Tenorite gray vs palladium silver

Gents,

I need some help. I'm about to close a deal on a gl500 (550) with the amg kit. But i can't decide which color I want to take. Every time I see either of them, my decision moves to the one I've just seen.
Thing is that I have to close the deal by end of the coming week, and the interior color is fixed and is the same for both of them, dark brown perforated leather.
I'm afraid that the combi with tenorite will be to dark (just seen one today with the designo beige, looks awesome).
With palladium it looks just right, the tenorite looks more sporty.

I hope you understand my dilemma, maybe you guys have a proper input.
Thnx in advance.

i agree tenorite (steel grey in the U.S.) is more sporty. we are on our second GL with steel grey and love it. the aluminum trim and chrome accents and AMG wheels really pop on steel grey.

i actually had an order for palladium and ended up canceling it for steel grey again. sometimes when i see palladium on the road i wish i had gotten that instead - primarily so the black "mesh" on the rear bumper stood out more. but on a cloudy day palladium just looks like a light gray or dark silver to me.

both are great. can't go wrong with either. a few people here have down the auburn leather on steel grey and love the combination.

Well decision was taken away from me, since the tenorite one was sold.
So it will be palladium with the auburn interior. Pics are coming up when I collect the car next week. Still very happy since we got the deal of a lifetime, got it fully loaded for about 23% off. They are selling of all the GL to make space for the GLS.

I would have loved to by a 63. But we will go a bit off-road and there the 500 is better.
Nice car
