How many C230Ks do you see?
For the longest time, I was the only one in Westwood(West Los Angeles) that had a C230k. Now I've got three within 2 blocks of me! How many do you see on the road lately? Are our numbers growing that rapidly?

I bought a Bordeaux red Coupe on the Aug 15th. On Oct 31st, I traded it for my Orion Coupe. Last weekend I finally saw a Coupe which I wasn't driving. It was my old Bordeaux car. I checked the VIN to be sure. I see C240's and C320's all the time, but no Coupes.

1991 mr2 turbo, 2002 coupe
I saw my first one in the wild on Valentine's day- one day before I picked up mine and it was in fitting magma red clothing - no C7. Second would be mine, its pretty cool on hope it stays rare.

Occasionally, I see a paprika coupe on the way to work (suburban MD). I see others only once in a while, like maybe every couple of weeks. They're definitely still a rarity here.

C230 C-Coupe
I have seen tons of black and silver, a couple of green, red and paprika and and I have only seen one orion blue and one white.
In Oakland I keep seeing the same green car, one day it was in our company car park and then later I saw it on the street and then again when I went out for dinner. In Berkeley I keep seeing different black coupes with combinations of c7, leather, cloth and c1.
I have seen many more in the last month then I had seen in total over the last three months.

First one I saw was a black one in Beverly Hills, making a left turn on the opposite side of traffic. Second, a silver one in front of me and I pull next to him at the light in West Hollywood.
Third, another black one behind me on La Cienaga south of Beverly Hills. Fourth, a silver one, fifth a silver one driving along each other on Santa Monica Blvd near Century City in heavy rain.

2002 Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor Sports Coupe
In four months:
1 Black, no sunroof, near my house (Avalon Park - East Orlando), only saw it once. Wife saw it once more a couple weeks later. Driven by a young woman.
1 Orion Blue, with spare on front left tire, being driven by a biker-dude with long hair and bandana, exiting gas station near UCF.
1 Silver going north on I-4 near Sea World, has been seen twice by other co-worokers.
1 Silver exiting EPCOT as I was driving in, out-of-state license plate.
Haven't seen any since early January.

I've seen many C-coupes in town. They've all been black, silver, and orion blue. I've also seen one citron green and one white. But of course, Houston is a big town and there are lots of car lovers here.
