Well guys, I placed an order for my c63 amg already, but before the allocation is confirmed, I still got time to change my exterior color.

I've originally decide on Tenorite Grey Metallic... but now im kinda lost between these 2 colors.

IMO, Black looks more aggressive (But it kinda hides some of lines of the car)
, Tenorite Grey looks classy and its more of a rare colour (On c-classes - BUT ITS NICE)

So..... here it is..
Which ever color wins in this poll will be my color of choice.
I'm pretty indifferent between the two colors.
If you could state why you chose the color, it will be a great input for me.

I know the pics of the obsidian black are of better quality, but dont let it cloud your judgement

Obsidan Black

Tenorite Grey[/b]

I'd go with black, even though it's a bitch to keep clean. It just looks more sporty and aggressive for that model.

I like black a lot, but since the grey will make your car stand apart from the others I would choose grey.

Black is, by far, the best color for MB IMHO. Yes black is a PITA to keep clean but the grey you like is pretty dark and will show dirt (not like silver).

Congrats on the C63. What a total rocket!!
