Contemplating Buying a C32
Hello everyone, Im a new poster in these areas. I currently have a c230 Kompressor and have been thinking of trading it in for a C32. My cousin has one and I fell in love with it. My only concern is I have been hearing rumours of the new C55 replacing the C32. Does anyone know when the C55 is set to replace the C32. I was reading it was set for release in Europe in Febuary so does anyone have a date on when it will be released in North America

The text on that link about the C55 says something about the C32 retaining certain characteristics as if both models would continue on, did anybody else catch that? I'm 99% sure that the C32 will be replaced by the C55 though. The C32 is a great car and likely can be modded for greater power much more easily than the normally aspirated C55.

C32
Without official confirmation one can only speculate. But it is extremely like that the C55 should replace the C32 for the following reasons:
1) Audi has a V8 in the S4 so MB and BMW will need to shoehorn a V8 in their respective cars to compete
2) Affalterbach can now only focus on the 5.5L engine (maybe some pinkslips)
