How many of you guys (not gals) out there are driving a WHITE W204?
I am thinking about taking over my wife's 2011 C300, but am wondering if it is possibly too "girly" for a middle aged guy?
It has black interior, sport package and 18" inch AMG wheels.
Thanks very much in advance, your thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated.

Girly? Hell no, that's a great looking ride. Do you feel funny wearing pink too?

Not at all. There are chick cars. ( see miata ) but no issue with the color white.

No I don't think it's too girly or too boyly.
It's a gender neutral color to me.

Nice looking car! I'd give white a very strong consideration IF I lived in a hot climate. I had a white W210...wasn't ever crazy about the color.
White cars are great as pretty much everyone can tolerate it for years and years as it never goes out of style like some colors.
Also lighter interiors work with white too even though manufacturers thing you have to have black....
I hate black interios as I live in deep south and it gets HOT and black seats can burn ya

Thanks VERY MUCH for everyone's input and opinion, greatly appreciated.
The wife has now decided to keep her car (for now, .......) I will therefore keep the S550.
At least I know, in case she changes her mind again.

The only "girly" looking thing about that is the "be-dazzled" looking side markers. As for the white exterior...after 6 years and 115k miles, I still get compliments especially with the grey 2-tone interior.

Clear sidemarkers are a big improvement over pumpkin colored.
To me, it is not the color but the body style that can make a car 'girly' or not.

I actually consider clear side markers a downgrade...but each his own. Just like how most mods are when one looks to purchase a used car.

As long as bulb is Amber.
Couldn't really bring myself to do clear, I don't like the reflector look, however I do think it is better than orange.
Therefore I chose the best route of colormatching them lol.

After owning four white cars, I sure agree they tend to keep their cool (and their "clean")..............
But for my coupe - after comparing the three available Silver options up close at our dealer's three locations - - -
I went - actually with no regrets - with Iridium Silver.

Absolutely nothing wrong with white.....................
I drove a 69 350/350 during my time wearing blue and gold............
.....but I'm not sure if your 'Vette is a 73 or (?)
It's been awhile.
