I'm a palladium lover naturally, but in the sedan. I'm feeling white for the wagon. Either way you'll be happy.

palladium silver hands down. Great looking color. My dealer had a white one and a iridium silver, i went with the silver but if they had palladium i would've gotten that in a heart beat.

Matte designo will be +6000 usd and 2-3 month additional wait.
Dont like the matte grey but the matte white is great. There was one matte white c63 wagon on Geneve motor show in april. There is a Youtube clip of it togethet with à matte white e63...

Anyhow, my choices is still kalcit (artic) white and Palladium Silver...

More feedbacks are welcome!

I really like the Palladium Silver myself. Started out with that for my C63 but ended up switching to Tenorite (Steel) Grey. I think both colors look really good on the wagon. Wish I could get one for my wife.

Your question relates to personal taste so I am not sure we can help.
I like the silver better as I think white cars are boring.

palladium -

i almost got a white one but after staring at a white one in the showroom for about an hour i opted against it because the C63 white just isnt white enough - its a little off compared to other whites like on the M3

I think the darker colors shows its lines and shadows better than the white. The white lacks the sharpness.

WHITE..... i have seen almost every color available in person and i gotta say the white looks the best, and i believe every luxury car looks better in white because you can see all the body lines and it just looks so sexy.

Seriously, even though I got white, I think for the wagon go for WHITE

My personal fav color for the sedan is RED, I just couldn't bring myself to get it.

BTW..

My order process was the following;

1. (Beginning of March 2010) Order of E-class 220 convertible diamond white
2. Change of order to E-class coupe diamond white
3. Change of order to E-class Estate 220 white
4. Change of order to E-class Estate 350 CDI white
5. Change of order to E-class Estate 350 CDI 4-matic white
6. Change of order to E-class Estate 350 CDI 4-matic designo leather interior + special order diamond white exterior

Realized that the price was to high for a E-350 ..started to look at the E63... to expensive... really noticed the C63 for the first time at the dealar - even if it has been availible in a couple of years..

7. (Beginning may) Order of low-spec C63 AMG 2011 white
8. Mixed with all options for a couple of weeks
9. (today) Ended up with a really specced C 63 AMG MY2011 Palladium silver with designo extended leather dashboard + CF panels + a lot of other nice options..

Really happy with my end-choice but I have struggled with my order and mind since beginning of march .. ending up with a car out of my dreams .. and a price nearly twice my first order

You will not be disappointed with Palladium.

Man I wish we could get the wagon here in the states. I would take the wagon over my sedan in a heartbeat. It really makes me mad that you can't get the MB AMG Estates and Audi RS Avants here.

Why? Can't you just import one from europe? As we import cars from US?

Sure - you might need to put on your yellow front-markers etc.

The wagon (any make) is the most popular car-type overhere and have been for many years ..
And to be able to combine engine with a practical car is really nice ...
