Calcite White W204 pics?
In Canada, the only white W204 is "Calcite". Anyone have pics they can share?
I like the Arctic white pics on this forum.
Thanks

Well, I guess I have news for you - the "Arctic White" in our market [my car - color code 650] is the same as "Calcite" in world markets. This is confirmed by my touchup paint, which is code 650 and labeled Calcite. So any white W204 in the USA market is Calcite.
This confirms a suspicion I've had for some time - MBUSA tends to fuss with model designations, option combinations, and color names to make them "unique" to the US market. MB Canada pretty much plays by the EU catalog. Lordy, how I wish MBUSA would stop messing with the lineup this way, and let us have what is available in Canada [like the C230 that will shortly be available].
Anyway, there is no difference between the "white" labeled Arctic here and Calcite everywhere else.
