Track handling - I agree AMG sound - I agree Speed/horse power goes to the AMG Merc every time however. Looks are subjective |

The new 205 chassis coupe reminds me of a smaller 222 chassis coupe in my opinion. I have seen a couple of the new c63 AMG sedans come into my dealership and they sound amazing. The new 4 liter biturbo v8 is quite the beast especially with a backwards exhaust. There is hardly any turbo lag from what I hear from the other technicians who get to road test them after they have worked on them. The inside of the car looks very well layed out. I have yet to work on one.

Not sure how I feel about the new tail lights. They remind me of the vw passat cc but the rest of the car is awesome

I think you nailed it...Mercedes all the way on the front half, but the rear is VW. Still not bad, especially in a darker color. I just looked up the price for the AMG GT S Coupe, and it turns out that the C63 AMG Coupe is quite a deal! Suddenly it looks a lot better...

There's no comparo between any new BMW and Benz. I wonder which company is holding out on the comparo sponsorship?
The way BMW has been shortchanging themselves... I'm sure Mercedes is way more comp than most expect in these new gen models.

Unknown, I agree with your comments above.
At my age now, with my kids done with college and working at good jobs (meaning I have a lot more disposable income). I just want one car that does it all and looks good at the same time. This C63, M4, 2017 Q60 (high hp version) or possibly the M2 could realistically be in my garage replacing the Z before the end of 2016. |

Mahalo Zeda, I've been following bimmerpost for awhile and these renderings as well as some others are on there. I'd really like to see what the Infiniti Q60 comes out with before acquiring any new car.
Like you, white collar profession/income but blue collar roots. So even if I enjoy cars and can spend more on a car, it's still hard to get rid of the, "get the best bang for your buck" mentality. Guess that's why I enjoy the Z

Looks like contrary to popular belief. In the sedan world...
The Cadillac ATS-V was the fastest around a track. The MB C63 AMG was second fastest The 63 was the BEST DRIVERS CAR. The BMW came in last place. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OEJYD6PS9q0
