2017 Mercedes C43
Is Palladium Silver still available for the C450?
I went to the mbusa.com website to build a C450 and noticed that Palladium Silver is no longer listed as an available color. Was there some announcement?
I'm looking to jump from my E90 BMW to a C43 (as soon as I can order one) and on a whim did another build and saw the color missing. The last time I did the online build was about a month ago and Palladium Silver was available. I test drove a C450 a few weeks ago and made up my mind to pull the trigger, but I'm waiting for the badge naming change for 2017.

I must be unique in that I can handle and do have Palladium Silver. I should change my Avatar to something befitting my uniqueness! LOL

This is something I feel MB should make more plain in the special complimentary Nappa leather bound owners manual that comes with the Palladium cars.

I have zero stake in whether they keep it or not, since my car has already been painted and what not. Now if MB shows up at my house and tries to paint my Palladium a different color because the old color is discontinued, then I'm gonna be pretty pissed. Also I heard Iridium is being renamed "Liberace Silver", so there.

Ramping up for 2017 production. Anyone seen a 2017 order guide with the new colors?
Checked with my rep. Selenite Gray is new for 2017. That was the color I was thinking of, not Tenorite. It's replacing Palladium. Looks like it splits the difference between Palladium and Tenorite. Less gold.

Tenorite (Steel) Grey will have to do on my C450 though! I guess the hint of blue undertone makes it a bit less boring.
