CL-550 AMG - What are the best colors?

NEILX · 07-29-2009, 03:27 AM

I will be buying a 2008 CL-550 with the AMG package and I can't decide which color to get! Capri Blue, Iridium Silver, or the Barolo Red..

Any thoughts?

Capri Blue

Capri Blue is the nicest, but hardest to keep clean, Red is attention grabbing and Everyone has silver. I would get white, I love white, but between your 3 choices, I would get the red. TC

i would pick barolo red. More unique and rare... plus looks amazing.

Blue is always classy and elegant, never out of style.

I like black, but it easily reveals stone chips and scratches and will be hard to maintain. As for white, i'll leave that color for the asian guys.

Like a tuxedo, Mercedes Benz' come in colors other than blacks but why would you buy them? Just a thought

Black, however, some of the first tuxedos were dark blue/navy.
