I drove an S5 yesterday, and am placing the order Saturday. It is truly an outstanding car to which no car in its class compares (obviously my opinion). I am getting all of the techno goodies, deep sea blue pearl effect, carbon graphite inserts, and black vs. brown leather-(I can't decide[:@]). My current MB E500 (a piece of crap BTW) is all black inside. I really like the look of all black,but I may want a change. Which do you guys think would look best?

 

change it up dude. is it moretan or is it straight brown?

 

what color you doing the outside?

if you don't know i would like to recommend white... saw a new S8 in white the other day and it looks absolutely stunning... a modern day nogaro perhaps?

i'm kinda of a black interior guy myself though, keep in mind though whatever the outside color is can make or break the interior color, should compliment eachother

 

The leather is called cinnamon brown. Definitely darker than what I would call tan, but not dark.
The paint is Deep Sea Blue Pearl effect. A very dark blue. I agree the all black interior looks great,
but maybe I should go for soemthing different than I already have in my current car.

 

Well, IMO, with the Dark blue, I would go with the brown color. I like the black, but I like the dark cars with brown interiors. It looks sophisticated, but sporty. And I am extremely jealous of you purchasing the car. You better get some pictures up when you get it.

 

If its blue i would go with the brown leather that would be beautiful

 

Thanks guys for the thoughts. Its so hard not to be safe (as black is) but I think I will take your advice. I am due for a change, and I agree that brown with the blue exterior should be a striking combo. You bet I will post some pics when I get it (supposedly it will be available the end of April), but it is good to get through winter before putting a new pretty car on the road.Thanks again.

 

that'll look hot, MUST get pics when she comes in

 

If I waited and ordered one, I would have stayed with Phantom Black, but gone with the Cinnamon Brown leather. ohhh they looked nice on the Phantom Black A8L V12 in my dealers showroom!

 

Black Leather...and in special the Black Recaro "Nappa" seats (so they call it here in the Netherlands.)
