C63 S550
Im coming from a M3 so ever since I saw the new c63 Ive wanted it. But now I noticed the S550 is the same price as a C63 (used). So now I cant make up my mind. I know they are entirley diffrent cars. I dont know just cant make up my mind. And now GLK is coming out! I dont think MBs have ever been this cheap. And the quality should be better than under the Chrysler adminstration.

Well I stand corrected. I thought that the matte black C63 was the worst looking one I'd ever seen, but this one easily tops it. What is going through someones head when they decide they want their car to look like that?

C63, GL450, Panamera S, lots of little British leakers
Seriously?
They are two very different cars that share the same parents and DNA...
I love the S550.. it is a tremendous touring sedan with more than adequate acceleration and handling for its size, and ours is loaded with features and gizmos (AMG pack, voice command, night vision, etc) that continue to amaze and entertain.
That said, its no canyon carver. The C63 I drove was much more of a running mate for your M3. So, it all depends on your priorities.
Do you want a world class luxury sedan that drives and handles well. or do you want a kick *** perforamce car?

I agree with you. Just swapped my S550 for an '09 C63 and while I do miss the keyless go and smooth "feel no bumps" ride, I am happily bouncing all over the place in my new C63 speedster. Actually, on open road the C63 is a smooth ride, but on lesser kept roads u will bounce around in your seat quite a bit but I think it is well worth it for the speed and handling like I never had in the S550. The S550 is no speed and handling slouch, but C63 is on another level completely.
