Colour dilemma - Polar white with red leather vs Red with black

Hey guys looking at available inventory for cars with Drivers Package and dark ash trim; there are two cars at one of the dealers here in Ottawa One Polar White with the red interior and the other Red with the black AMG leather. Both have the multi-spoke titanium grey rims (prefer the two tone look but can live with them)

To be honest, I was not even going to think of getting the designo red until I say it person. Much more subtle and rich than I was expecting. Don't know if the red will get me out of many speeding tickets however!

I like the look of the red interior very classy but worked I will tire of it after a while.

Thoughts which should I choose, flash on the inside or flash on the outside.

I took delivery of a Polar White C43 with Cranberry Leather interior and really like the look

Color/Color Combos were not high on my list of must haves or wont takes. I'm very happy with what I ended up with

The only "firm" parameters I had relating to color was no red (sorry) or blue. I didn't really want black because it seems everyone has black but would have taken the black with the upgraded paint. I thought I wanted the Diamond White if I went with white, but the Polar white looks great

Although I didn't need it, the car came with 2 different carbon fiber options, one includes the rear view mirrors & spoiler, the other is the console (the interior doors have polished aluminum inserts)

Edit: I did require the car had Leather interior, mine has the basic ~1,620 upgrade

Just saw a Polar white - cranberry red interior w/dark ash with the nigh package and two tone rims - I must say... this might be the best alternative to the brilliant blue. The black with night package looked pretty sic as well. amazing how much difference some subtle black highlights make against the white instead of the chrome


The cranberry interior is growing on me. especially with the dark ash trim. no actual pics but this is what it would look like....leaning the white/ cranberry interior at the moment.

I really like the red interior. Just ordered a Selenite Gray Cabriolet with red interior and red top. Should be ready in May. I considered Brilliant Blue with Blue top and porcelain interior, but the red interior drove me toward the gray.

Can't go wrong with the Polar White either, they look great with the red interior.

White with red would be my pick between the two.

I'm debating between Polar White with night package and Cranberry, or Black with Cranberry. Both look really nice.

My current car is white so I'm kind of looking for a change, but the white with night package just looks so good. If I had to choose today that would be my pick.

If you are looking for a change from white, consider Cardinal Red....it is awesome. It's not a ticket magnet like a Ferrari red.

i would go with the white/red than the red/black. Unless, its the red with designo saddle brown w/ the amg perf seats... Then, you'll be flash on the outside and flash in the inside... but, of course thats just me being biased, hahaha!

In my humble opinion, red is the best color.

When you match it with the black night package, it looks soooooooooo nice.

This is the one I bought. Also, coupes are all made in Germany.

I would personally opt for the polar white with cranberry leather. The cardinal red is definitely more 'rare' but I love the look of the polar white in this car. If you are really feeling bold...try getting your hands on a Magno Selenite Grey

That is one gorgeous ride! The thing with the red is I just don't see myself in it. guess I am not cool enough. The white with night package and the black panoramic roof? now that I can see myself in.

Anyway as long as it has the performance exhaust and the dark ash trim i'll be fine w/ any colour combo

Thanks!
Oh yes, i can understand the way you feel. You definitely have to feel comfortable no matter what color combo you pull up in... its the same way I feel about a ferrari and a lamborghini (if i ever get lucky enough to even have that problem of choice) i just don't feel I have the "pedigree" to be in a ferrari.

Looks like the two tone rim to me? I like it, and the black picks up the window trim. I have to go tomorrow to sign the papers, end of month sales ya know...Mark Stone just picked his C63 S up!

Sold! Leased the Polar white w/ Cranberry interior and night package! was able to get a pretty good deal but that deal was basically eaten by the cost to buy my Lexus out of the lease. Anyway hope to drive off the lot on Saturday! Feel pretty good, but a little drained from the whole experience. This is why I will use a broker next time. Also a little nervous... this will be first time leasing a car that expensive.

Thought it smart to get the prepaid maintenance for $800 seemed like a no brainer. also got he lease protection package... will see if that will be worth it. Having seen how much I would have paid when I turned in my lexus, I imagine it was. Still a lot of up front cost.
