My 09 C63

It arrived late yesterday in the early evening, the dealership is still doing PDI and detailing but I've having second though after I drove it. It's very small, I've a C350 as well and with the arrival of my boy in about 1 month, I might have to pass on this one to get into something larger (SUV).

personally I would put your baby priority first. bone jarring ride for a new born I don't think it's that good of an idea. just imo.

That's probably the revised Monroney sticker - they don't dare call it PP anymore.

As for something bigger to haul a SINGLE kid... dude. Get a grip. I have three kids and dealt with it for 18 months with a two seat M Coupe. I actually managed to take two at a time stacking them and belting them in. But enough was enough so I upgraded to the larger C63 just to haul them around.

LOL @ C63 forum.

if he feels the car is small why "trying" to convince him otherwise? Those of us that had the C32 and C55 never bothered with this. If someone has other cars that he may prefer better, so be it.

cuz the US spec doesn't offer the LSD as a stand alone... but what PEET said makes sense. I hereby revoke my . No offense intended... I was more jealous than anything and about to call my dealer!

Those with the limited PP that's how it is shown on the sticker. Not as PP but the LSD and delimitation are shown separately.

Three kids my friend, two are 9 & 8 and a new born coming soon. At this point, Im going to pass on this car and will place the order for the GL550 cuz the wifey wants it.

I fell bad for my sales guy but family comes first, besides, I still have my AMGs.

Looking at your window "sticker" it appears that the LSD is available without the Performance Package. Is that so? I was configuring a car at my dealer today and I don't recall that being mentioned.

Its probably not available. This is just how these "mess up" cars are going to be stickered though.
I looked at and test drove a white C63 with LSD today. Not bad

I have a beautiful 2008 ML63 - all options including the rear dual entertainment system - and am trading it in on the C63 (due in later September).

I am in NY, but.....let me know.
