See im torn because I like Mocha Almond interior only, and with black and wood trim has fantastic contrast, not sure how i feel about a black car
Im starting to think the steel grey wont look good with it
and Palladium - I cant find one yet, so I dont know if I should wait for one or just go with the black

I personally like Palladium out of the three. My sister has it and it looks great. Black is prone to swirl marks and requires constant maintenance to keep it clean looking. Steel grey is good too but would have to come second over Palladium for me. Good luck with your decision! Post pics of the ride after you get it and welcome to the forums!

I am a Palladium fan, but I question combining it with the MB tan interior...I think it will clash. Palladium seems to look best with the cooler colors of the two-tone grey/black interior or the all black interior. While I have concerns about black cars (heat absorption, hard to keep clean, shows every little blemish), of the three colors you offer, that one would combine best with your mandatory tan interior. You do know that a Sport model with the tan interior forces the four spoke Luxury steering wheel, not the three spoke Sport wheel?

The Black looks the most elegant powerful styled, want Almond Mocha interior, settled on that, trying to figure out the outside color.

Palladium or Steel grey is 7K more, they dont have one on the lot, would have to wait
Go for the classic black and have a mercedes or wait for a custom.

This isn't my first choice, but with that interior, Sand Beige looks best without having to live with the challenges of Black.

Well there is another piece to this, I can get the black one for 29K with 4K miles on it , its the demo.
The palladium or steel grey is 7K more, but they dont have one on the lot so I would have to wait
So what do you guys think go for the classic black and have a mercedes! or wait it out

If you have plans of keeping the car for several years might as well get the color combination you want
Think of any future upgrades that you might add to your car whether it may be a new set of wheels, spoiler, etc. and picture it on how will it blend with the color tone of your choice
A lighter colored car such as artic white and iridium silver is mod friendly... slap in a spoiler and a diffuser whether in carbon fiber or black FRP will create a good contrast... Mine is a steel grey and my carbon fiber lip spoiler and diffuser doesn't stand out too much because of the car's darker shade
Color is a subjective choice... Good luck!

I love the steel grey & palladium silver, but if you're going to go with the almond mocha interior I think you should go with a black exterior.

The Steel Grey would be worse.
As to Palladium, I took a Palladium 2010 C300 4-matic (with black tex and base radio) service loaner home last week and I couldn't wait to get rid of it. The only good thing about it were the Michelin MXM tires.

I will have to beg to differ as I've seen a few Steel Grey's with Almond leather interiors and they are gorgeous!

Yeah I think Steel Grey would work with the tan interior, Palladium would look nasty with it.
I vote steel grey bc I have black and wish I had the grey
