Congratulations on your new car, we the forum members have been liking the new palladium grey. I assume its going to be one of the most desirable SLK colours and the best looking with the red interior.

Very Nice. My next dream. Is Palladium Grey a new color or is it what is called Pewter in the USA?

No, thats another colour. The one you are referring to has a nice gold and slight grey hue which is the one on etyu's SLK55.

Thank you for the replies ! Will post detailed and better pictures next week, if you have any requests, feel free ! Can't wait to try that new engine, with the 6MT it must be awesome !

I had a 350 7Gtronic from 2004 to 2006, so I'll be able to slightly compare them
