Prior to my purchase of the C43, I owned both a 911 and a Boxster at the same time. I was on 3 different Porsche forums and constantly moved between the 911 and 981 Boxster\Cayman sections. Never saw a condescending or disparaging word from anyone. Just not part of the culture there. Same for BMW, Honda S2000, Z cars, Miata, etc.
This is my first Mercedes and based on what I have seen of the culture, probably my last. I find this analogous to attending an all-marque car show and having a swarm of 6-8 wusses walking around bad-mouthing everyone's ride? Not my kind of car guys! I have seen the same crap on the C63 forum itself. Unlike anything I have ever seen before.
I purchased my C43 because I wanted a fun AWD car that we could use for our cross-country trips in the off-season. It ticks off all the boxes for me. Even during the pandemic, we have run up 17k miles in only 13 months of ownership.
Don't be disheartened by those whining queens. You continue being a gentleman, as we all know bullies are inherently insecure and just crave attention.

I have frequented car forums for over 20 years and have never seen anything like this. I have owned many Porsches and BMW's over the years with no issues.

I'm done w/ this thread. It's up to 3 pages already, in less time than any thread I've seen in recent history, and it's the least useful post on the forum. It's been enlightening, because I have never seen a more insecure and egotistical crowd than the C63 guys that came over, stinking up the joint with their "class". It's clear, you can buy a nice car, but that doesn't change the quality (or lack thereof) of the man that rides in it. To the OP, well played.

You're not wrong. The guys egos are so fragile that they needed to come make embarrassing posts on the C43 site. The most hilarious one was when one of the C class owners told the OP he couldn't afford a C63 and then got hit with a picture of a Bentley in the guy's garage. Classless little boys from the C63 forum running over to the C43 site, begging to see what's in everyone else's underwear, afraid they might own the smallest one in the room. Newsflash, you do. If you didn't, you wouldn't need to come to a forum that isn't yours and whine.

Oh child I bought a badge from Amazon to replace the one I had removed from the stock grille. Came to the thread for a gentlemen like experience of opinions on the new badge as quite frankly I hated it but figured I’d post because maybe someone loved it and wanted to know where i got it lol. But once again another 63 owner making assumptions because he knows everything

how ironic, it’s not about money. But weren’t you or one of your bully friends who said “ c43 owners are so sensitive over their cars they don’t even own, probably couldn’t afford a 63 so that’s why they bought a 43” little do you know that 2012 continental gt I bought brand new, but yes worth like 65k now on kbb. I spent $30 on a grille badge to see how it looked and took it off the next hour lol. Just wanted to send a picture for the community to see if someone liked it as I absolutely hated it and now don’t have any badges on it. But continue with your assumptions, I find it humorous

Remember, there are car guys and then their are car snobs. These guys are the latter.
Let's just quit posting and giving them fuel. However, let the thread stand as a testament to the vanity of some people.

The real problem is these guys are mad at Mercedes AMG not us, however due to their insecurity and lack of ability to actually resolve this matter in a way that will help to hold their car's value better, they come here to whine like little girls and belittle others who enjoy their car as if it will solve anything or as if these cars are not actually great and fun cars. You can honestly say whatever you want, it will not change my driving experience.
None of them are able to fix this and the simple fact of the matter is, when I do go to sell my car, I will post AMG on it and will get more money for it. I can understand your frustrations you bunch of cry babies, now go and actually do something about it instead of spinning in your chair with a thumb up yours posting garbage around the internet. Say whatever you want or get as mad as you need to, bottom line, my car has an AMG badge and it is a blast to drive all year around.
I honestly bought the car to have a AWD car due to where I live. After having the car a few months I fell in love with it and started to modify it. Now I am doing 1/4 mile in 11.5 s @ 120 mph on the street and can drive it when there is a large amount of snow on the ground. I know what you will say, "I can modify my real AMG as well", my response, "Great".
I am still baffled these guys NEED to come here... Please do us all and yourself a favor and write letters to Mercedes, or do anything that will yield you some results instead of being frustrated behind a computer screen, doing what you're doing changes nothing for you. Except that you will need to make another comment after mine to get yourself "high" and feel like your little weewee grew a half inch for ten seconds and the euphoria will be over.
I also don't understand how you can call people from this thread sensitive? You come in here just spitting in people's faces and then you call them sensitive? Regardless of being an AMG or not people are still proud to own these vehicles and you are attacking that, not the AMG brand directly which you should be if anything.
