Did anyone checkout the White C63 At the L.A show?

Wondering how the seats, nappa leather, wheels and the fenders looked in person

 

i went to the show, and from what i remember, they didnt have the car open for seating/viewing up close. they had it on a stage showcase. it looked real nice and agressive. ironically though, they had the s63, clk63 black series, and e63 on the floor in which you can enter the car and get up close...

 

Thanks for the reply, not sure why they would not have access to the C63 Amg

 

that seems odd.
could they maybe making some last minute changes to the interior perhaps?

 

Same here, the car was not open and was roped off on a stage so you couldn't get a close look at the interior. As for the exterior it looked great in white, the ribbing on the hood looked sweet.

 

My hopes are real high on this!! I'm hoping it comes out as a 2009 with a redesigned interior!!

 

I went to the show, when i went the clk63 black series was not open to the public, but the s63 and e63 were. man oh man...leather soooo soft on those cars...then i saw the price...eeep!

 

I was there too, Black series CLK63 was locked, C63 was behind ropes. Did you guys see the Lexus ISF on the dyno outside?

 

yeah you guys are right, my mistake. the clk63 black series was locked, but it was on the floor for closer inspection and feel.

and yeah i saw the project is-f. i loved it. sooo sick, and the black matte was amazing on it. heres a pic i took

 

You guys went and didnt take any pictures????????

 

here are some pics:






the car was on a stage on a rotating platform where no one could touch it or sit in it. many cars at the show were similarly situated where you couldn't sit or go in them...

 

Haha you wish. It won't happen. Regardless how ugly it looks to us, MB didn't design and approve the interior overnight. It was analyzed and thought out numerous times over a comfortable period of time. So there's no reason for last minute changes. Slightly improved interior during facelift, maybe.

 

Thanks NLPAMG,
Your pics shows very well the white color and I think majority of the members on this forum buying the c63 class will get it in either white or black

 

THE DOOR WAS OPEN AND U DIDNT TAKE ANY INTERIOR SHOTS?!

oh and thats the five axis is-f it looks terrible

 

oh come on dude... IT WAS IN LA AND YOU SAY YOU'RE IN LA! maybe you should have gone if you're that crazy about it.

I did take 1 interior shot but it didn't turn out that great so I didn't bother posting it.

Plus, I wasn't very impressed by it in person, nor am I planning on getting one, so there was really no need.

 

I had a chance to go LA Auto Show on the Press Day and was able to sat in the C63. Pictures are following:






My opinon about the interior: The seat is A+ which hug both driver and front passanger really well. I am not sure about the pop-up Navy ... still trying to get use to it. The back seat space: right on the spot but no extra leg room. Thats when the front driver seat is set on my 5'10" comfy driving position. Overall interior finished: A .. would love to see Mercedes use full leather and better interior trim.

 

LA = Louisiana.

haha just kidding. I did go, but i didnt have a camera so i didnt get to snap any pics.

 

For those who saw the white in person is it real white or pearl white?

I saw the C350 in white and I thought C350 in black looked better over white C350 .

I also saw a Ibis white S5 at audi dealership and it looked stunning and i think photos cant compare to how the car looks in person

Does the wite C63 look much better than white C35?

Thanks

 

yes i saw that ISF..crazy!! the line was too long, i wanted to get inside. i stood behind when people were gasing it. LOUD haha, i have video of that, ill try to post it. japanese v8's sound much different than american ones thats for sure

 

Don't rule it out. MB quickly changed the interior on the W163 in MY2000 to the nice soft materials. Also they changed the interior on the MY2005 SLK very quickly too.

 

With those to changes you describe, were those cars new designs at that point? In other words, did those interior updates come shortly on the heels of a new design, or had those two models been out for a while before the update.

It just seems to me with the redesign of the C-class coming what... 7 or 8 years?... after the previous design, it's hard to imagine them changing much any time soon.

 

You don't need to see it in person to know that that is gloss white and not pearl white - the reflections in the paint give it away.

I think the large door mirrors on the new C-class give it an unfortunate big-eared look.
