Vancouver flooded with too many White C300 or C350

Ok I was in Burnaby Metrotown driving to richmond going through Vancouver. From Burnaby to Vancouver, I saw at least 4 white C classes. Then I was at Richmond having coffee with my friend at starbucks on No. 3 road. Me and my friend counted at least 5 white C classes that drove by us in less then 3 minutes... literally... OMFG... Im happy I got a Obsidian Black.. No offense to the whites though.. I still love the C classes.. no doubt white C classes are HOT!... at least in Greater Vancouver

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
Fortunately, they are not as popular in my area. I hope it stays that way. Before I got my C in Dec., I had been wanting a white car for about two years.

Yea I have that same feeling here with my obsidian black. I only saw one other black W204 in the city since I bought my car. And so many people don't even know what model it is after I debadged it haha. Which is cool cause then people think it might be a higher class than it is.

Not too many Palladium Silvers here in Richmond yet. Also, you can hardly spot one with 18" AMG wheels.

Whites and Iridium Silvers are dime a dozen nowadays!

Chinese people LOVE white cars

Vancouver? Understandable. Here's what happened to me at a double-ten softball event when the ball rolled into the parking lot:

"where's the ball?"
"next to the Honda"
"which one?"
"the white one"
"which one?"

In my area I see a W204 about once every 2 weeks or less. E Class, W203 and E90s are everywhere. +1 regarding the AMG wheels. I have only seen one W204 with the 18s and it's mine.

So far I've only seen 1 other Mars red C besides mine where I live. But was driving by the mb dealership the other day and my wife noticed other red c's in the lot. Hope those who buy them don't live where I am. : )
