Anyway I`ll have to disagree with Rik here.. This journalist is one of the most critical I`ve ever come across. I have known him for some time and have tried to disreguard some of his reviews.

This one isn`t very informative
but it does show how capable the C63 really is.

NOT. Not in a coupe luxury/GT style car in that price range there surely aren't a "lot" of other better cars. If you want a sports car (different type of vehicle) then yes, the 911 GT3 or R8 make a better case, but as far as the M6 and other similar cars go, not even.

It's weird how the intial reviews of the C63 are better than the M3. I'm still waiting for full reviews and not intial tests. Still, this car is super f__king hot!!

Not surprising thsi thing will slide easier because hey, a 6litre engine as opposed to a 4litre engine, it surely has way more torque. Why does it so much power anyway?? i mean, it's a Cclass, and you're putting an engine with capacity that goes into the E63 and S63. How much does this thing weigh?
I am placing my bets that on tracks, not like tracks that only have straights, the M3 will beat it.. and 'more comfortable' doesn't necessarily mean 'less capable'.. BMW may screw up anything, apart from the 3series and M3. Surely enough though, MB is obviously trying their best to get more driving pleasure out of their cars, especially AMG, but i guess 'less comfortable' can simply mean a stiffer suspension which doesn't mean it is more capable.
