yeah the CLK63 is way overpriced.. and its old like you say..
no need to buy that now..when a new one is around the corner..

the M3 always has a superb price.. its always a bargain for what it can do..

the RS4.. well the price is one of the things i hate about it.. its redicolus..

PS
All RS cars are like that.. look at the new RS6 it costs 101K euro..

Dont forget that Coupes are more expenesive than Sedans. 4-door M3 will be cheaper than M3 Coupe.

Edit:

What if Mercedes is planning to build a C class coupé?

...do you think is it a possibility?

It's already being built. It's called C SportCoupe.

I hope that the new CLK 63 will have a much more competative price.

I suppose this is the place to mention this useless fact.

There was a C32 AMG Sportcoupe version available on special order only. Not many people know about this. They always think the only AMG C-Class Sportcoupe was the C30 CDI AMG.

Thats right, there are a few pictures out there. I think they're all on JESMB.

and now this mag says its a deadlock
ofcourse a real test will break out the goodies..
but this is as good as it gets at the moment..

PS
The price Kicks ass..

note that you pay extra for leather and metallic paint in the M3
i think thats standard in a C63.. right there the C63 becomes as expensive or less expensive than the M3...

Yeah, good job by MB. A proper transmission and looks like it will be a genuine alternative to the M3.

As for the point you make about cost, don't forget you have to pay for a limited diff in the case of C63 - which I guess is more important than metallic paint or leather and probably way more expensive.

Can't say i'm surprised,i actually expected it to beat the M3 oh well i guess a tie is a good enough.So the C63 is faster in a straight line and handles as good around corners...awesome

I beginning to believe the CLK is in a class by itself. At 481hp it`s actually more powerful than the C63 451hp or any of the so called "competition" from the M3 or RS4.

At 481hp the CLK63 is in fact even more powerful than the 476hp E55 AMG

No one here has ever, ever noticed that!!!

You can bet the next CLK will raise the bar class wise and might be closer to it`s mother the CL-Class. The AMG version should get more than 500hp and slaughter anything in it`s so called class. We need to look at the CLK more perspectively.

Good point, and CLK63 is also priced closer to M6 than M3.
