2003 CL55
I think that I will stay with my choice of Black/Charcoal for my Feb build CL55, mostly for a change from my Alabaster White/Java 02 CL. I have enjoyed the Java interior, but it takes more time to keep it looking clean. The black exterior will take more care than the white to keep up than white, but it will look great as long as I can keep the dealer from washing or, worse yet, waxing it. It is truly amazing that MB delivers nearly flawless finishes, but the dealers do more damage in their preparation than a couple of years of careful washing and waxing. Why can't MBUSA train or incent its dealers to handle new cars more carefully? A recent example is our 03 SL that was delivered on an uncovered trailer and was covered with road grim/salt from a snow storm that was mindlessly ground into the windsheild by the delivery driver when he swept it with the temporary windshield wipers and put fine scratches in it.

In my opinion, the only two colors that make the CL stand out from the rest of the CLs are Horizon Blue and Capri Blue. I haven't seen the CL in Pewter yet so I don't know about that one. But from personal observation, alot of people here drive around in CL500's that are either black or silver and you usually don't pay attention to the car as much because just about everyone here drives a silver car or a black one.

Yes, Capri Blue and Midnight Blue are tempting choices and I may still select one of them, but definitely with Java, as I recall that Stone is not available in the CL55. I've had a brilliant silver MB and got bored with it. My Alabaster White CL shows the body contours and wheel cutouts extremely well and is an uncommon color for the CL, but I am just ready for a darker color.
