Who cares about anything lol, a black S-Class is just something to behold. I couldn't possibly have any other color for that car.

That is an interesting take, though I get it.

Nothing could deter me from a black S-Class. WITHOUT QUESTION it would be black.
Oh yeah, you see them all over town headed to airports etc. Hotels have them. I was at a funeral a few months ago and their family car was a black S Class. In NYC you see them all over the place too.

Black is also just too hard to take care of.

Emerald Green is a rarely chosen color but very nice!!
Years ago, I saw a previous gen. S65 V12TT Coupe in that colour, it was Gorgeous !!

I care lol. $6,500 is a lot of good options. Same price as the 4D audio, which I would rather have

Yeah I wanted Nautical Blue, Emerald Green or Rubellite Red, but this selenite car I have is the perfect spec and this spec is almost impossible to find, exclusive nappa interior without the HUD or the 3D display.

I love it! Lexus has Nori Green Pearl which is very similar looking.

If Lexus made the IS 500 in NGP I would trade my car in. That's how much I like that shade of green.

I'd just take black and then use that $6500 for other options.

Black is awesome when it's clean, awful when it's not. If I could own a black car that didn't show swirls and dust, I would always have one.

Dude that thing looks so good. Whoever owns it took great care of it.

I don't know what a Typhoon goes for on BaT. In that condition maybe $20k?
