Steel gray picture thread

I'll start. It's funny how many people think this car is a s class amg from a distance. I think the steel gray makes this car look bigger than most colors.

Nice looking car! I'm a big fan of that color. Not sure how any mistakes it for an S-class, though..

I had 3 black cars in a row before this 350, and was searching for black again until I ran into this color - everyone has a preference, but I really think this car looks amazing in this color - never thought I would prefer a shade of gray over black....

Excuse the poor photograghy, especially in front of the Make a Wish building, I just happened to be drving by and saw it all lit up - plan to go back with an actual camera and try to get some good pics in that location at some point...

Wondering, the wheels shown above in my picture. Are these optional for 2010? I've seen many other sport and they don't have these wheels. Just wondering.

Love the color. Varies between a cold dark grey and almost a metallic navy blue depending on the light. Def unique.

I love the steel grey. I didn't have a color option, so black it was.
But if I could choose, steel grey would be the color I would want. I'd pay an extra $2k to get that.
