Lots of customers have complained, they've faltered in the JD Power ranking, and they sort of their lost their mojo a bit, especially in the States. And that has finally brought them to their senses.

A powerful twin turbo L6 on a tiny Coupe. Droool….

…..only an expensive junk. Just imagine 6.2l try to compete with 4.0l, is like a 25 years old man try to compete with a 15 years old boy ….and get beaten.

The only advantage this has over BMW is comfort. But If I want comfort I will go for Lexus which is less expensive and better quality. The Lexus will eat this Mercedes for supper everynight.

i think?…hoho

but i can only dream owning dis….

anw, she really look fierce and outstanding campare to other design in merc. i think this design is really launch to fight with bmw m3, base on the preformance and looks. with this design, is like a ice breaking for merc's impression that gave most m'sian. which is old man only likes car. hahaha!! cuz is stable and comfort. now i feel this car is kinda young.

This is the new trendy color. It seems now every new car offer this color (dark silver grey ?)

Merc is one car which can provide no other car can. That is, be lazy, Take it Easy and still be Monstering FAST. This is the ultimate muscle machine.

Dear James Bond,

Concord ! You really got the point there..haha. Yeah i feel the same way about Merc. It seems slow and steady in its lazy mode, but when it comes speeding in 'amok' from far away..it'll be the monster of tornado. ZeuuoooOOOOSSSSS !!

Porsh, Merc, BM…"the Germans R 2 DaMn GeniuS" is proven.

porsche and bmw are 2 different types of cars la. please compare apples with apples.

bmw and mercedes have always been traditional competitors.

but even compared to a porsche directly or indirectly, bmw's are no slouch in the handling department.

I would say a Z4M doesn't look too shabby even next to a cayman.

The BMW is really ugly. The only advantage I can see is a more engaging drive as BMW always tune their cars that manner. The Merc is always gonna be more comfortable. IMO, If i want engaging drive, might as well go for a Porsche of the same price range. The Porsche will eat BMW for breakfast anyday.

BTW, BHP per litre is overrated. It doesn't tell you anything about overall performance or engine efficiency. In its full glory the 6.2 V8 easily exceeds 500bhp and weighs about the same (maybe less, forgot exactly) than the M5s 5.0 litre V10 thanks to its lightweight construction, with more torque to boot.

The difference between more recent AMG models compared to ones in the past, is the emphasis on better driving dynamics. Take the engine, for example, is designed to be NA and high revving in nature, unlike the previous supercharged V8s or biturbo V12s feeling of lazy effortless power.

IMHO, in terms of straightline speed at least, this C63 will spank the new M3. In terms of overall dynamic polish, the M3 will still probably be better. That said, it will be exciting to see how close Merc can get to BMW in that department with this car.

Looking forward to the group tests.

like as if they havent got a huge torque at the rear,

looks front drive,

Awesome aggresion from AMG & Mercedes.The styling is truly BRUTAL!!!

Having Brabus shoehorned a 6.1ltr V8 in the previous C-Class to make the CV8S , MB/AMG decided to produce their own in hse effort..

The only tragedy is AMG don't make cars with a manual tranny. That's where they usually lose out to BMW M cars, in addition to the overall driving experience
