Interior Color Suggestion
I'm buying a ML350 Black exterior. I have options for either a black interior or almond/mocha. Looking for suggestions. I was going for black b/c I felt that almond would stay dirty, but thoughts?
Thanks for your opinion.

Black. It looks more premium. We have both Black Syntec and Black Designo. Both are great.

ML 350 Bluetech 2013 Loving it!
Most definitely go for Almond/Mocha... I have had black is is usual and standard nothing posh about it. Lighter colors are more classy. I have had this for 2 years no issues with getting dirty.

Ditto. Plus the contrast between your exterior and interior will be stunning. Light interiors are cooler too. No trouble keeping them clean, but you will never have to clean the black interior. I find an all black car feels like a cave... but nobody does black like MB.

I have black on black and it looks great to me. It has the stitching in white so it's a nice contrast. You can't go wrong w either.
As far as not having to clean black that is not true. I have to wipe mine down because the kids step on the seats to get into their car seats and they also put their shoes on the back of the driver and passenger seats. However, it does clean easy. My previous car, not mb, had a nice beige leather interior and that was hard to keep clean. The brown might not be so bad. GL.

Depends on your kid situation. My kids destroyed the backs of the front seats when I had lighter colors. Switching to black has served me well but my kids are also teenagers now. Everything stays much cleaner when their feet can touch the floor.
This time around, at the suggestion of the members here, I also went with black headliner and wrapped dash. Looks awesome

When I had lighter interior (Lincoln Aviator) the leather absorbed the dye in my blue jeans, so after that I always go for black (or at least dark) interior.
Probably not as much of an issue with jeans that have been washed a few times, but be careful with brand new jeans.
