need help with color choice ! ! !

i can't decide if i should get a black on black or capri blue with cashmere interior for the ml 450 please help ! So many people have black ml's but i cant decide if the capri blue cheapens it.

Go Capri Blue on Cashmire. I had that on one of my E-Classes and I kept on getting compliments all the time. Really a nice combo.

Not a problem. The car previous to this (also an E-Class) was white on cashmere which was nice but too feminine. Then I got this E-Class which was capri blue on cashmere. I used to own a C-Class which was capri blue on stone so I already knew that I liked the color. My current car is the latest model E-Class and capri blue doesn't look good on it (at least in my eyes) so I got it in Steel Grey; it looks gorgeous !

mmm

if i think this color on a ML...

the exterior is ok but intererior, is too much elegant, not ''aggressive''..i'd prefer gray interior or the ordinary and always looking good black

I agree too. I love the black interior of my ML. I actually had black in the '08 too. Its great and I don't have to worry about staining the carpets like I would with a lighter interior.

The black interior is definately more sporty/agressive then the beige one. Beige is more "softer" and seems more luxorious. It's not that difficult to keep clean either. The stone interior I had in one of my Benzs I didn't like too much. One of my friends has the stone interior in his ML (the first generation) and it didn't age too well.

I was at my dealership the other day and I saw they had a dark silver ML with the beige interior and the car looked absolutely gorgeous. If you were going for the luxury look I would definately recommend to check it out. I know that color combo sounds weird but it looks really good in person.
