I'm not liking the '07 C class coupe at all. Look like a Bangled Mercedes.

However, if that C65 happens, that's the coolest thing ever.

Those aren't the C65 pics. Those are the C55 with performance parts additions. Walter from France has confirmed this.

Those pictures are definitely the AMG performance package from Affalterbach. They have all kinds of stuff over there, it is akin to the competition package for the M3. You get 19's with 265's in back, 235's in front, a 30% LSD, that body work, and some other things, I have a picture somewhere of the plaque.

That is the new C-class, but the decision to even make a CAMG, let alone a C63 has yet to be made in stone. Daimler is getting killed on the conversion rate, though I hear that the EU is starting to slide into major recession, that will fix the aforementioned product. Add to that the new CEO who ludicrously demands that his projects be profitable, jerk, and you get a perfect chopping block which has already hit a lot of Mclaren products hard and may axe some future plans for small production low cost models. I am rooting for you though.

I agree... Looks like an Acura TL. I hate it!!! The 05 C55 looks so much more agressive and stylish! I'm glad I didn't wait for that.

I love the tail and will order the 400hp 7G DOHC V8 C63 2007 soon as it is launched in HK. This is the true luxury interior C-Class and it is the way to go for final justifying buying a Mercedes. Believe or not, all future MBs will have wide grill , I saw the 2007 CL_class , the grill is so wide that possibly taking 60% of the front!

I'd rather just add the Kleemann supercharger to my C55. The C63 will be in my rear view wondering what just happened.

I love the new look, esp. that wide grill. Its a real step on from the current C styling. It'll probably grow on you guys.
