Ordering 2008 G55 NEED HELP

Ok, I have a Super Charged Silver Ranger Rover and I'm sick of it. It's way too boring. I had a 2005 G55 Grand Edition awhile back and I want to go back to the G55.

Already, I have a 2007 GL450 and a 2007 S65 that has Renntech Engine modifications.

I'm ordering a G55 and I need help on color combos.

Designo Charcoal Nappa Leather
Designo Corteccia Nappa Leather
Designo Lgt Brown Nappa Leather
Designo Porcelain Nappa Leather


Ok... I know what charcoal is, but WTF are all these other colors?

Where do I find pictures of them online?

Designo Charcoal Nappa Leather ... Black Gray
Designo Corteccia Nappa Leather ... Dark Gray
Designo Lgt Brown Nappa Leather ... Reddish Light Brown
Designo Porcelain Nappa Leather ... Tan (Textured)

Knowing how fast you trade cars ... get the 'White/Porcelain' and sell it to me when you get bored

It won't be 'white on white'. It is White on light Tan ... and the light Tan will only be the seats and inserts

HAHA! Yes, I do trade cars a lot. REALISTICALLY, I don't see myself getting rid of the G55 of 3-4 years. I don't like any other sport utility out there right now....

Also, I don't know if you guys saw the article on AOL.COM in the cars section, but it said the G55 was the 8th most expensive car to own. On top of that it was the number 1 luxury car for highest re-sale value!! Kind of interesting I thought... Also, S-CLASS was number 2 most expensive auto to own.

I know the G55 is something you keep for awhile because there so rare and there hard to get too. I got lucky with mine. One day I brought my SL to be serviced and at the time I just bought a tectile grey G500 4 months before and I saw leaving the lot after dropping the SL off and I saw a Silver G55 in the back of the building and i went around and I was like sh*t theres a G55 AMG and at the time i never seen one before and the next day I brought my G500 and traded it in. I guess some guy ordered the G55 and backed out on it at the last minute so i was lucky. If I was going to get another one i would get white on black i think....the black on black is too common for me and hard to keep clean my SL is black and its a pain in the *** to keep clean.
