Sightings

Is it time for a Sigthings thread?

I saw 3 this morning already on my way to work!! Deliveries are happening in the GTA for sure.

1 white Sport NB on 404
1 Silver Lux NB on DVP
1 Black Lux NB on DVP

All looked beautiful, and the xenons rock ... piercing through the traffic; that car is undeniably awesome!

Cool....I've been looking everytime I go out, and haven't seen one yet in Toronto. I guess you never find something that you really look for.

Anytime now and I spot one too.

I can't even keep up anymore in the Sacramento area in California, It's always palladium silver, or black Luxury, and seems like most people in Nor Cal have the C300. There was a white sport on my street last week, and yesterday I was close to the house when a couple pulled up in a black C300 Luxury.

There's a Tanzanite Blue C300 Sport that's always come around my 'hood. And saw a C300 Sport parked at the lot at Eglinton West Subway station. Oh, and of course mine on the driveway.

I was following/gawked by the driver of a 328xi going up the Don Valley yesterday. And a carful (including the driver) in a C230 going down the 404 at Steeles. I love being a distraction on the road.

(I'm surprised that people are buying the luxury model in Canada... saw three at Thornhill MB on the lot.)

Another sighting in Seattle

Southbound on I-5 from downtown Seattle Sunday afternoon I ran along for a mile or so with a C300 Lux, black with tan, Oregon plates. I finally got out of his lane because of all his unnecessary braking and accellerating, driving me nuts with the brake lights. Even though we were off and on side-by-side, he (or she on the right) never so much as glanced over. You would have thought he was driving a Maybach 62S.

So, Today on my way to work, I saw a black one, On Dixon rd... crossing Islington. I was making a left in the intersection, and actually paused for a second cuz I couldn't belive it. It looked like a newer S class from a distance, then I was doing the "rubber necker" thing as it passed and I realized it was a NEW C!!....
It's gonna cause an accident.... especcially for those of us who are waiting, and always have "c-class on the brain"

Everyone in Toronto has gone into hiding because of the winter?

Spotted one last Sunday parked on Eglinton West. Iridium Silver C300.

I like yours!
Tenorite grey was my initial choice... and I like your 17" rims. The Canadian C300's have a five-spoke.

I haven't seen any new Cs where I live. If I want to see a boat load of them I go to SoCal or Toronto. I suspect next time I'm there I'll see one at least every block! Almost the same thing happened with the GL. Saw three or four brand new ones in 15 minutes on the 401.

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)

Honey and I saw one a few weeks ago in a parking lot at the 99 resturant. It was a silver C300 lux 4Matic. Looked real nice. They parked right next to my ML430. It was dark out so when we walked up to it Honey didn't even know what it was. She was all "Oh, what car is that?"
I had to LOL at that one.

They must have know another MB owner would be careful of their baby next to it.

C300
Finally, I saw a new C class other than mine on the street last saterday I was waiting for the green light at the intersection with my Palladium C300 4Matic Lux with sports grill on and I realized that same Palladium C300 4Matic but Sports was right next to me as well.. I always knew that Sports looks better but I didn't care much for harder suspension, rear tire noise on concrete highway, and alluminum panel inside.

Surely, it's gotta be very rare sighting for anyone to see the same color C300 lux and sport 4Matic side by side waiting for the green light in the small city like Toledo, Ohio..
