do i upgrade to a new 2014 c63 (coupe or sedan)?

i love the current rims i have in the 19" and would love to use them on another c.

are they going to follow up with a new c coupe in the latest design/generation?

thoughts?

New C Coupe is due in 2016 I believe. That is only 5 years after the C204 was released.

Hello Andrew, it's a shame you'll be departing from your C204 coupe it's got to be one of the best MB products released to date certainly seems to be the case on these forums that most people have leased cars and short term only ownership, looks like I'm in the minority with owning my vehicle outright and for the long term.


But anyway on your future intentions above changing to a 204 series C63 is a welcomed thought for anyone, I've had one for weeks at a time (coupe variant) and it's a fantastic vehicle.


I would suggest the coupe because that's the variant your already used to and IMHO as well as actual fact the coupe is the top performer amongst all the variants.


The only negative couple of aspects I have on the C63 is that if it is to be used as a daily driver with a reasonable amount of intended mileage, the fuel consumption is unbelievably high or bad, it can consume a whole tank in just one day of driving and if your not careful your rear tyres will be used up in no time at all, so it has very high running costs especially in some Countries where fuel and other consumables are not cheap.


As weekender or occasionally driven second or third vehicle it would be more suitable.


As for your 19's you could obviously fit them up onto any 204 series variant, but if you get yourself a C63 IMO I would stick to C63 specific 18 & 19" rims that are a part of the C63 variant, much better look IMHO.


The new W205 series will definitely have a C205 coupe variant, all reports suggest a 3rd or 4th quarter 2015 release, with an AMG C205 C63 coupe arriving sometime in 2016.


That's actually what I'm waiting for myself, ie. a C205 C63, if it ticks all the right boxes then I'm getting one to compliment my C204 coupe, either that or an upgrade of the CLA45 which should be released around the same time, either one of those 2 AMG models will do nicely

The 2016 C63 coupe should be better on fuel economy. The new V8 is only 4 liters if I'm not mistaken. Kinda makes the 63 meaningless, but that's how they're doing it across all product lines nowadays.

Yes, the numbers are all out on the consumption of the new M177 4.0 TT for the 205 series C63 and it works out to about a 1/3 reduction which is substantial and a much better proposition as a daily driver compared to the M158 6.2 N/A.


The new M177 will also in time have mega tuning potential, just look at where the M133 2.0T of the A Class AMG's is at and if that's an indicator for the new M177 it's going to be a monster powerplant

Your wheels look great in that pic BTW. Did you lower it at all?
