Okay so here is the S580 Spec I am considering, this is a 2023 build obviously...but if I order this it would be a 24:



Have flirted with some different interior options, but I think I will stick with black.

Interior will be this spec, but with the 4D Burmester it will have the metal tweeters in the upper doors:



Colors, I want something other than white or silver this time, deciding between Graphite Grey:



Lunar blue:



Emerald green:



Or rubelite red:



I'm leaning towards the lunar blue, the Pacifica is a similar color but its going so thats not an issue...

Whats everybody think?

 

Love it, I would go with the grey. Grey looks BEAUTIFUL on expensive cars.

Really like the interior setup/scheme.

 

I'm not sure what image says success for your kind of business.

But, how about black?

Diplomat, executive, men in black lol

 

Only issue is I have had a lot of grey, silver, white. My 15 LS460 was a very similar grey. I think I want something a little different. The lunar blue is still very neutral:



Another question, what do you think of those wheels on the above car? Those are the 19s which I would lean to for the ride quality, but the 20s shown above in the other cars are better looking,,,

 

I'm still yet to warm up to the S Class. Especially the interior. I fully concede that they are class leaders and great cars, but they still don't do anything for me. I do like the Emerald Green color, though.

 

I would love black, but its way too much work, and everybody has black

 

The console/dash strongly reminds me of the former generation of the Toyota Avalon, and its ski-jump design. I suspect, but can't prove, that's where the Mercedes stylists got the idea.

 

I highly doubt that MB copied the Avalon lol, but I agree with the similarity. I don't love the layout of the interior as much as I do the one I have but it is what it is.

 

One thing about the interior, the active ambient lighting is visible in the daylight, so that brings some color to the all black interior, and these are the Burmester 4D tweeters mine would have:

 

The Avalon was the best ever Buick GM couldn’t make The interiors look very similar

 

Since you raised the question in public, your call, but IMO there are too many gray cars on the road. Of the colors you posted, I'd go with the Emerald Green.....that is beautiful. The Ruby Red also gets an Honorable Mention.

 

I love silver and gray cars, I have just had a lot of them and I've never ordered a car before so I really have never been picky about colors. The ruby is beautiful, very similar to my old ES300. Green is a polarizing color though, so is burgundy, dark blue is more neutral...

 

I can understand where you are coming from on that one. I feel the same way about the new 2024 Encore GX....its new dash is IMO a letdown from the previous one.

 

Dark green has been popular in Europe for many years, but has never really caught on in the U.S. Olive green was popular here in the early 70s, but it looked dull and ugly compared to that beautiful Emerald Green you posted.

 

There for a while in the 90s it was popular on American luxury cars. Cadillac actually had two dark greens, and Lincoln had a nice dark green you saw a lot.

The ambient lighting in these is next level lol
