i don't feel special anymore, because for some reason, in the past month or so, the number of w204's out on the road has skyrocketed... are they offering some new discounts or something? i see SO many now.. i must see at least 2-3 everyday now. this sucks. i wanna be special dammit!

That’s when the MODs work like a sham, it personalizes, and it gives that identity.

it's just going to get more and more each day

I see about 2~3 of them in Vancouver also. I think it's just that more people are aware of the new C and 09's will come out soon.

Not so in the Phila area (yet). In the past 4 months, I've only seen 3 other than mine. I'm sure that will change though.

^that's how it was for me in the OC... up until like a month ago.

I used to give a nod to the other w204 drivers, because our cars were relatively rare.

but now, i just look the other way, because they're too cotdamn common

I too am beginning to see more of the new C. Why, just last week I saw 2 of them. Man, that's almost two too many!

But. This was a new year for some other cars as well.

How many new Accords have I seen? Maybe fewer than the C.
How many new V30s? Again, not more than 2 or 3.

Maybe there's a supply issue with cars? Maybe they just aren't selling well in the Pacific NorthWet? Dunno.

I do know, however, that when you see mine, it's very dirty from all the road dirt that has washed up in the rain and heavy truck traffic.

I knew it would happen sooner or later, but didn't expect to see it happen this soon. I see like 2-3 W204s every time I'm out on the road now. But I guess they ARE popular and ARE a great bit of kit.

I feel like changing my wheels now to look different from the crowd...

Every month the Wall Street Journal publishes a list of the 10 fastest-selling cars in the USA (stay on the lot the shortest time). W204 is always on this list.

dude, sorry, but the C-Class isn't that special period. So you'll see them more and more. They still look so much better than the W203 tho. But I'd prefer to see 2-3 W204s everyday rather than E90s. They're ugly IMO.

here in the midwest they are getting pretty common place, that and the e90 new 3 series, although I dont see the coupe that much. I think the 3 series more than the 204, but of of mercedes tho I actually see the most of the ML, and the G-class, the suv's are the most I see probably from the 3 pointed star's new line up
