What do you think? Do you believe that AMG would bring a new model out that is slower than the previous one

Your worst nightmare...
personally i like the C32, but the new C55 is niceee! and of course has like 20 more horses, but the sound of that supercharged engine is sweet!, when you step on it and redline it, it is just awesome!

well a kompressor would mean SUPERCHARGED so no... if it was it would be the fastest production sedan offered by MB IMHO.

in terms of speed, on MBs website it states that they're both 0-60 in 4.9 seconds. I've personally was able to drive my friends C55 (i own a C32) and honestly, although the C55 may be nicer interior wise, and exterior front-end... to me they're the same exact car. both have there shares of plus/minuses (more minuses for the C32, i guess). just really depends on the amount of $$ you dont mind dropping on a C-CLASS. C32 would be slightly less then a C55 based on same mileage, etc...

OVERALL
0 - 100mph = i think C32 would pull ahead but not by much (thank the komp for this)
100+ = i think the V8 of the C55 would start showing the V6 C32 whos boss.

7th paragraph says it's a little slower than C32, but then again there's a lot of factors to take into account. Just like what the previous post said, I don't believe it's slower.
