The black windshield frame disappears on a dark car, or a car with a black top...but it is awkward with the light car and colored top. With the Night Package it almost gets away with it, but not quite.
Did nobody get closeups of the black car at the press events??

I have yet to see any good photos of a black SL yet, its mainly been in the back of shots or covered by other vehicles. It appears the majority of press cars were either Sun Yellow, Patagonia Red, Hyper Blue, Alpine Grey, Monza Grey, or Cirrus Silver. Very few shots out there of Moonlight White and Selenite Grey, and especially none of Starling Blue or Obsidian Black.
These photos have an instagram filter on them, this video and the photos posted by Redline Reviews from earlier are closer to the actual shade I would say. Either way, one of the best MB colors in years in my opinion.

Has anyone seen any good pictures of this car in the obsidian black?
There was one Obsidian Black model at the press event, however there's only been two lower-quality shots of the car either in partial camo or obscured in a lineup. I guess MB wanted to show off the brighter colors for the launch.

Thanks. I’ve seen that first picture but not the second one. I’m surprised at how bad it looks in obsidian without anything blacked out on it.

I like the contrast of Obsidian and Chrome especially the wheels, but I'm also someone who really likes accents of chrome on their cars, I'm not a fan of blacking everything out on a car, otherwise I feel it hides design elements too much.

Correct, at the event I believe all the demo cars were lighter to show off the lines (that weren't hidden) in silver, white, and yellow. I'm sure I have pictures buried in my phone.
I don't know where Auto News is based, nor do I know where this car was when the photo was taken. It's a left drive, so this is likely not in the UK.
As far as I know, this color isn't offered in the US. Possibly a one-off custom job?
The information from Auto News is wrong, and the photo is heavily filtered and over-exposed causing it look a lot brighter and more saturated than in reality. That is Monza Grey Magno under some heavy filters.
Here is the color with no filters/adjustments made and natural lighting.
Monza Grey is featured on G-Wagons and the SLS as well.
