color combo ?? 2013 E
Hi,
getting ready to order 2013 E 350 Wagon. Spec'd out 2012 with Arctic White and Natural Beige leather but Arctic White dropped for 2013. The new Polar White is likely more pure/appliance white---I much prefer off whites. Sport Wagon so dash/headliner/carpet etc are all black
No dealer here has/gets any Natural Beige leather interior so cannot view. I've been told it is saddle or basketball color.
After White, next fav color is Iridium Silver. Any comments on how that would look with Nat Beige leather interior??? I suppose Burlwood as dealers never get any Black Ash wood to see in person. I'd say white ext would be a much better combo with nat beige lthr but would this work??
I'm not a fan of the almond or grey int--both too light colored for me. Irid silver and black int is an option but then the int is almost all black--not sure about that.
Appreciate any comments/ suggestions from those with an eye for color combos. Thanks

S212 2011 Wagon and Wife's 2014 C350 sedan.
When I was looking for a new wagon, I could not find an Arctic White/natural leather anywhere. The dealers only had black or beige MB Tex.
I ordered the Arctic White and natural leather and could not be happier.
After one and a half years I have yet to see the same color combo and always get compliments on the leather smell and color.
The order took a little longer but I will have the exact car I want.
Order it and enjoy it when it arrives.

Exterior color:
It is cool ,one of the nicest one you could find
Interior :
I only prefer black or dark grey other than that I don't like light colored interiors but yours is two tone interior and they still look fine
Your wood trim should be polished piano black as well

One thing the sales people don't tell you, is that usually, there are special order upgrades for trim, seats,car color,etc.,...you pay one fee for the order, no matter how many upgrades....ask the to research this for you...

They were probably quoting E Hybrid HP which the official 2013 MB computer build page does show a Hybrid, but only as a Sedan.It does seem like solid info that Arctic White will go away and Polar White wil replace it.
Last info from dealer was that 2013 E Wagons first production run will be July with Aug delivery in US but will get an update later this week. Last 2012 wagons will be June build with July delivery.
I'll post any new info and hope others do likewise. JCG-I'm in MN, where are you?

Natural Beige is not the color of any basketball I've ever seen. It is a butterscotch color. It looks great with white, black, or dark grey. It would look terrible with Iridium Silver or Palladium Silver.
Steel Grey with Natural Beige is quite well received up here (E Coupe/Cabrio especially), with dark ash wood.

Get the pano roof! It will look incredible on a white or silver car. I think you will have better resale value with a silver car but get the color you want. I'd personally go for silver + pano roof.

A special order example from the ML350 is a heated steering wheel (standard in Canada), or on the E-Class, the special leather colors (natural beige, brown).

Doesn't really apply in Canada. In the US, there is a "Special Order" list where customers pay $250 as an admin fee and they can order from a list of "special" that are generally either standard or optional in Canada.
