I just picked up my car from the dealer today! It's a Palladium C300 Sport, Black Ash Open Pore, Blind Spot Assist, Parktronic, Lighting Pkg, Multimedia, Pano, 18-inch AMG 5-Spoke Alloy etc. It was ordered in late March and it arrived here at the dealer this past Tuesday.
This was my second order, my initial order from January was delivered in March but with the Comfort suspension which I declined hence, the re-order. This car has a build date of 6/15. By the way, due to traffic on the way back I was only able to do 65Mph to test for wind noise. However, even at that speed the car was whisper quiet . I will post better pictures when I get a chance.

...paint glows real nice (I'd never guess palladium).
I spent time in the parking lot looking at the three silvers available. I went with Iridium (but again - I'd never guess Palladium from the pix)

Congratulations and welcome back. Perfect color combo .... coincidentally the same as mine.
My 3/15 build has been very solid and trouble free, as well as quiet. Enjoy your beautiful new car.

StanH you are correct, it looks like Alabama has tightened things up as this car's fit and finish is much better than one of my earlier W205 loaners. Bumper is properly aligned and no wind noise.
I went into the dealership to order the Iridium but as I sat there and looked at the Iridium in the showroom side by side with a Palladium, I changed my mind and went with the Palladium and I am glad I did.

Looks great.
Mine's going to be Palladium, when it eventually comes, so really interested in your photos.
I've currently got a Tenorite Grey W204, and have previously owned 2 SLKs before this one.

I had a real problem deciding between Iridium and Palladium when I picked up my first C300. I went with Iridium on that one, but decided to try the Palladium on number two. I really like the Palladium, and it seems to accent the lines of the car more than the lighter silver. The big advantage, so far, is that my wife hasn't once tried to get into the wrong car in a parking lot.
Enjoy the car madmax!

Thanks, Iridium/Palladium both are colors the W205 'wears' well. Enjoy your car when you get it, don't forget to post pics!

I had Iridium on my last SLK, and have Tenorite on my current W204, so decided on the Palladium for the new W205.
I love the Diamond Silver in the book and online and was going to get that until I saw one in real life. It seemed so flat and too much of a blue tint.
