Sorry guys. Not anymore. I'm sold, if the C63 looks like this then sign me up for a white one next year. Sorry if it's a repost but it got me a little excited.

I'm sure the C63 will look a lot better than that.

'08 C300 Sport White w/ P2 MM & Pano


Looks great in white w/ the panoramic roof. After seeing this picture, I told my MB Salesman to change my order to exactly that

It sure does. I don't blame you for changing your order to white. Can't wait to see it.

Eventually. I have 17 months left on the lease which is perfect timing because the C63 will be released right around that time frame according to rumors.

Are the vultures already circling?

Awww, how sweet.

Really, no embarassment to say that. Those photography skills will get anyone to like just about anything.

What about the new BMW M3? I'm quite keen on that one. 2008 promises to be an interesting year with the new Mercedes-Benz C63, BMW M3, and Lexus IS-F (all expected to debut in the 2008 model year).

LOL! There is always something that serves as a motivating factor for all of us. For me it was a C32 on LM's belonging to Peter (pc527). Glad I could be of assistance steering you in the right direction.



Patrick, next year will be an interesting year. I think we've had somewhat of a drought the past few years with not many interesting cars being released. Glad to see calendar year 2008 will finally generate some excitement, at least for some people. BMW's style is straying further and further away from my liking. They've gone away from the "clean" styling, more towards extreme and that's just not something I prefer. The IS-F looks very promising as well in terms of power. However, if they did nothing to change the driving experience then it will be a VERY boring car to drive like my sister's IS250.

What are your thoughts on the M3?

I might do a black one if I get the C Class - maybe a 6-speed 350 or whatever engine they'll have to compete against the awesome TT I6 from BMW.

I had a Black benz and now a white one - just back and forth

Don't forget about the Audi S5 (and maybe RS5!). That's my favorite based on the pics I've seen so far.

God bless you , lol w204 looks so much better in person especialy with an amg package even regular looks very rich and good quality , that amber color was so perfect on non amg , i loved it . I loved the 203 i think it was hot with amg , but this car you can see quality just even by looking at the car itself , side profile is gorgeous , front very agressive with an amg , i loved it

'06 SS
I had a Diamond Black C230K (SS).

Then the V-6 showed up, and I bought an Iridium Silver V-6 SS.

I think with the new C300 (I debate the 350 on a daily basis with myself, but I can't bring myself to driving an automatic), I will have to pick something like Granite Grey. Even though I am tempted to keep the Silver...
