did you guys give each other a thumbs up or a nod?
the only time i saw another w204 while i was in my own was when i was on the freeway, and i thought i might give the other driver the wrong idea if i flashed him or gave him a thumbs up.. so i didn't do anything.

too few in jersey
In a place where the old C is a dime a dozen, and I see E classes about once an hour and S-classes about twice a day, I'm confused why so few new C's? And in the process of buying mine I know the local dealers have plenty and are selling plenty, no need to special order. With that said, in the past 3 months I've only seen one Iridium Silver on Prospect Ave in West Orange (near ShopRite) and one Paladium Silver on Livingston Ave in Livingston (near the Bottle King).

First sighting in Vancouver (on the street) on 15 November. Then saw 1 a day for the next 3 days.
Now you see 1 every day or so. Haven't seen a non-Chinese behind the wheel of one yet
(this is the Chinaman's choice of car around here, other than the 3-series, which most also have already)

Chinese drivers in Vancouver
<<Stereotyping! 
>>
Living in Seattle, I have visited Vancouver many times and know a few people there and that's what they tell me.
Hong Kong money in Vancouver BC = double size house, big German car. Watch out.

Spotted a white c350 sport at my gym in near the alderwood mall in WA. It had folding mirros and looked nice. Was the first time I had seen one up close and all I gotta say is that the big emblem for the sports grill is really big. HUGE actually.

But you gotta see the drivers in the Jewish neighbourhood throwing their S-class around like it's a Chevy Celebrity.
Or the Russians driving on the shoulder of the highway like in their homecountry.
oww.......... bring on the flames.
Point is... there are bad drivers in every culture.
Same here.... just a little bit more exclamation from my coworkers...

NYC too
Don't you get it, it ain't that they may be Chinese, it is that they
re a different a color that you notice. I mean, everything that you say about the price of living and buying a bigger house in HK can be said about NYC, South Beach Miami and maybe LA (seen the price of a prewar studio on the upper east side recently? Or a one bedroom condo in South Beach?). But you don't see people pointing out the bad NYC drivers who come from another country (relative to Canada) and buy big houses and big german cars.
Yeah, it may that there are not as many NY'ers, but hopefully you understand my point and kinda how wrong some comments are. Of course, this won't and shouldn't stop you from using whatever name you want. I'm not for pc bullcrap. But more importantly, your continued use of derogatory words helps me more easily identify you as a biggot and to steer way clear!

NJ sightings Christmas Week
Okay, back on topic.
Seen 2 more recently (which makes 4 sightings in 4 months, woohoo!)
12/24 Montclair/West Orange Barollo Red lux w204 turning right onto Prospect Ave from Eagle Rock, nice car, driven like it should be (lead foot).
12/27 Westbound rt.280, Livingston area, you had a nice black c300 lux version, no 4matic, came up alongside and I didn't see you until you were taking off, thought you wanted to test each other, but couldn't in traffic. Maybe next time if you're a regular commuter on rt. 280.
me? black c300sport 4 matic with pano, debadged.

I haven't see many around for a while and then suddenly in the past two weeks I've seen 5 different W204s in town or around town (North Jersey).

2014 Ghibli S Q4 & 2008 C350
Just saw one the other day in Woodbury on Radio Drive when I was heading to one of my favorite sushi joints. I could tell it had the AMG kit but I couldn't tell if it had a spoiler on it so don't know if it was a 300 or 350. Looked sweet though. Can't wait, should only have a few more weeks to go!
