Mars Red C63 AMG?

Has any one seen a picture of a mars red C63? I even wonder if that paint color will be offered on this car?

I've seen it on other AMGs and think it looks awesome but I know a lot of people probably find it too bold for a Mercedes. Truth be told, my first AMG was in red (imperial red) and while I loved it, it was a b*tch to sell because people (at least here in the boring northwest) seem to only like silver. My current AMG is silver and while I like it, I'm just quite tired of the color for now. I remember when I ordered my current C32 (one of the first in the country), the dealer told me I could walk away from the deal if I didn't like it after I test drove it because I was buying silver. They told me they could not provide me the same 'escape clause' if I ordered something "strange" like red. I wonder if they will say the same thing for my C63 order when it comes time to hammer out the particulars (I'm presently number one on the waiting list). Certainly not compelling reasons to buy red but I want the car that I want and not what some unknown buyer wants at resale. Any body else think mars red (cop magnet red) would look awesome on the C63?

You name it i've had it or got it...
If you want red and they have it...get it. Not a fan of red on sedans, but it would look good. Just make sure you lease it...will save you the trouble of resale. These cars depreciate like crazy anyway...good luck with whatever you choose.

CLK....Just ordered a C63 in red.
Red Works 4 Me

My wife and I just ordered a Mars Red C63. We will trade our red 05 CLK and I think the red 04 Vette I lost in Katrina will be nicely replaced.

The down size to two seat cars is that you can only terrorize one person at a time...........can't wait to put the "look" on three at a time now!!

I REALLY like the Mars Red, both on the W204 and on the W203. Orion Blue was another color that we don't see many of, but it's really nice.

I like Mars Red. I think Red and White look the best with the darker wheels.

Mars Red is code 590 (non-metalic).
