2013 CLS 63 color questions.....

Hi.....I am a new member to MBWorld, but a diehard AMG fan. I am ordering a 2013 CLS 63, and my initial decision to order black seems way too redundant.....considering black looks great, but is very common, and is the color of the last 3 CLS's I have owned (CLS55, CLS63, 2012 CLS 550 4 matic), I thought I would look in new directions. I love Steel gray, but also considered designo Mystic Blue or Zircon Red, to really drive the design home. I am looking for collective wisdom or opinions or photos to help me decide. Thanks for your input.......ToddR

We just had a 2013 come in to our dealer that took the customer a year to order with all the options. It is the Steel Grey with the P30 package and they left the calipers grey after about 6 months of him fighting back and forth with them over it. Car looks awesome!!
Everything inside is leather wrapped except the dash. (for some reason AMG said they would not wrap the dash due to the airbags...even though all the door panels are wrapped) So the customer ordered a leather wrapped dash and I'm going to install it once it arrives from Germany.

Probably better to post this question in the W218 AMG section if you want more feedback. Of the three colors listed, steel grey works well on the new CLS, especially with the red calipers that come with P30.

I may be a little partial, but I say go with the Zircon Red.
