Ok here are a few in the sunlight. Still not the best pictures, we have so many trees and they cast shadows. I just love how the Palladium looks in the sun though!!!










Wow, my tires really need some dressing! LOL...the winter weather up here is brutal to cars!

It looks GREAT.
Thank you for posting the pictures.
We should get the chrome package as well here all around windows and roof liner as well.
I am really happy we did a great decision instead of white or silver choosing this color.
Congrats on great ride.

Thank you! Ooo..definitely want the chrome package! I am so happy I chose this color too. I was really considering the steel gray, it is such a gorgeous color too, it was just a tad darker than I wanted to keep up with.

I can't wait to see pictures of yours when it comes in!!!

Palladium Silver is an amazing color. I'm surprised at how well it hides dust and dirt.

I agree! Great color and always looks clean (from a distance)

You bet! Just ordered the Weathertech digital fit floor liners for all 3 rows from Dealerfit.com and of course the cool back cover from Canvasback.com

I am so loving this car! (I love the '09 too!, but the new smell is yummy!)

Awesome pictures! If/When MBUSA does take care of this situation with my GL, it will be a hard decision for me to choose between black/palladium. Sigh...

we debated over those 2 colors as well and finally went with palladium as we preferred the lighter color and how it changes in the light. our 08 320 was pewter, liked that as well but no longer offered.

thanks for the pics, looks great. pick mine up early next week. just arrived at the dealer -- after an almost a 4 month wait due to special order which was delayed a few times. could have picked it up this weekend but wanted the rear mudflpas and dealer had to order them, so ratehr than take it back in a few days, just decided to wait until next week. what's a couple more days at this point. but really looking forward to it.

Congrats! I bet you can't wait to pick it up! 4 months is a super long time to wait!! You will have to post pics when you get your new baby home

I too love how it changes color in the light and is over all lighter in color! I really liked the Pewter too!

Yep, I have the rear seat entertainment too! It is a must for kids The newer RSE (newer than '08) is so nice! I like it much better than the one in my '08, the location of the DVD drive is much nicer too, plus the bonus of wireless headsets!
