Citron Coupe anyone?

People thought they were ugly when they came out.
I kinda liked it, sat in one with Oyster leather,
but liked other colors more.

Some people seek them out...
If you are the one who seeks...

I agree. It was the original color on my order. However, it looked much more washed out in person than on the mbusa website. So I switched to Orion Blue, and the rest is beautiful history.

That's a good color, and that is a nice car. Factory Bi-Xenon's and the C7 package - nicely optioned for a 2002.

That color makes me think of the first commercial I saw run for the Coupes: The odd one where the guy throws his phone number in a note out of (a bus?? truck??) and through the open sunroof of a girl's Citron Coupe and it floats around in the passenger seat for a minute. Then she opens the glove compartment and adds it to all the others.

Strange commercial...and I've never been able to find a copy of it since.

Seems pretty highly priced for a 2002 coupe though, but then again it doesn't say the milage so it could be just really low milage or something. My favorite color on the coupes as always been Orion Blue, not much of green person my self

Ha, but there's a guy with one in Canada that looks nice.
MW there were no Factory Bix in 2002.

Yes, silver is much more exciting.

Paprika is another oddball color that looks better in person than on the page. There was a guy in Jersey who had one, very sharp. It would be really nice if MB would have some really interesting options, like BMW does. Valencia Orange would look great on a coupe.

The reason I like silver on a Merc & they almost universally use silver in model launch pics is that it shows all the detail lines on the body to best effect. Many of which disappear with other colours. Then there is the tie back to the Silver Arrows. Then of course there is the reflective value in hot countries & being visible at night etc. Do I like it - damn right I do. All Merc design clays are sprayed silver to evaluate.

Cubanite silver would go well in the outback! Greeny brown metallic.
