Do they offer Designo on C Class?

I was out today at my dealer poking around and killing some time, and ran across a Matte Black Launch Edition C63 coupe. It was definitely a hot looking car.

They also have 2 designo edition E350s on their lot - one is a Mauritus Blue 2011 sedan that they have had for about 8 months now, and the other one is a matte silver 2012 sedan that they just got in.

It's not something I have ever heard of/I inquired about when I ordered mine - but does MB offer the design program for the C class? I'd be curious what other colors they offer if that is the case.

They certainly offer the Designo on the C Class in ROW. Can't speak for US

No Designo option listed on MB USA. But then again- I checked other models that I know have the option and could find those either.

That's kind of why I asked on here. It seems it's not listed anymore.

I'd kill to have the light green color they have in Canada on mine.

Could always DIY wrap a C Class if all you want is matte black. I'm doing that. Mercedes also did that on the C350 Coupe at the preview/launch.

The matte black is definitely hot - not my style though.

I think I am going to be very happy with Sapphire Grey from all of the pics I have seen. I still haven't seen it in person yet - the closest one to me is north of Baltimore right now.

Looking closer at the photos, they look like it could be a dealer's "aftermarket" version of the C63 e.g. aftermarket rims, full wrap, etc... as opposed to something from the factory.

LOL I justified the expense as
a) part of protecting the value of the car (i.e. the paint)
b) looks good
c) see above
(oh and d) reward for passing my CA exams)

Nope - it's a P88 launch edition. My dealer doesn't do aftermarket mods to their MB lot cars. I grabbed a shot of the sticker and attached it. $80K for that one.

The edition ones are a factory paint coat that is available on higher end models. At this point there are no designo options on the regular C250/C350 at this time. But who knows what will happen in the future.

Except C63 no designo options for other Australian market C Class models - unfortunately
