Only color that'll do really well in any season is grayish, I think?
Luckily I live in the desert (Las Vegas) so don't have to worry about bugs...I think the white looks sharp!!

I had a 2009 C-Class in white before this one and believe me, it wasn't as white as this one! Previous Mercedes-Benz cars in white was more like eggshellwhite and not as white as the competitors. That looked awful.

I'm really pleased with Polar white but the downside is the bugs in the summer and the winter dirt(black snow) is more visible

The last 4 cars I have had was black and said never again. I got steel grey this time, next car will be black. Miss that shine no other color can give.

I agree. I've been deciding between the silvers and diamond white for my next C but after seeing a few blacks in just photos it keeps pulling me back..

Timeless is just a fancy way of saying that a color is way to common and boring.

What's funny is how did the year 2009 factor in...versus let's say 2006 or any other year...I'm gonna paint mine Barbie car pink!!!

To each his own, I personally always try to chose a color I like that is new for the model to make the car feel really fresh and new.


We have a color named Tenorite Gray (755) that has been around since the W211,it is very common and seeing a W205 in that color makes it look dull and old.


My 2 cents.

Must be a real challenge for you to pick on spelling from someone from another country?

Don't be so sensitive. And technically it was your grammar I was correcting. But seriously it's not a big deal, don't take it personally. We're all friends here (for the most part).

Partial LED headlamps here. Good enough as I most of the time drive in daylight.

Where I live, Norway, the color white is not often chosen because of all the snowdirt, salt etc. Grey, brown and black is the common and boring color here. Polar white is awful in the winter but you stand out with it in the summer
