I like it, looks a little more manly than our current w203.. wish they would have flared the fenders a little more like the s class.. Maybe they will with the AMG version. This would looks much better on 19's lowered.. Looking forward to seeing them on the road..

Nice..........wondering real world pricing with sought after options on the C63. I will definitely keep an eye on it as I am considering a E55 and CLS55 also. With proper tuning and add a SC and one is looking at over 600hp.

already

already dropped my deposit for the W204 C63 AMG 480hp, 67kg/m torque 7Gtronic. but would probably change it to a CLK63 C210 2009 if they follow the BMW E93 to have a RHT. or it is juts pointless to have a old style soft top convertible these days. With 480hp, I would not mind if the RHT puts on another 100kg weight to it.

I don't know abt this one. I still think it's ugly. Still dislike the interior, and still hate the steering wheel. I really hope it'll look so much better in real life, just like the S-class case.

And why would we want that?

I want the C63 to have...wider fenders, different front bumper, the works basically to make it very distinct from the C350 with the sports dealy. And of course there isn't going to be a manual tranny, so at least stick with the AMG Speedshift? Screw the 7G, I want 600hp in my C!

Has it been confirmed yet whether the C-Class will get the 6.3L engine de-tuned to 475 hp or will it be a 5.5L engine tuned to 430 hp ???

I have not met an ugly Benz for a long long time. In fact, only until recently, especially when I started my DIY detailing of the C55, I noticed W203 is a beautiful car with all these nice curves. Some time we have to look at a Benz at different times, focus on different details of particular elements. I don't care whether W204 is going to be ugly or smart, my only one issue with W204is whether I have the money to get the most powerful version and maximum options in it possible. And, yes, I agree, we must look at the car in real to get the 3-D visual details. The E90 I have, it does not have all these curves like a Benz and most body parts are just flat and straight lines, pretty boring. Remember, a black car does not give the details of reflections and curves as better as a silver car for example. Other matters, I don't really care. Benz never builds a car which does not look good after years.

I am also a bit scared by the W204 rear. Positive thinking it carries the S-Class rear spirit but not as cool as the S-Class rear. Negative thinking, the rear looks like a Camry's to me. I hope it is just the 2-D photograhy issue, I guess I will accept the rear as it is.

Love the front , thick grillie like M or R class; this car gonna be a hit. I must control myself.....hope I could be patience enough to see the manual double clutch(-less) planted into the AMG version....

Just picture it with better wheels, lower with the AMG suspension, quad tipped exhaust and a spoiler.. In the last pic the back really looks like a baby S class..
