German Car Zone

For a moment there I thought: "CLK Black Series with rear doors? How did they do that?"

Looks like the folks over at AMG have finally been given the reign of their own garage and told: "Ok,ok, ju vant tu get krazy, zen go ahead!"

Cant wait to see what they will do to the SL

Not in the looks department though.

This is the only thing I can do right now! Oh no...wait...

Very well done MB!!!!

couldn't agree with you more, but in my case it is rs4 who is the victim of c63.

This is the wake up BMW needs... they have the money I just can't understand how there not blowing us away with the new generation... perhaps it will all begin come the new 7 series ???

OK, the car look very aggressive. Perhaps even too aggressive for a Benz. The front is overdone & almost cartoonish - way too busy. And some said IS-F & M3 looked overdone & ricey???

C63 AMG: Aggressive? Yes. Classy? Definitely not.

Modern?

You have to be kidding, right? Or you do not have a clue about what modern means nowadays? The biggest problem I have with this car is that it looks ... old. Yes, old. The way the design is executed reminds me of BMW's late 90's design. Not modern at all. Especially this pic & angle are not flattering (with no special PS effects & special lighting):



Benz? Old-ish look is very Benz indeed, but overdone aggressiveness isn't.


Engine & performance figures are impressive. Yet it was expected C63 would come with approx 450HP. Nothing unusual here. AMGs have always been torque & power monsters ... therefore the nickname "Drag Kings".

But with this styling C63 is more Drag Queen than King.

Great job, MB! The best part is the engine and numbers...

I like this car a lot; it takes traditional Mercedes styling cues to the 21st century and combines them with appropriately aggressive details in a way that creates one of the best-looking sedans, period. Judging by the comments here, most members (apart from a few BMW stalwarts) seem to like it, too. Some seem to think it's OTT, but I'm willing to bet most of them just need a bit of time to adjust.

Well, time to change your avatar i guess...

OMFG!!! After finally picking my jaw up off the ground and wiping the drool off my keyboard, I'm finally able to post something. That is one seriously impressive automobile. The intentions are so obviously CLEAR!!! on all fronts, specs and looks. It reminds me of something from the old school transformers cartoon, I'm almost afraid when I look at it. I'm waiting for it to change into something and just start blowing sh!t up.

Obviously this car means business. If you're a true fan of cars and the advancement thereof, this is an amazing car. The competition between the German brands is producing some wonderful offerings. I can't wait to see the stig get his hands on these new cars. Talk about power to the people.
