C300 Sport/Palladium Silver on Black/P2
Wow. This is going to be a real treat! I watched the M3 show, but figured they'd never do MB, since I figured they sponsored it or something.

Can't wait now!!! Some genius who wrote the program info for guides though calls it a C6.3 haha.

That show is so full of crap though. The car manufactors must pay serious bucks to get their cars on that show because they never ever say anything bad about a car. Not to mention they will have a guest or two thats on the car manufactors pay list (i.e. racer for their team) and they will talk about how great the car is, go figure they are getting paid to say that! It is however entertaining to watch them tear the cars up

It wasn't as good as the show on the M3 IMHO. A lot of it was some drifting AMG course in Sweden that got boring, and wasn't even C63 exclusive.

5am PAcific Wednesday 8 Am eastern Wednesday morning it replays, so record it then, if you missed it.

Agreed! People that missed the show didn't miss much. They really didn't concentrate specifically on the car much at all. Even the second half after the ice drifting seemed more about the drivers competing than the car IMO.

Was it like the E92 M3 show? Even that one wasn't that great.

Wow. I thought I would be the only one to think it was boring. I did get a good idea of who the majority of AMG owners are though. I guess the high-dollar cars help them cope with certain inadequacies that come with getting older. Or, the cars give their younger wives something exciting to play with. It's too bad.


Juuuuuust kidding.

Mainly, it was disappointing. Driving around sideways on ice proved absolutely nothing. And on the dry pavement segments I mostly thought about the tires and how many sets they destroyed.

Funny nobody mentioned the punishing too-stiff ride. The new CAR magazine has a three car comparison test (C63 was NOT the winner) and the driver said one of his aims was to keep from hitting his head on the ceiling.

Yep, they replayed so many of the slides and whatnot too cause it was almost like they couldn't get the 45 minutes together cause they had nothing to say. ha-ha.

You really got the feeling the compliments on the M3 were more genuine. ha-ha. I love the C63 more, but the M3 Speed show was a lot better.

I used to think this way but being middle class in my thirties, a new kid, and other priorities in life I can see that when we get older there just may be more "disposable" income.

I initially wanted a C55 AMG as I love the AMG cars but used is all I can safely afford but for a nice clean one the prices are right there with a new C350. Owning new cars for so long I had to stay with the new car choice.

I will most likely be one of those old guys driving a high end car as I do love cars ut of course once retirement and my family is taken care of first.

Me too. I was just joking around. I've been a car nut since I was a child, and will be forever.

One of the participants of the AMG Winter event said that you had to be there to appreciate the fun and experience of the event. She said she thinks she was the one driving the C63 about to be pulled out of a snow bank by the G-Wagen if you remember it.
