Everyone knows that Black is the fastest color. They brake better, corner better and ride smoother than any other color E.
It’s a known fact that a black E350 is 2x faster than a white E550 and 1.5x faster than any other color E550.
My E550 is faster than all E63's but the black one.
So forget about the Iridium/Black or Capri/Almond and get Black/Black.

Brilliant silver plus Zaino would have blown away everything but, alas, you can no longer get real silver.

To me, Iridium is actually more "silver", as Brilliant has more gold to it. Unless silver by definition is supposed to be some shades of gold (not sure).
I don't understand why M-B would have EVER done away with the name "Brilliant Silver". It literally defined Mercedes' silver, as they always had the best silvers to me. Once you found out the technical name of the shade, it all made sense, and became all the cooler.
"Iridium Silver" is just a terrible name in comparison.
