Haha, I love how "Mars red" isnt on here.
Unless you have it as one of the other reds?

I bought mars red because I love it. I had it on my 05 c.

It's rare. Not many people have a c in mars red.
In 3 years I saw maybe 2-3 others like my 05. I'm yet to find an 08 in mars on the road.

With the AMG wheels its bada$$...

I believe Mars Red is called Fire Opal in other markets? Could be wrong.

This is true, these listed are the international names for the colors. What do not understand is what happened to the Perakles Green? Or a box that just says "designo"

Ideally White, but they didn't have it in stock at the time and we couldn't wait.

Boring Iridium Silver. My previous car was Light Silver Metallic - liked the relatively care free maintenance, hides some stone chips and is pretty nondescript.

Just stay 10 feet away and you won't see them.

Very true! That's why I don't own one. A black car is beautiful when it is immaculate, but just how long will it stay that way...30 minutes after a complete detail?

Hmmmm......think I'll just ogle at them and leave the cleaning to others.

Initially I was thinking of getting one in Mars Red as well but people (and the sale guy) thought I was insane going with red. So I went with Tanzanite Blue Metallic and am very happy with the color, in the sunshine it looks like blue/purple. Don't see to many of them on the road unlike black, silver and white. Although I have seen 1 drive around in Vancouver and it looks NICE.

I'd the only red W204 in Vancouver for a few months. I was told that there are 2 or 3 more now.
