Do you guys remember how Skoda offered the vRS cosmetic package for free just as the Octavia I went out of production? Everybody laughed at them for putting 100 hp diesel sedans that looked like they had double the power on the road.
Well, now Mercedes does it and nobody bats an eyelid. For instance, this C200, which boasts a nice AMG-lie body, despite only boasting 1.8 liters of displacement and a measly 184 hp. It's not particularly fast or economical, it's just average with decent looks.
One think it does have going for it is a unique color, and that's because Wrap Workz Hong Kong had it covered in violet metallic vinyl. It's not subtle, but not over the top either.
So what do you think. Is the violet W204 Mercedes C200 a legitimate head-turner?
