopefully the C350 won't have that problem. If it does, that white and tan/mocha will look amazing.
