Just feast your eyes upon this piece of art - spec'd exactly as I would do it. Literally, I want to meet the first owner. He must be my long-lost twin.

Dolomite Brown might be one of the best current Mercedes-Benz colors.

I want this car.

WANT, except for the interior... I hate quilted leather

I knew this day would come. We finally disagree on something. Im sorry, but this is hideous. If you are going to pay for designo anything, and you come up with dolomite brown over tan leather, you need your head checked. This car clashes so severely. The black rims? Really? Ugh, this is ugly. Plain and simple. If anything, it should be cuprite brown metallic over terra-cotta leather with granite trim.

HELL NO, I'd buy it and just redo the interior

The brake pedal seems unnecessarily large.

I don't know if we can be friends any more. I have the world's biggest hard on for quilted leather interiors, one of the reasons i love the rs7 so much.

Wait... we're freinds? Quilted leather is too cushy for me, it makes me uncomfortable

I think I'm the only one that thinks this, but I think the current SL is ugly.

Oh man, I really like it. I know lots of people hate it but I love the way it looks.

That would be a good choice as well.

Hahaha damn. I really love it but that's just me. All of these colors are normal options, Dolomite is for sure. It's a lot of brown, but I like it. Also, I have to say I love the black with it. Not to worry I still like normal colors like white over red haha

I used to hate it but I think that's because everyone used to do a shitty job of it and the only place you saw it was in cars trying to pretend to be luxury. I really like this.

You're right about the black rims. Black rims are always ghetto and tasteless.

You're completely 100% wrong about the interior/exterior combo. Maybe Dolomite Brown isn't the most flattering brown paint, but don't you dare suggest that brown and tan don't complement each other. They just work perfectly together.

Sorry about that. Mobile Kinja is not my specialty.

Mobile Kinja isn't anyone's specialty, to be fair. It exists only to make your life hell.

Always liked the SL, this one is no exception.
