how popular is the new C in your town?

I live in Denver and I am still surprised that the new C is still a rarity on the roads (I've seen a few Luxury models in Black and a couple Sports in Pewter and White). I always get excited when I see another C on the street and try to pull up to it, but sometimes from a distance I get this car mistaken for our cars:

a 2006 Camry

The shape and white stripe of the tail lights and the chrome trim above the license plate looks very similar. Has this occured to you?

I've only seen about 5 or 6 total. Most have been C300 Lux/Sports, only seen 1 other C350.

No comment on the Camry comparison... but I have heard others make similar comments... I just prefer to think about it.

Not too many. I guess you could blame the new model coming out in the middle of the recession scare. dunno

Back in October, I have never seen a w204 when I purchased my C350.

It's a dime a dozen now. I see at least 3-4 every day. Almost all of them being C300's.

All this being from the state that has one of the highest gas prices.

Not much around here, either. But it seems there's a lot of everything else. E's, S', 3's, 5's and 7's.

Never seen another W204 on the road here in the suburbs of Indianapolis.

There are however quite a few MBs on the road here. My neighbor's wife has a W203 and he has an S600.

I don't see too many around the area where I live (East Bay, in the greater San Francisco Bay Area). I've seen 2~3 in the last 5 months. I only see a crapload of 3-series in all its incarnations. But when I go near San Jose (South Bay, about 30~40 minutes away) for work, I see a ton of C-classes. Mostly C300s. No C63 sightings yet!

Not many, they aren't selling well, especially to previous W203 owners or leasees.

not so many here in the south france/marseille area.

More during the weekend though. (retired folks..?!)

Also see much more avantgarde (big star in grill) than Elegance/classic (star on hood).

White seems to be slightyl more popular than any other color.
