um, maybe because they wanted to keep the base price low?

Exclusivity. In relation to the M and AMG, RS models are pretty scarce. As Audi produces more RS models (which they said they will do), I think the price will go down.

and both can get to $60k very quickly with options.

I still would like to have the MCT on the AMG and the DCT on the M, but not sure being a new product will have too many bugs.
If thats true that would be good. BTW the New M3 coupe is 3,704lbs according to the BMW site Sedan is a little more.

i like to ride my bike
the C63 comes with cloth/leather seats in Germany as a standard, why wouldn't it come that way statewise? On the other hand it doesn't cost you 85K either so why shouldn't they just throw in some Nappa seats.

beige seats with a black cockpit are also available.

even the plain-old S models are pretty premium'd over bmw and merc, but maybe that's because more stuff comes standard?

i'd love to get a merc with cloth instead of leather. my parents bought their '98 ML 320 on special order with cloth interior. they had to wait 6 months for the build, during which time the dealer offered them several leather models that they turned down. unlike many a leather car that's 10 years old, their ML's cloth still looks brand new.

cloth definitely wears far better than leather.

MB, BMW
good price.. and given the *****TY, abysmal resale value of MB AMG cars, C63 will be dirt cheap in 2-3 yrs..

Compare the A4, A5, A6, and A8. Those are fairly in line with their BMW and MB counterparts.

The S does seem to be slightly more expensive, but they're all all-wheel drive. I can't really speak about standard features, but remember that optioning a BMW and MB is more costly. Getting "sport packages" on a MB or BMW cost anywhere from $2K to $5K, whereas an Audi S is already considered a "sport" model. They equal out pretty quickly, although I think Audi's are still more expensive in the end.

Where do you see the 2 year residual value at

Any thoughts on where the 2 year value will hit -

How does 56% sound?

Did you say keyless go will be available for the '09? As minor of a feature some people consider it to be that would make a huge difference for me.

if you look at a spread of all residuals on MB @ 24 mo's, average is 60%, with outliers being the C Class and E320 Bluetec at 68% and the SL65 at 49%....

2008 C63 AMG (Base) $53,800
Destination $825
(775) Metallic Paint $710
(P02) P2 Package $1,350
(320) Multimedia Package $2,950
(057) iPod Integration Kit $375
(359) TeleAid $650
Gas Guzzler $1,300
Total $61,960
Article also mentions the Nappa Leather Seating Package Option (318) for $2,950 which includes:

(242) Power Passenger Seat w/Memory
(275) Power Driver Seat & Steering Column w/Memory

So I'm guessing $64,910 fully loaded?

Pricing is spot on...to compete with the M...

The C63 is awesome, MB definitely stepped up their game and hit the mark...

Price

It makes you wonder what it's all about , just did the spec on my C63 and final price is £55,000 or approx $105,000.Thats without keyless go or P30 sport pack! [ But hey machine should be here end of April ]

Okay so my car will be in right hand drive,surely were not getting shafted beacuse of this.I would have thought here in the UK -being close to MB Germany the price might have been a bit fairier.

You guys in the US are really lucky to be able to purchase for $60,000
