C300 Lunar Blue or Steel Grey

I am looking at possibly getting a 2014 C300 sport.

When I build the car on MBUSA I think I like lunar blue or steel grey.

My MB dealer only had white and black ones to drive/look at.

I have not seen any of these colors on the road so I really wonder how well they look in person.

It also seems that everyone goes with the black, white or silver MB's around here (MA).

So my question is are these color nice and how rare are they?

I currently have a 328 with Le Mans Blue (I like to stand out)

C300 Sport/Palladium Silver on Black/P2
Lunar Blue you almost never see. Might be hard to even order one at this point.

Steel Grey you see now and again, probably one of the more common after the popular ones you mentioned. It looks very beautiful!

Lunar Blue is a beautiful color and would be a great color to Stand Out. The other would be Mars Red. Steel Grey looks more traditional and common. I almost bought a Steel Grey Sedan w/Sports PLUS Package- now that was AMAZING!

Leaning towards the blue, red is too much

Need to find a blue one locally to look at.

When do you think they will stop making them...I know the new model is maybe springtime.

I think I am going with this build.

C300 4matic Sport sedan
Lunar Blue
17 twin 5 spoke wheels
Bi-Xenon lights
Panarama roof
Black MB Tex
Aluminum trim or wood (not sure yet, model I looked at had wood..never seen the aluminum)
Premium Package
Multimedia Package
Keyless go

Not getting the sport package, the red stitching/belts and suede are not me. I am not in high school or foreign.

Build sounds good.
Ouch! on the Sport Package comment- I'm far from a teenager and unless you consider German/American from New Hampshire foreign...
You do realize it is basically the same interior as the C63 Black Series which is on the the most incredible cars on the road?

Sorry...comment was in jest. It's just not my style. I think it is mainly the red seat belts I have an issue with.

I bet if I could do a C63 I probably would love the interior because that car is meant to look lean and mean.

Do you have the aluminum trim? or have you seen it?

I have the Aluminum Trim in my Coupe and had it in my 08 C300 sedan. I am happy with it because I like the sportier look. With the Lunar Blue and Black- I would lean towards the BurlWood.

If you order the seat belts can be black with I think red stitching. Also if you order think about the adjustable sport suspension. It is supposed to change the ride dramatically and is my only regret.

I think I like the look of both.

Like you said aluminum looks sporty, and the burl wood look classic.

I think either will work.

Nice to know....I don't see any options about an adjustable suspension, is that one of those hidden dealer items?

Maybe it's not on their site anymore since they are ending this car for the new one next year.
