Since picking up our C300 back in March I haven't seen another one in brilliant blue. This week we drove down to Cornac in France and decided to stop in Orleans on the way for the night. I was more then a little surprised to come out of the hotel to see this in the morning!
Other then the badging on the back it was identical to mine, even down to the wheels!
The C300 made the 800 mile trip down here very easy, the tiny fuel tank wasn't the problem I thought it would be as even at fast autoroute speeds we still managed to average 50.4mpg so just one fuel stop on the way down, just got the journey back to contend with now.
I so very nearly bought a Brilliant Blue one, it's a great colour. Still not seen another Hyacinth Red mind you. Only couple of E class in the colour, but no Cs.

Hopefully (being completely selfish) ..... They discontinue the brilliant blue .... Keeping sights like the above a rarity and worth writing about ....
I love the brilliant blue ..... Never had a blue car before .... But mine arrives this week
Brilliant blue is a common colour for the estate. The exterior, including the wheels, is the standard AMG package. So I'm afraid this will happen more often :-). Although i don't like the estate as much as the sedan, this colour suits it very well.
