It looks good, but not that good.... I dunno why? Maybe the contrast?

Is this an aftermarket offering? Or is it an OEM option?

That looks incredibly elegant, but I couldn't see myself driving in that every day.

Feels like a tuxedo. I want more of a crisp business suit.

It's a "designo" package. It's something MB offers as a factory option. I'm not much a fan of this one. I've seen a designo option that was like this but had this silver leather rather than the white. The leather looks as if it had silver paint flakes in it.

Either way, I love the new W221.

I'd rather have it with a black exterior and that interior............That'd make it look better IMO.

Looks like a car Tony Montana would drive if they remade Scarface.

with white leather, it'll get dirty fast and tough to keep it clean.

Exactly what I was going to say. Black interior only for me.

If you have the money to buy that car, you should be able to afford cleaning it.

That's why you pay a detailer to detail it. If you have enough jack to pay for that car, you don't worry about cleaning....you pay someone to keep it clean.

Mystic White Edition...........problem is the option is $11k, but you also have to get the rear seat package and the rear blinds.

So in order to get one of the Designo options, its going to run you just under $15k.

Very nice, but very expensive.

I prefer the Mocha/Espresso Ed.

Also like the wood on the lower portion of the steering wheel. Not just plain wood on the rim, but also on the spokes.

I've never cared for white Benzes or BMWs. It needs to be Gestapo jet black.

Its a 2 tone interior, black and white.

What makes that remotely gaudy (tasteless)?

I wouldn't call it gaudy, but for some reason, I just don't dig it...

I would think someone who could afford that car wouldn't be doing anything that would make them dirty in the first place.

Just have to make sure the servents keep clean.
