Designo now available!
Hi,
just talked to MB USA and they verified the availability of two designo editions (those I've seen on NetStar):
Designo Mystic White (tan interior)
Designo Graphite (graphite interior)
Unfortunately, they "forgot" to offer designo Mocha Black - that means no designo for my ordered CLS...

Perhaps you should ask your salesman to DOUBLE CHECK on the Designo Mocha Black. That color IS available in Canada. I checked with my salesman yesterday and he confirmed that Designo Mocha Black (color code: 033) IS orderable in Canada. I am struggling between Designo Mocha Black and Iridium Grey.
However, it might be different in the States. For example, Pewter has been available on MY05 SLK in Canada, but in the US, it is a new color for MY06 SLKs.

I can highly recommend Designo Mocha Black!
I've seen this color on a CLK convertible and it simply looks awesome! The two available options for the US are no options for me because I def. prefer a light interior but simply hate white exterior (just my opinion). Mocha Black would have been perfect, but I think Obsidian black and Cashmere is O.K. as well (at least I can save $5K now 
).

Correction, my info was wrong...
I have to make a correction to my info previously reported on this thread concerning designo Graphite for the CLS55:
The interior color (color of the seats and door inserts) isn't Charcoal -
IT IS DESIGNO PORCELAIN (some kind of beige, according to rep. of MBusa)
the wood trim is BLACK PIANO LACK - that is so awesome - I will change my order and get that...

1. standard paint (no charge, jet black i.e.)
2. metallic paint (obsidian black i.e.)
3. designo metallic paint (graphite grey i.e.)
4. designo mystic paint (mystic white i.e)
5. designo chromaflair paint (most expensive, about $5,000 extra).
So you can call mystic white some kind of pearl white metallic...

Is black piano finish a fake solid black laquer with a clear coat that looks like real plastic?

The IWC limited edition CLS55 comes with this trim, too.
