Bordeaux Red E55?

I know someone on this forum ordered one some time ago. He promised to post pictures but never did, at least to my knowledge. I'm dying to see how this car looks in bordeaux, since I'm ordering one within a week. If not this, then I'm going with Tecite grey.

I drive a E55T, SLK55 and 65 Mustang Conv.
I keep looking at this hoping someone posted a picture as I "think" I am going to order my E55 wagon is Bordeaux red. I am hoping to be able to see a car in this color while in Las Vegas this weekend. If I do I'll take photo's.

Just confirmed there are no KNEW cars in Bordeaux in Las Vegas but there are a couple of older ones. Still want me to take photo's for the color? not even sure if they'll be E class cars.

A SL55 delivered 8/18/07, and an E55 wagon delivered 5/11/05
Here are some photo's but they really don't show how nice the car really looks. Also, it was nasty in Las Vegas so there was not a lot of sun in the photo's. The S is brand new and the C is a 2001 C320. I have more photo's if you want to see them let me know by PM.

I saw an E320 or E500 roaming around in San Clemente that was Bordeaux Red, and I must say that it was stunning. Im sure the E55 will look much better in this color. I too am glad that I made the decision to get the Bordeaux red for my E350.

Clk 500

Test drove a CLK 500 with the white (tan) interior and the top down! Wow! Throw on some chrome rims and . . . Unfortunately, my wife and I BOTH use our cup holders and the CLK only has one. Otherwise would have bought it on the spot!

You didn't buy a car because it had 1 cup holder instead of 2? A $50k one at that?

Jesus... you do know aftermarket cupholders are available in a variety of configurations and only cost like $10, right?

Wait, maybe that's the answer for a different question.

I know what you mean about the ONE cupholder. I almost had closed the deal on a CLK 55, with everything, but parktronic, then noticed the number of cupholders. I then decided that I needed more room. Now you know the rest of the story.

Hi there,
I can totally 100% understand that. When you buy a car you want it to be comfortable and if there is something you KNOW is not going to be right for you look elsewhere. A fatal flaw to someone is fatal be itat a cost of $10 or $10,000. Like what you drive!
Kim - who decided to get a color others say not to because when it's said and done I'm the one the car has to please.
