There might very well be one in Dallas - I saw one at the Park Place Dealership late last year. My eyes are only now recovering.

Someone here got one a month or two ago. Everyone on the board was quite polite and said they thought it looked good.

We all know the truth though. =)

Citron Green

We saw one yesterday at Three Point Motors in Victoria, next to our red one in the showroom. My wife thought it looked great, and I thought it was all right too, certainly more interesting than the silver-black-white unholy trinity

Notice how no one is admitting to owning one?

It's all "I saw one back a month ago or so, I think"

No, but plenty of people here have Hatchbacks that are Citrons.

I saw one in Montreal in the end of April parked near St. Catherines. Not sure if the owner is a member of this forum, though.

Citron in Montreal

I can confirm there are a couple in Montreal, but the majority are black and silver.

I've seen two in San Francisco - one C7 (looked like the guy lived near the north end of Van Ness) the other not.

Strangely enough, I've only ever seen one orion blue.

Cheers, BT

Mine is black but someone swore they would be my friend for life if I bought one in Citron Green.

No one needs friends that bad!! or that kind of friend...

Saw one last month on the 405 fwy southbound near Carson. I think it looks good, but personally I won't have that color myself.

See, we do have polite people. Somewhere.

Of course I picked the most "normal" color you can possibly pick on a Mercedes.

A fashion follower, not a fashion leader, that's me.

I think you all are being too harsh. If you want different, it is that. And it's really pretty in a different sorta way. Black (which I have), silver, blue, all kinda dull. To bad they don't make purple was my thought.

Remember, different types for different tykes.

I test drove one, I thought it was pretty. IMHO, it's much nicer than say Paparika.

Cheers,

Beth

This might be the problem. I know that I don't want to buy a car that is "pretty". Plus, I still think this is a VW Bug color.

Fair enough, but who wants to look like everyone else on the road?

Sounds like someone has some insecurities, Scott.

I wish that it were less washed-out, like it was on the original c-coupe.com website (actually, wish Orion were a little stronger like it was represented on the site also), but I think it's a nice color.

I saw Ed's paprika at the NJ chip-a-thon, and pics and artificial light don't do it justice.

It is nice to see that not everyone gets silver or black.

There's "Good Different" and there's "Bad Different".

A C230K with a sweet body kit is "Good Different"

A C230K with 11" rims is "Bad Different"

A Citron Green C230K is not "Good Different" IMO. =)

The Citron is actually better looking in person than it appears in the MB literature/website. It's more of a green-tinted silver than how overtly lime green it appears in the MB pictures.
