I'm sure this has been beaten to death but I really prefer the C43. Aside from the oval pipes which I prefer - the diffuser appears to be more aggressive. The C63 has a piece underneath which prevents the look from popping IMO.
Thoughts? And before anyone makes the comment, no I couldn't afford a c63
This thread is worthless w/o pictures! That piece is called a splitter and it improves the aerodynamics and airflow underneath the car. Here's mine with carbon fiber and AMG Aerodynamics package. You might be talking about the sedan, but the skinny hips of the C43 coupe/sedan are no match for the wide hips of the C63 coupe. The C63 sedan unfortunately doesn't have a wider track in the rear, so the rear ends of the C43 sedan and C63 sedan are very similar.

Most people think the wider stance and body kit on the C63 look better. I tend to agree with them.
I bought a C450 because my wife and I wanted AWD and she insisted on it. We ticked all the boxes on a custom build for a C450, so it was definitely C63 $$$ we spent. When the C63 goes AWD we might take another look at it but I doubt I'll bite. I'm not totally sold on the brand and it's reliability. MB needs to be more rigorous with the standards of it's service departments. They kiss your butt and offer you tea and bon bons, but I had more consistent positive service outcomes with Ford. And I've had more maintenance visits with my C450 than I've had for all the last 5 cars my wife and I have owned combined. I definitely will not keep this car outside of warranty period.
In defense of MB, our C450 is a beautiful car and a blast to drive. Also, our GLC43 has been very reliable.

C63 coupe is one of the sexiest coupes for sure. The only MB I like more is the GTS, the base one without the big wing.
ill take the c63 rear diffuser over the 43. thats the only difference on the sedan. all else equal. coupe is amazing being wider. take that over any sedan for looks. but the sedan is a sleeper. people dont expect to get rolled by a 4 door.
