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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
