Is one red more "sporty" than another? I guess C-Class coupe and cabriolet is about having a sportier character same goes with CLS (the sportier cousin of the E-Class) while the E-Class is about elegance and a more "mature/executive?" character?

We likely wouldn't know what the CLE will have in terms of red until it is officially revealed, it would likely be a MANUFAKTUR colour as well.

Oh I didn't pay attention to that I guess it depends on the market on which the vehicle is in and therefore uses different name such as Cirrus Silver vs High-tech silver (I believe same code as well?), Cavansite blue vs Lunar blue etc.

C coupe and S coupe had the cardinal... E coupe is in the middle but has patagonia, it cannot be sportier than both?

Alright looks like I don't understand either with MB's decision. Could it have to do with sales? C is the cheapest of the three, S is the most expensive of the three.

Cardinal Red has more orange in it. Patagonia Red has more blue. I absolutely loved my C Class in Cardinal red and would have ordered for my E Class it had it been available. I got more compliments on it than any other car color I've owned.

Good attention to detail, thanks for letting me know the differences and glad you are enjoying the colour as well
