hmmmm......this basically is saying that the new C-AMG car will likely outpower the competition (which has been the trend in recent history), BUT it will NOT aim to be as hardcore/focussed as the M3, meaning there will be a bias towards a slightly more comfortable ride.

Of course, this means the C-AMG car will likely once again be 2nd rate from a driving dynamics point of view (which it always has been in recent history). The C55 was the first time a C-AMG car had driving dynamics which came close to the M3. I guess they don't want to get any closer.

Some things never seem to change......I guess MB feels this is a better position to take rather than take on the M3 head on.
