designo options
Its a shame, how limited our choices are for colours and interiors here in the US for the s class model line. I guess MB takes us for granted considering the plethora of incredible colours and options available in other parts of the world. Check out some of the options at MB Malta for example, I would love to be able to chose some of these colours and especially the interior options for my next s class. Is it a matter of complacency?, knowing they will always sell an allocated amount here. I, for one am very disapointed and hope that MB will change their policy and offer more choices to MB s class consumers in the US.

Is it even possible to custom order one through a dealer? Say I would like to have the optional small fridge that goes behind the rear center armrest would that be a possibility even if I pay the car in full at the time the order is placed? BMW at least have the "partial" individual program for US 7 series..

Trumpet is right; can't forget that US has world's cheapest cars and leases (and ?60% of MBs in US are leased, so odd bespoke color choices become problem of MB Financial at end of lease)
Designo is interesting but means nothing without properly finished leather/Alcantara/cf/wood throughout like 600 or 65....and without perf brakes/tires/chassis/tq/sports steering wheel/sports seats/advcd safety systems of 65 just becomes a fancy man/transgender-purse of a car, like a Ferrari or Bent

You might want to grab a paint code and put in a special order, the worst that can happen is they deny the request. There are paint options that aren't listed but are available, such as the Alubeam paint...that runs a cool $10k on S and CL AMG models. The color will also be available on the new SLS along with two matte finish colors.
If your a fan of American Chopper the Alubeam color will look familiar, thats the color they "attempted" to pain the AMG theme bike. They visited the AMG factory, saw a car there painted in Alubeam, asked for some of the paint to paint their bike....and got refused ha ha.

I feel like an idiot now
Last night I didn't see the maybach (knew it of course) in your post but I did see the SLS , and yes, I had seen it before but forgot.
I kinda like that SLS. A large collection of several MB car designs with a few jap car touches in there too. This car is kind of like looking at clouds and trying to see various faces and animals in it.
The front fenders and headlights look a little like Nissan 350Z. The grille looks like a 50s Gullwing, the side panel looks like a combo of an SLK and a BMW Z roadster,
