The C is a lot lighter and feels even lighter than it is. Handling, feel and tightness is incredible. Suspension is nearly perfect in every regard, firm but yet still pretty compliant. Seats are snug, but not uncomfortable. Interior room is surprising, especially in the back seat. Engine torque is plentiful, but smooth right up until redline. The transmission is a huge improvement over the 5speed in the CLS.
I'm coming from an RS4 and the CLS was just too much of a change. The C63 on the other hand is a great stepping stone from the RS4. I really quite love it! The only thing I'm worried about is winter. Luckily the new S4 should be out by then, and may make the perfect stable mate for the C63. SebringSilver's had the right idea all along!

The CLS felt a ton heavier, in every respect. I called it "tank" because it was one solid car. Feel how heavy the doors are? The torque was absolutely addicting, simply incredible. Nice solid highway cruiser, and had the "looks"

Now I'm in a new predicament: I'm trying to find something that would be a complement to the C63 and the S4. I'm keen on getting a 2-door coupe of some kind, but not sure what would be suitable. If I do get a 2-door, maybe I can trade the S4 in for an SUV of some kind.
