pictures dont really express the intensity of citron green. i mean in the parking lot or even when it was int he service area, the color is just so bright and it really doesnt show the same way as when you see it in person. one of the techs said they dont need any light while working on the car. i must say im very pleased, more than i could imagine with the color. no regrets whatsoever. very very very happy!!!! no if i could only bring it home. 
i guess a few more days isnt much after 2+ months!!

yes it was quite easy to pick out as we were walking thru the delivery lot looking for it. the color just sorta shines thru the cracks and crevices so you can see it no matter what.

Guess I'll be reading many more posts from you now that you actually have it
I can't wait to see your pic of the personalised sills. Kineda has them in blue. My guess is that yours will be in lime green ???
Enjoy !!!

I've only seen promo pics of this color...looks a lot better on your car than with the color balanced lighting tricks they play in the ads. If it's multi-hue'd like Orion and Paprika, I'd like to see pics of it in subdued (dusk) light and under mercury vapor (mall) lights...just out of curiosity.
Congrats on your new ride!

I've seen a few citron greens in my area and I personally think it's a pretty brutal color. I can't imagine finding a buyer when I want to sell the car in the future. But then again, color is a subjective topic. :p

I worried at first also about the resale, but I'm with CitronC230K_03 - it's after all MY car.
And in any case, when I sell it in 7 years, the type of buyer interested in a $10k Mercedes will be very different than the buyer interested in the new $30k Mercedes. So I don't think I'll have a problem selling the car - in fact, given that the buyer demographics will change - the color / manual shift combo might actually be a selling point!

here here. also if you think about it, someone who would go for that color, most likely will be a younger person anyhow, so the manual shift might be a better selling point. either way, im here to enjoy the moment and not ponder on the future. woo hoo!!!

you finally got your car eh? looks very nice. you're going to love the bi-xenons and the door sills. what color door sills did you choose? our cars are almost identical in their stock forms expect for the colors and wood trim. seeing those pics reminded me of when i picked my shiny new car 2 months ago. i loved that day. and everyday since has been a blast everytime i get behind the wheel. congrats, drive hard.
