Silver or Pewter
Which one to do. Both color's are nice. Interior definitely 2 tone charcoal\gray. Silver shows off lines of the great but the Pewter is the perfect contrast. If we all had to decide, which one would it be?

I would go for Pewter.....Silver is still very nice, but I like change. Pewter looks dark in some photos, where in person its really not that dark (a shade or so darker than Brilliant Silver). Pewter will still be easy to maintain like Silver.
You can't go wrong with either color, but Pewter gets my vote.

an old Z, of course....
320 vs. 500
I have not seen pewter, but I have seen silver in both the 500 and 320. The 500 looks really good in silver with the AMG body, but the 320 looks like it is missing something. I can't wait to see a pewter in person to see if the AMG package makes a difference, and to see if it makes the car look bigger than with black.

For the Florida Keys: Get white or brilliant silver.
Test:
Touch with your palm a 1) white, 2) brilliant silver and a 3) pewter (or a similar dark color) painted MB car after an hour in the S. Florida sun.
White will be the coolest, pewter the hottest!
I live in S. Florida and added a light window tint via the MB sub-contractor.
Stay cooooooooool!
