Mercedes came in typically two colors for many years starting out; black and silver. I asked the same thing since I didn't want silver or black (I buy used). Now days, according to the dealers, the most common requested color is black (approx 55%) followed by silver (20%). I guess many people feel it isn't a Mercedes with the other colors. Thus my choice was very limited ... I wanted a stick which made it 3 months before I could find one in perfect shape ... so silver it was. John
I saw this model with the newer body style and I had to park next to it to size it up. It is a little lower profile, a little faster off the line, a little better suspension and has a little more trunk space when the top is down. Although this shot doesn't show it, my windshield is bigger, my seats are wider, mine is roomier, my stick is 5 instead of 6 speed and I put in a controller to open the top from the remote (a big hot Texas sun feature). To me (a big guy), sometimes squarer compared to stylish is better. JV, I got a picture of my car in. John
