I usually hate white and probably wouldn't buy it myself, but I gotta admit. The new CL, S and C all look hot in White especially with an AMG sport package.

There aren't any feminine or girlie colors really. I think they all would be fine for both male and female.

You're white from the waist down? Normally white guys brag about being black from the waist down.

white is very sporty if u ask me, i've moved to euro

however when i was into JDM
white s2k with CF hood...nice
or a white integra type R back in the day, all stunning and sporty in my opinion.

but ya black is black and will always will be classy and stunning when CLEAN!
but thats the tricky part, keeping it clean u see the dust, the water spots and stone chips so easily in black, but no color will ever match a clean black color well maybe a red Ferrari, but white is my choice!

Is Diamond White like a pearl kind of white?

I personally think pearl whites like on Lexus are more feminine than MB white.

I think White is fine for Enterprise, Hertz and my work/ fleet trucks but when I get in the family vehicle I want to see a more dazzling hew on the car. It seems like in my area everyone and their grandma drives a "white" vehicle. I've always zagged in life when others Zig so typically what ever the popular color is in any given decade I try to get the opposite and I've found it makes the vehicle more valuable and attractive when it's time to get another long as the color isn't too outlandish like orange or yellow. If it's white you like get it and who cares what people say or think if it's feminine.
