HELP! CL 63 order

Hey guys, I need to finalize my order tomorrow on a CL 63. I'm still uncertain on color combination; definitely want to stay away from black interior (too hot in south Louisiana) and would prefer savanna/cashmere over grey interior. Was thinking of titanium grey, but now that decision time is here???
The pics. I've seen pretty much all show iridium silver I think, but I can't see silver/cashmere combo.
Any thoughts are appreciated, especially if you've seen or own titanium grey.
Thanks

Haven't yet, as far as I know MSRP for U.S. isn't out yet. I'm hoping a little under the CL600 though.

Designo is not an option at this time. I agree, designo is sweet, I've got it on my S550. I think those pics are from the launch edition, very nice!

I saw a titanium grey CL63 at the Stuttgart Mercedes Center this past winter. Great color, but I doubt it would look good with the savanna/cashmere interior. They had it with the Cognak interior and Black Ash wood, and it was absolutely stunning.

By the way, those interior shots are a European Designo, but I doubt it will be available here because that was the interior package on the CL600 Saks 5th Ave edition, and it was promised that that interior would not be available on any cars but those limited few (in the US).

Have a deposit for the 2008 CL63 but my salesperson has not received any ordering info as of today. Will go with Artic White/Charcoal Interior. Understand there is going to be an option for 20" wheels. Probably will go with factory chromes. Wife will drive the new Cl63 and I will drive the old "hand-me-down" 2006 CLS55. When I get the old CLS will put new rims on that bugger


Happy Motoring

Guys, thanks for the input. After spending a while with my dealer this morning, I've decided to wait for the (hopeful) release of the designo option on the 63. According to MBUSA, they anticipate it's relase 5-6 months after the initial 63's, so hopefully before year's end. Just couldn't see buying this car and not LOVING the interior as much as the exterior/ driving experience. Also, give some time for any unexpected kinks to get worked out. Thanks again.

Correct, this was the Launch Edition equipped CL500 (European).

It looks and feels like a million $$$
