Spent the day at a "real" Mercedes store with a massive inventory and very professional sales rep. I got to see pretty much every color combo, and every available option. It really helped me narrow in on a build. After a brief fling with a couple of C450s (great car, not my thing) and a nice 300, I got a chance to drive an AirMatic C300. Yeah baby! Thats what an old fart who's been driving an S for the last ten years considers "sporty" and "fun".
With the AMG bits off the table I did a custom build, ticked pretty near every option and still came in $7k under the 450. Still ironing out the deal but at least I know what I'm buying.
This is the exterior and wheels:
Attachment 322010Attachment 322012Attachment 322011Attachment 322013Attachment 322012
Interior but with Crystal Gray seats,
Attachment 322015Attachment 322014
Sport Package
Pano
Rear spoiler
Light package
Hands Free
AirMatic
P2
Air Balance

I believe you. I'm normally a black exterior, machined or silver clearcoat wheel guy. The first new W222 I actually admired was a Palladium Sport on the Multispokes. I think because the barrel of those wheels are the same color as the body, and the face design emphasizes the diameter, those wheels and that body color seem to best represents what the designers were going for. It seems to elevate the presence of the C versus other combos.
But I haven't put a lot of thought into it or anything. 😆

Don't understand why the color above is makes the car look so good.
