Saw the C63 at NY Auto Show

Went to NY Auto Show Preview night courtesy of AMG. Saw and sat in the C63. Car exterior looks hot in person. Interior looks a bit cheap. New M3 interior was better, new Audi S5 interior was even better.

Sorry, didn't take pics.

In a recent AMG Private Lounge discussion there was mention of AMG wanting to focus on improving the interiors.

I think the S5 interioir is way too fussy. I do agree though that the C Class interior in general needs an upgrade.

I thought that the S5 has WAY to much going on with the center console. There is a million switches and I also though that the GPS was very finicky to use. I currently own a 2006 Corvette and people are always complaining about the interior in those also. The new C Class is a little plain inside but all the controls seem pretty upfront and easy to use. No matter what, people will always complain about something.

I posted in the other thread but here are some pics from the autoshow...

I took a few of the interior, I loved the front seats in the C... those were the most aggressive side bolsters I think I have seen in a factory seat in a vehicle...
