Yikes... That sounds gross. Though I have seen a W124 that was forest green with green leather. Don't think I could get past that. Especially when beige or gray goes so much better with dark green.

Mercedes in particular used to be highly customizable. I suspect that it was very expensive to have so many choices which probably explains why these options no longer exist.

Are cloth seats available in Europe on new Mercs still?

Of course they are still available! Leather is an option, even for the S-Class!

SL (only 550 and 600 - not 280 and 350) and CL are the only Mercedes with leather as standard here in germany…leather costs around 1.500 € to 5.000 or 6.000 for the Full leather S-Class interior… …and you can only get them with seat heating! Which costs an additional 350 € or so!

I rather like the blue interiors. I seem to remember a particular white 300TE service wagon that my dad drove around.

Yes I remember those as well, seems all 300TE service wagons were White/Blue.

Back in the days, my parents had a 1987 W124 200 Diesel with navy interior and white exterior. Very classic!

Re: MB - Bring back the quality and color

Sorry if i go off topic, but am a fan of interiors. This picture below of W140 shows the quality that needs to come back, but unlikely with situation in the autoindustry.
