Anyone have insight if a red exterior color will be available in the USA.

There are a ton of red W204's on the road. Not my favorite color but might look interesting on the W205

German and SA built cars are available in a really nice, rich looking metallic red color. I think the Alabama plant isn't prepared to handle bright colors yet.

True. Red might make the bumper, door and mirror panel mismatches TOO obvious.

I'd bet red is re-added (at a premium) in a year or two.

I believe the red offered on the C is the same as what MBUSA calls Designo Cardinal Red on the facelifted W212's...it's Hyacinth Red. Appears to be only $1,080 on the W212 vs. the $1,515 for the Diamond White.

I hope they bring the red and the Brilliant Blue...will indeed spice up the dealer lots.
