After seeing the MB print ads i too like the blue now. Hopefully I still like my pewter as much when it arrives but I'm thinking I'll be feeling blue!

Barney, believe me you will not be disappointed with Platinum Blue. So far it's the only new E that I know of in Brooklyn and it's a head turner.

Wedgewood isn't that great of a color. I think it would be suited more for a female driver rather than a male. White color is ok, but it's just too plain and can get dirty very easily. Silver colors are too common these days so the only choice of a stand-out colors would be either platinum blue or pewter.

Rayscar,

One of my local dealers has 2 cars in Pewter and they both look great too - very sharp. I haven't seen a new E in Brilliant Silver - it is generally a great color but I was looking for something a bit newer and less common. My other car (ML) is Dessert Silver and that is too similar to the Pewter for me - want some variety.

Oh and to clear something up on Wedgewood color:
The one that you see on mbusa listed as Wedgewood is really Ice Blue which is also listed under the SL500. The Platinum Blue that you see on the new E on the site is actually the Wedgewood. It's more of a green+blue mix. They made a small mistake and haven't updated the colors yet.

well if you use zaino, on white or wedgewood, it would look a lot better, if anyone has seen a white c, or s class, im pretty sure you would say it was maybe the best benz youve seen....cleaning your car is most important, doesnt matter what color

hey mack, you wanna post some more of those pictures or do i gotta break your kneecaps?

If I get the e500 as opposed to the CLK cab, I'm definetly getting plat blue.

On a different note, anyone know what the insurance would be for an 18 year old with an e500 maxed options?
