I don't know which is uglier- the colour or the headlights. Still, could be worse- neon green with flames perhaps.

My parents had a refrigerator that color in the '70s. I think it was designed to cut down on our urge to snack between meals.

Green on red. Sweet! Did y'all see the thread in the diesel forum about the green on green one? I think maybe it was the same exterior color.

I like it.

It would be great to have an SD, SDL or W123 with that color. Green or red interior would be great,too! It just shouts out that it's a German car. Everyone around these parts is driving black, silver, dark blue,burgundy, gold, or gold-brown cars. Just look around. Boring.
It would be nice to see some color again.
At least my gold 300TD is a brighter gold than most other cars.

I would be happy to add that car to my fleet.

The unusual color is much more appealing to me than are the +90% of the MB's out there that are a variation of either Grey or Black...

I would have no problem buying a green MB. I like it because it is rare, also it screams German.

I like the mint green, actually, but I doubt I could ever be convinced to like the split-pea variety of green.

VVV mine are gray and navy because that's what I came across, but if I was able to order new in any color I liked, I would choose a silvery-green, a silvery-gold, teal, or black

I'm not very picky about car colors as long as it isn't something girly like pink or purple. As long as the body and paint are in good shape.

Actualy I would buy one car in purple but only one, an XJ220 they look sweet in purple.

Yeah some shades on the right car look downright sweet.

A guy I went to school with back in highschool now goes to my college. He bought a brand new Neon, but the kicker is he special ordered it in purple! We are wondering about him...
