HELP...Can't decide color on 05 SL sport package

I am between an 05 in Brilliant Silver and a 05 in Black, both have AMG package.

The Brilliant is not being used on the 06 SL's ?...Is Iridium different..and which has more shine...?

I always buy black...but I like the SL in both.

Also when will we see data on the 07 slight face lift!

Thanks in advance

Go with Brilliant, even though Black is sexy. The lines will show up better with Brilliant. If you always buy Black, go w/ something different. I'm sure you like silver, right?

Black is an amazing color.

Of course I'm biased though.

Black on the SL is awesome. Yes I am prejudiced, since my 55 is black.

Black on the 500 and 600 Models. The AMGs, however, should be silver. That is their color (comparable to how Ferrari has red).

My dad has a black 55 and my jaw drops everytime I see it. Its true that with silver you will see more lines and curves, but black is just badass.

If you are seriously considering silver, go to a lot where you can see both Brilliant Silver and Iridium Silver in daylight -- there is quite abit of difference in the two colors.....
