Sorry, ssonss1 and JikJak.

haha but its a sexy *** boat!

its definitely not as nimble as the C63, when i drove yours around the block it felt like a go kart! love it! the cls is a large luxo sedan but for its size it drives quite well, (watch the top gear episode on it) but its definitely not as nimble as the smaller cars out there.

I love the C63 myself but they're everywhere now. Kinda kills it for me personally. I have been bored of the C55 for some time now but they're still so rare. I see maybe 1 or 2 in an entire month. Maybe it's just me and I need to get out more? When I do though, C63 > left, right and center. I'd take one for the hell of it though!

+2 C63's, saw them around Richmond and told them about the thread. Hopefully they find it, didn't have time to exchange numbers because we were driving. Both in their mid to late 20's

You might be right about that. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they offered more colour choices for the C63.

Day-glo orange comes to mind.

Let me guess, one of them was a white one, and the other one was a black one.

I've seen 3 local Tenorite Greys so far, and Wankeldude's is also a Tenorite Grey (even though I haven't seen it in person yet).

There's also a red one in my office building parkade!

A silver one that was sporting Canucks flags on the rear windows he works at a friends shop in Richmond but I haven't ran into him there yet and yes a black one that was just itching to play around he was red light to red light accelerating. At first I thought it was you

Wow, I've never seen a red one. That's pretty unique for Mercedes cars

Well, you do have to step on the accelerator to go from point A to point B, kiddo.
