Cars of the Moment

Is it just me or has everyone jumped on the Mercedes Band wagon recently? All I see are C-Class/E-Class, guessing every Audi A4/A6 owner has jumped into them, as there seems to be a little less around these days.

How come this happens? Is it just a trend?

I keep seeing smaller and smaller urban cars.

Lots of people seem to be buying Maserati Granturismo's at the moment for daily drivers.

People have jumped the Jag XF model around here. I see 10' plates ALL the time. They've become extremely common. Might be a good deal on them or something.

I suspect because they're new.
The new A6 came out before the new E Class.
The new E Class came out before the BMW F10.

This time next year you'll be asking why there are so many new BMW 5 Series about

I've only ever seen 1 F10 about at the moment. I don't know, I think Mercedes have become better cars recently, but I'm sick of seeing the same 'White' Mercs all the time.

A lot of new 4 pot C Classes around here.

Viper Green Sciroccos.

Bugatti Veyrons tbh

Might also be the area you live in.

Down in Devon there's quite a broad range.

White cars becoming more common as 'trendies' think they are being unique.

This. There are loads around here. There's an Audi A5 'poverty' spec 2.0 TFSI convertible round here with stupidly small wheels and it looks gash. Everyone is jumping on the white car bandwagon.

Corsa's are where its at

Some white cars can look ok imo.
