What color is your GL?

Thought I'd start a poll to see what colors everyone is getting.

After 1 day, we're still waiting for a pearl beige metallic. Other than that the distribution is pretty spread out. Keep your input coming.

Surprisingly there are 2 cinnabars are a local dealer lot. It's nice to see that other than black and white.

Steel Gray moves into 2nd place behind black.

Everyone knows BLACK is the fastest color!

But is Obsidian faster?

I was considering a black 550 but after looking at two black 550's in the flesh I ordered mine with Diamond White. For me the black sort of hides the AMG mesh grills on the front and rear bumpers. They really pop on a lighter color GL.

Of the two black 550's I saw, one had a black interior and the other the brown Designo interior. I preferred the black interior to the brown Designo.

Just traded my 2012 M-B CLS63 w/P30 option about a month ago for the new 2013 M-B GL550 4matic. Out of the hot rod business. Really liking the GL in obsidian black metallic with beige leather. Was a special order loaded up by another customer who failed to complete the deal. I just got lucky that I wandered into the dealership that day and the GL was available. Miss the CLS63's quickness and braking, but the lifestyle has changed a bit.

Great thread Jim. We should start one for accessories. Be cool to see what people are adding on and where they got them (and how much).

That would be cool, I guess we could just start a sticky thread with a title 'Accessorizing your X166'?

I can't figure out how to modify a poll to add. If anyone knows how, let me know and I'll do it.

Back and Forth on colors

We have the interior nailed down for us but we cant seem to make the call on the exterior.
Black and polar white is what we have been debating on. Weed settle on one color then change in a day or 2.
Ive owned White for the last 15years with tan but don't want tan interior so went with black interior.

Now we saw Diamond Silver Metallic. Has anyone seen that color in person, I haven't, wonder why?

Thanks
