That color is VERY nice. And Switzerland... Wow, you lucky dog, you.

Are the roads nice around you? Can you take nice drives through the Alps in your SL? I envy you so much...

Congrats on your new car!

yes switzerland is beautiful to drive around - the roads are free of charge and free of traffic to boot ! the scenery is stunning. butttttt i have just bought a house in nearby france near the Mont Blanc mountain range and its even better to drive there ! no coppers and no radars on country roads that go on forever ! heaven !

That color is Diamond Silver in the US. I have seen an SL55 in that color. It's not a designo car here though.

i just dont get it - the colours that my car have been called are as follows :-

horizon blue
diamon silver
tellure silver

but in truth its more blue than silver...

chalcedony blue is the name in europe - doesnt it exist as that name in the US/UK ?

No, at leats, that color is not anywhere on the mbusa.com.

I'm almost positive its Diamond silver in the US, and its not designo.
