Question does this color combo suck?

Heads:

thanx for tuning in.....

for an AMG.......
quartz blue metallic/ash&grey/black ash

do these colors sound gnarly or do they sound pleasing?
any suggestions of color scheme under the quartz blue metallic would be interesting and taken into consideration....

comments welcome
thanx..........

Not what I would choose but certainly not gnarly by any means

I think the capri blue would look better on the CLS63... nevertheless, besides this color, all your left with is black, white or some shade of gray, not much to choose from.

I think Quartz Blue, i.e. light blue, is all wrong on an E63...

Based on the chip in the configurator, I thought it would be an option to consider. A local dealer had an E (not E63) in that color, but upon seeing it in person, did not think the color was an attractive fit for the E class. Perhaps it would work better with the E63 due to the sporting nature of the car.

park423: so right......very few colors to choose, LOL.....
don't want another black, or a white.....
the dealer mentioned that color would be hard to resell, and I kind of
agree with him....
I saw one on the lot, (C class I think) in that color and it was nice; different....
but I may end up in a shade of grey somewhere.....

Wig: I am starting to agree with you....a bit dainty huh? It might work for someone...I mean damn....SOMEONE has had to have ordered that color! lol.....

but anyway, thanx for the input...........need a color!

I think my wife's car is quartz blue (c-class). It's light blue anyway. It's a very pretty color, but to my eye very feminine. I don't know how much having it on an E63 will help. I've seen pink racecars and dragsters, but I still always expect a female to be driving one.

Hyperion667:

I also had the urge to get something different color wise when I ordered my E63. That was one of the real benefits of ordering - I didn't have to go with the usual black, silver or white choices (all of which look great, BTW).

So I went with the Quartz Blue fully appreciating that would not be everyone's cup of tea. I have not regretted that choice at all.

Here is a link to some photos of the E63 in Quartz Blue over Almond if you have not already seen them. Hope they are helpful.

No offense taken if you go in a different direction. I think the W212 looks great in just about all of the colors offered. But if you are going to order - I encourage you to get something unique. Otherwise pick one off the dealer's lot. I also liked the Cuprite Brown (also a rare color on the E63) which would have been my second choice.

Good luck on your selection.

Something else to consider, if you're not leasing get a color you like that also has a strong resale value...
