2012 C350 coupe; 2013 ML350
Not many 350 coupes in St. Louis. Only dealer to have sold these tells me that I have 1 of two that they have sold. Before buying, I checked other dealers who have said that they have only sold C250's as the 350's are a little hard and take some time to get.
Lots of stares and a couple of looks to lets run have happened.

I'm from Toronto area as well, I frequent from Richmond Hill to Toronto daily. From recently memory, last week I've spotted a white C250 coupe going south on Bayview south of 407 at night time. A silver? one going east bound on 401 near pearson airport after 10pm last week as well... And a couple black ones on the road... can't remember where now.
It's not as rare as it was since last Dec. for sure haha, oh btw, another day an undercover cop was checking me out on 404, lucky he wasn't planning on pulling me over.

Yes, I ordered from Plaza. Pallidium silver with 4Matic. I live in IL but get to St. Louis often. I saw a C250 coupe at a Blues game, and took a picture, but that's the only one I've seen. I was told it would be here last week, but I'm still waiting. Now they say this week, so my fingers are still crossed Is yours the light silver?
Is yours the light silver?Let us know how you like the 4matic.

2012 C250 Coupe
Today was a very interesting day, aside from the usual looks and stares on the road, and elderly man (60-70) went so far as to give me a thumbs up in the costco parking lot as I was riving past him... I presume it was about the car, because I was listening to some avicii seek bromance dubstep at the time (something I HIGHLY doubt elderly people would listen to).
Aditionally, when I valet parked it last night at the club when I went out, I overhead the valet manager tell the guy (make sure you park it in the front and reverse the car into the spot). Sure enough, when I got outside, there she was front and center! =P

C350
I've gotten more looks with my new wheels on. Can't say I did prior to that, because the car is not that far off from a Sedan or previous generation. Can't speak for other cities, but in Downtown Los Angeles, there are so many C-Sedan, Coupes, 3 series Sedans, and 3 series Coupe. I think its because there are always great lease deals on the car, so you'll see plenty on the road here.
Now if you had a C63, that's a whole different ball game. Car is a beast in every way.

I'm still loving the admirable/enviable attention this car and I'm sure other Mercs create, especially here in Aust.
Love it everytime I exit or go to my car in a CBD carpark and notice other people especially older business men looking and by the look on their face trying to figure out how a younger looking bloke than he, can have one of those LOL
Here in Aust. prestige vehicles are mega expensive, so it's mainly an older demographic that have them, especially amongst MB owners.

190 evoII replica
I work as a sales manager in a car parts store. I sit mostly behind my desk, but when i enter the shop almost every garage owner that is a regular customer talks to me about what a nice car it is, how little you see them on the road in Belgium, if it's a 2.5,...
You see some facelift sedans here in Belgium but i have only seen 2 other coupes here this year. And one had the ugly non sport bumpers and no leather seats...

2012 E550 Coupe
I get tons of looks in the E550 Coupe. Lot of thumbs ups and often have people tailgating me giving me the signal to go faster with a grin on their face.
Pulled up next to a convert E46 full of girls the other day, giant smile on my face when one of them said nice car
Few days ago I was driving down the highway and all of a sudden I realized I was in convoy with an SL63 in black, a new E350 convert in black, my E550 Coupe in black and a C63 AMG in black. a LOT of people were looking and it felt pretty awesome.
