Hardest Decision of My Life

What color combo should I get?

I need something pimpin.

I have been going back and forth on this thing.

At first I love Palladium, then saw it in person and it was a bit of a let down.

Iridium or White?

What didn't you like about the Palladium? I've only seen it in pictures, but it seems to be the best match for the wheels and the clear/chrome pieces in the mirrors and headlights. Iridium is too light, and the grey might be too dark. I wanted to get Capri Blue, but we can't find one anywhere and I probably don't have the patience to wait until October for an order.

Maybe you are right and I need to go back again and look.

Under the light it had a weird tone to it. Still a good color to all the guys that ordered it, and this is a personal preference thing.

If you want a classy look go for the silver/black. No question.

For something pimpin' you gotta have the white/sahara. No other combo comes close.

Steel Grey + Sahara Beige interior w/ black accents looks amazing in person.

IMO they're all great colors on this car. Much like a woman with a beautiful face looks good no matter what she does to her hair, this car can rock at least a few different shades very well.

When you're can arrived and you first saw it at the dealership, what were you're first impressions?

Were you satisfied with this look?

Can't go wrong with either one. Personally I went with the Iridium / Black / Silver insets combo. I did see White / black on the showroom last week and it looked awesome. White / Sahara should be even better. If we didn't already have a white SUV I would have gone white on my C63 (my C32 was Silver / Black). Would have liked to change colors this time but my wife loves Silver on a Benz

Do you have any pictures of this combo? I ordered this same combo because I think it will look great, but haven't seen it ever. Classy and aggressive at the same time. Can't wait to get my car...about two weeks.

I just learned that you went with the 650i. I am sure you will enjoy it. I was looking forward to seeing your C63.

hey George....yea i did

i wouldve went with the C63, but my options where lease ONLY, not buy

so to lease a 70k car with payments that equal a 100k car makes no sense

its way overpriced on a lease....im paying less, and getting a car that has a sticker of more the 20k

it makes no sense, 2 weeks ago, the same MB dealership offered me an 08 S550 4matic sport for 1400......the stick was 106

and now they offer me a 72k c63 for 1440.... thats just dissapointing to me

the 650 is costing me 1320 for 30 months.....the 63 was 1440 for 36

Yes - the C63 comes in Capri Blue metallic, although you would almost certainly have to order it. You can see the color on some other C and S classes.

Well if you put it that way... I'm guessing now, you'll see some flashes of light along with some loud thunder when passing you but surprisingly there will no rain...
