However, the drive was great. The 4 matic is perfect, wish the c63s had that would be more fun during launches and corners
Lot of slack going on in the thread, chill out guys. If you have a problem with the C43, keep out of their threads

C43
No butt hurt here. I wanted the pure AMG experience. Otherwise I would have just gotten a S4 or something in the sub-400hp.
When you buy a AMG it's status, performance and style. I know when I pull along side an M3/4 or a Cayman, I have a beast who will get their respect (even without racing). With a C43, that is just not going to happen. That was a big deal for me!

C43 Coupe
Unfortunately they do not. I did test out a C43 the other day and its body did not look like my coupe. No wide arches in the rear.

2017 c63s
Since amg began and thrived by building motors, I consider the one man one motor philosophy the core of what makes an amg.
I consider the c43 along the lines with the BMW m sport and the audi s-line. The a4 s-line has a lot of the same styling and components but the motor is just not the same as the s4. The BMW m sport has the aggressive styling but a completely different motor than the Ms.
I feel that Mercedes decided to take away the amg sport brand and just sell them as an amg to bring customers into a higher price bracket. Amg sells and we are all proof of it.
If the car works for you then great. I will, however, argue that there is a difference between the c43 and c63.

However, visually you can definitely see the difference in the 2 cars. Both front and rear arches are more flared out.

Per MBUSA.com specs, no the C43C has the same dimensions as C300C.

I was only referring to the difference track width between the c300 and the c43. I'll have to dig through some of the other threads to prove my point (I really don't want to, I'm lazy lol), but a member posted the differences in specs. It wasn't even a major difference.. I believe it was within an inch of a difference.

And I think by the way this thread is going the only one making a fool of themselves is you.
