2009 c63 or 2010 E550 coupe? help
For the life of me I cant make a decision on what to get. I have changed my mind 10 times.
Background:
Drive 2003 M3
Age: 28
Status: Single
Looking For: Mercedes $70 k range.
I like the AMG beast look of the c63 with all option, but I also like the luxury look of the new e550. The price pretty much the same.
What do you guys think?

Fafali> Even though you're single now, do you ever have to ferry more than just one passenger around? If you do, just be aware that those backseats have quite modest headroom, just like the Audi A5/S5, BMW 6 series, or any other coupe's.
That's the price you pay for the sleeker lines, I suppose.

C63
No offense but I don't get these choices some of these people who ask about the C63 vs E550, S550 or even S63 AMG for that matter.
The C63 is a sports sedan and is purely aimed at enthusiasts. Cars like the E550 is for luxury and comfort. Why would anyone decide between those two very different cars. Even other AMG 63 or 65 cars are too big and bulky to be enthusiast cars and they are just luxury rockets.

It all comes down to what is more important to you. Performance and practicality - C63. Newer body and style and luxury - E550 coupe. The interior of the new E coupe is definitely a few levels better than the C63. If you are not into taking a car to near its limits, get the E coupe. The 550 engine has plenty of power for most people.

I debated between the C and the E... 63 that is! Personally, I think C63 vs. E550 is cross-shopping.
The only advice I can give is to settle in your own mind whether or not you want a high performance, kick a$#, luxury sports sedan.
P.S. If you make a certain choice... just don't hate when the AMG goes flying by!
Buyer's remorse is a cold SOB

- If so, well then there it is right there. [Hint: C63]

I was thinking about the same thing a while back, and here is my bottom line: if you want speed and max fun with your car then go for the C63; if you want better technologies, i.e. the radar driven Distronic-Plus and the open, no B pillar look, then go for the E coupe.
