I spent a few months car shopping over make, options, and color and I would make the same choice again, Obsidian Black Metallic. It's true that they show dirt easier, but there is nothing more beautiful than a nice polished black metallic car whether in the sunlight or reflecting the street lights at night...it definitely turns a lot of heads. My last two vehicles were white and silver and the black metallic car, even when slightly dirty, looks better than the white and silver car did all polished up. But we're talking about MB, they all look beautiful regardless of color, which certainly is a very personal preference. Also, as for re-sale, black cars tend to sell better than others (in general).

 

Whatever you do, don't get it in the beige/light sandy colour. I saw one a few days ago and I almost threw up.

No offense to anyone on the forums that has that colour car though, but if any of you do, I think your taste really needs a good smack up the backside.

 

I have to put my vote in for Steel Grey Metallic with the works!!

 

BLACK... There is no other choice!

 

I only ever get white, silver or gray cars - otherwise they just look dirty all the time. I only want to wash max once per week and look good all week - my car that is...

 

Iridium silver!!
