Good stuff on the 43 Coupe, thanks for posting. Cool to hear that the Coupe sounds more aggressive than the Sedan (as I had read about this in the 63s last week and referenced wondering if it would be the case in the 43s in the other thread). Might sound even better with the Performance Exhaust too?
The only complaint he had was with the steering, more of the same thing I've read before on the 450s lack of feedback. I'm not a very serious or "skilled" driver, so I can never really tell the difference anyway. I just want to be able to drive fast in a straight line and not spin out when I take a curve with some speed; I'll never be on a track in this car. Pretty simple.

Sorry, Not an AMG if the engine is not hand built. That was the whole point of exclusivity to AMG owners. Hand built engine, AMG only parts, etc. Almost every car on the lot now has some sort of AMG decal on it even the C300s have AMG wheels, so people think they are driving an AMG, sorry but no.
It is also going to ruin the AMG name if they keep putting AMG on everything. IMHO

The engine may not be hand-built, but the manufacturer has named the car a Mercedes-AMG C43. Not Mercedes-Benz anymore. It is what it is.

AutoBlog is reporting that "Only compared to the decidedly more evocative Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe does the svelte S5 come across as a little frumpy,"so I'd say it's safe to assume they like the C43.
