Custom colors?

Hey guys, debating on taking the plunge ... Frustratingly, the full options list has still not been announced. I have not seen the code for the recaro seats yet or a few other options.

More importantly, I do not see the option for custom colors. I seriously want Diamond white (pearl metallic white), but I have not seen it in the option list yet. It's available on the C for $1500 but nowhere to be found on the CLA.

Anyone order a custom color yet? If so how?

Only white they have is Cirrus White, which is the one they've been showing in Press Releases, I don't recall seeing any other White.

And for the Recaro, are you talking about the Black MB-Tex w/Dinamica? If so, there's no code for that.

Full order guide is not available yet as production does not begin until November and a lot can change between now and then. I am almost 100% sure Diamond White will not be on the CLA, they may update the system again, but they re-aligned the packages in the ordering system and it seems to be close to final and there is no Diamond White. Also the color code for Cirrus White is the same as the old Arctic White on the C class, 650.

Can't you order custom colors for an extra fee? Most auto makers do this new.

The recaro sport seats are optional, they are not base. That has nothing to do with MBtex or leather, it's the actual seat itself that is different. Still no option on this yet

I have had a few clients ask for this and the answer from M-B has been no on every request. The reasons vary but they seem to not want to do this.

MB probably isn't willing to give the CLA CL/CLS/SL/S/SLS special colors because it would not make those colors exclusive anymore for the higher spectrum. This is my opinion of course.

Anything is possible if you want to pay for it.
