Talking She's here !!

Finally - she arrived ! Ordered on June 8th, delivered on November 12th. Price was $50K - out the door with registration, insurance and etc. is a bit less than $52K. It was night so the pictures didn't come out right but I'm posting one anyways - Hopefully I'll take better ones in the sunshine.

The pic is huge and its at http://muhri.net/w211_amg.jpg

This was taken at the dealership while I was still negotiating the price - this shows the wood wheel - my brother sitting in the driver's seat

Color?

I thought it was platinum blue. The only other blue available is Wedgewood blue. You have mentioned a color that is not available in the USA I think. Elaborate.

That is platinum blue, except in other countries it's called tealite blue... Looks very nice with AMG exterior.

You have one of my new favorite color combos. I never would have considered that, but it sure looks great.

It also confirms my belief that the sport package (avant garde trim), bar none, is the best option. It's only $1300 and you receive tons of extras. A bargain by MB standards.

Pacific Blue interior?

Is your interior Pacific blue equivalent for USA? I have never seen a car with this interior. Wonder why? (out of over 50 new E that I have seen)

This is platinum blue (Tealite blue) Its available in the US.. Don't judge anything from the picture at night. I'll take better pics and you'll see that it is for a fact that color. THe reason I chose this color is the fact that its a different color with every sun state or shade. This morning it had a greyish color to it for e.g.

More pics to come soon.

No - my interior is Anthracite (Charcoal equiv.) - I myself haven't seen the pacific blue either.
