Designo Cardinal Red

Today we delivered our first 2016 C Class in Designo Cardinal Red Metallic. I love this color as a whole. However, it truly looks amazing on the 205. There are a total of 36 Cardinal Red C63's on order in the US at this time. I may have to order one for inventory. Thoughts?

Wow JP thx,

I have a Mars red widebody coupe now, do you think, after seeing the Cardinal Red, it will look different enough for my next coupe or will most think I'm in the same red loud car??
Thx again for all you add to this forum,
Ep

Cardinal Red has orange in the paint; it's quite beautiful. Mars Red is "in your face" red. Cardinal is more subdued.

Damn that is a great color. Lots of pop but with a high level of refinement that fits the Merc demographic. Really, really attractive.

No, it is red with a tint of orange in the paint. Only at certain angles does it show the orange. It's a beautiful color.

I love it. The color is so different. I just ordered for inventory a Cardinal Red with Designo Light Brown, NSP & 19" Cross Black AMG Wheels. Can't wait for that guy to arrive!

i got mine on Friday.

"There are a total of 36 Cardinal Red C63's on order in the US at this time."

Should I take this to mean that only 36 were ordered and shipped to the US?

Seen it in real life - looks much better than any of the pics on this or other threads, it's darker and deeper than what it looks like there so the pics do not do it full justice

Definitely would recommend it to anyone else, it has become my 2nd favourite colour for the new 205 series C Class

No shipping to the US on this car as they are made in Nance AL.
Of course the engine and trans are shipped from Germany.
