Red on a Merc looks awful !! Spotted one the other day it just looks soooo ordinary

As I said it depends on your own taste, I had one in imperial red for 14 years it still shines on the driveway envy of my neighbours.

It unlikely a funeral car in red.

Shocked to see a funeral car in silver, last year.

I dont know what that beige quoted looks like but there's a new c class at work that looks fantastic and its a sort of off white tan.
A white that looks cool but not so sparkling white as simon cowls teeth that look artificial

Just had a look on that link. The colour was Pearl beige metallic.
Very nice.

Being based in SA I'd want a pale colour and interior to keep the car cool. Black is a big no, as is a dark grey.

Silver is a classic MB colour and IMHO very classy, I'd go with that. Pano roof is nice enough, but they eat into the head room.

Mine's white, 20 years old now, hard used, and apparently has a number of admirers in the village who remark to one another on how good it looks for its age... They even tick me off for the mess in the back.

I'd happily go for white again, and despite all the mud and muck I drive through. The rain soon cleans it off for me. ;)

Only thing with white is it does show up the key marks.

Palladium Silver, no contest. Goes great with a grey interior and Panorama roof.

Palladium Silver for me. Silver is Mercedes' traditional racing colour. Will never go out of fashion on a Merc for that reason no matter what the current motoring "fashionista" are saying this year.

Beige !!!! Arrrggghh horrible. imho that is, but then thats me.As far as I am concerned there are only 3 colours that a Merc can be, in this order:
1 Silver
2 Black
3 White

I suppose you could always have Red and pretend you are driving a Ferrari or Mini.

When I looked at the S-class, you can get brown. Who in the world want a brown car? The German are funny sometimes.:rolleyes:

Maybe they thought it chocolate, slurp.
