I'm pretty sure if the company that built the vehicle (Mercedes) calls it an AMG, Vin says AMG then its an AMG. Next ya'll say the new C63 isn't an AMG because it has a 4 cylinder.

beautiful car and was looking at that option but my first car was a c300 and always loved the c class body a little more. maybe if i spent more research and test drove one i wouldve gotten the e63 but when just looking i couldnt get over my clear bias for the c class

Not the poster you were responding to, but after a certain threshold, what’s the point?

Why can’t people just like what they like? Why does a 63 owner even care about the perception of the 43? Is it like some kind of ego thing? Like, “I have the best inanimate object, even though Ferrari owners think I have a glorified taxi”?

I had a W204 C63 for 5 years. Loved it. I wanted to take a break from seasonal tire swaps and wanted AWD. I also got engaged, and wanted a car my fiancée felt comfortable driving.

C43 met those needs. With the equipment I selected, it was a little more expensive than my ‘13 C63.

Absolutely considered the W205 C63, but with the forced induction, it wasn’t nearly anywhere as special as my 6.2L NA, and in terms of usable power on the street, there was virtually no difference to me between the C43 and C63 from an acceleration perspective (except the C43 hooked up laughably easy on crappy stock all-season RFTs in wet conditions).

If the C63 was available in AWD, I probably would’ve given it the edge because I’m a sucker for the tone of a V8. That being said, on the street, there’s just not much difference between the 2 that doesn’t come down to personal preference.

come in here quick to make immature comments saying c43 owners dont own their cars just to hide the fact you probably dont own yours. let me buy your 63 so i can throw it in the trash

Darosen1

i probably dont own this car either

I think the whole debate is asinine at best. I bought my c43 coupe, not for its AMG badge, but because I liked the car (fun car in stock form, extremely fun as modified). I would assume (or at least hope) that those with the c63 bought their car for the same reason. That is a lot of money to pay for a badge if not. Then, at the end of the day, why is the propriety of a manufacture’s decision to affix three letters to a car badge even relevant (let alone the apparent dispositive beginning and end of the discussion for some)?

In sum: (1) unnecessarily poking members to get a rise out of them and then calling them sensitive misses the point entirely: why does it matter to you, or anyone, in the first place?; and (2) on the other hand, why does it matter what anyone thinks anyway (enjoy the car you spent a considerable amount of money on)?

We are all more alike here than different. Why there is in-fighting among and between people so similar is beyond me. Since we
cannot dictate things outside our control; let’s all enjoy your cars and I can promise I will do the same.

Ya I don't understand the fight at all. At the end of the day, we all drive Mercedes right, if that is the case, aren't we all supposed to be gentlemen since we are driving these cars?

Best non-useful thread I have come across so far. This is the perfect trap for catching douchebags, good thinking @Darosen1

1) Go to the User CP option on the main page

2) Scroll down to Settings and Options and select Edit Ignore List

3) Enter the username of each of the annoying posters

4) Suddenly, I can’t hear you anymore.

5) You will see their name, but you will no longer see their posts.

6) Block them out and ignore them!

7) They can then practice their NMM elsewhere. (Narcissistic Mental Masturbation)

Is it just my imagination, or did I here someone yelling for attention?

"hear"
No wonder you're renting a fake AMG. 🙄

Howyalivin

More uninformed people. Shouldn't you not respond to topics unless you're better educated in them?

Howyalivin

It's not your imagination. Their fragile egos are screaming in pain.

E55Greasemonkey

Even MBWorld knows the truth.... Look at the name of this forum. "C450/C43 AMG"

Howyalivin

Do your best to avoid the clips from multiple places where stone stock C43s outrun C63's through the quarter. I wouldn't want your fragile ego shattered. A prepped race surface doesn't exist in most places, and AWD makes a big difference.

////AMG_C43

Couldn't agree more. These guys have me thinking.

So if Cylinder Head can drive an E63 that's really just a 4.0 litre (E40?) . . . . and we all know that's not the real-deal NA AMG 6.2 liter . . . . . and the new 2022 C63 is going to be a-4 banger . . . why don't we just change our C43 emblems to those of a C63 and make everyone happy?

No more bad, bad, C43. Then we can all then come together in one big AMG 63 family. Just trying to take the high-road and appease these guys who are so hung-up on names.

Further, I could then eliminate these fine gentlemen from my Ignore List! (Give it a try, works great!)

Already working on a new ID Plate for our engine.


Jeez man . . . . .It's a real AMG!!!

Howyalivin

because the C450 AMG is enough like it. Much like the FB forum that is C43/C63 Owners group. You keep stepping right in it and making yourself look foolish. You're the one that jumped just the other thread and immediately disproved the "classy" claim made by another C63 owner, literally right after him. It was actually poetic. He had to have face palmer over that one.

Darosen1

the lack of maturity and intelligence from 63 owners makes me so glad i didnt purchase one. Really tears away from the gentlemen-like experience i was expecting from a mercedes forum. All this talk from keyboard warriors makes me even more proud to own a C43 AMG

Howyalivin

You're not wrong Darosen. You're new to the forums, but you've shown more class by far than the C63 guys. Welcome to the forum.

places

The guy is buying badges from Amazon and asking people where to place the badge. Obviously lower level stuff based on insecurity. 63 owners are more inclined to remove the badging.

places

Well at this point the debate will turn into what SHOULD an AMG even be. C63 is now C63e. Entirely different conversation and thread.

places

We already won. These guys are playing catch up...and always will.
