Not too late to change options what color interior should i get?
I have ordered a obsidian black/black interior SLK350
and i am changing the metallic black to regular black
the interior i am considering red/black then the regular black which i ordered
but im a lil nervous that the red/black combo might look a lil more feminine...
hmm ..?

Why did you change it from Obsidian ? It looks quite nice, especially in the sun.
As for the interior - where do you live? The SLK350 usually doesn't come in duo-tone leather, only single (black, blue, beige, red or ash) - meaning the seats are always monotone, but the door inserts and upper dash are either your chosen colour or black (depending on the option).
The seats are only duo-tone in the SLK55 (Black, Beige, Red/Black, Black/Ash)
As for feminine - I personally wouldn't get the red on black (on the 350, that would be, seats all red, door inserts etc. black) but I actually don't think it's that feminie - it's a fairly dark red !
Best,
Dan

I prefer the cleanliness of a nice black..my current C240 has metallic
and im kinda bored of the color.
I think ill be safe and keep the black interior..resale proboly better too anyways.
thanks

I saw a Obsidian Black 350 at my dealer here in Orlando (MB of South Orlando) and it did not look as exciting as the Iridium Silver one I saw in Tampa. You could see finger prints, tire shine on the side doors, etc. Very dirty after just minutes of driving.
