I guess that's cool, but at what $$$? I could understand having one in an oversized SUV, but in a C class sized car? Just my .02, but if I can help it, I'm not going to park close enough to someone else as to have to need one.

you can always add the camera aftermarket if you want which may be beneficial if you can work out a great deal on a specific car.

09 c63
get an 09 left over brand new and install the camera after it will be way cheaper and you'll have more money for mods. But in the end you cant go wrong either way your getting a beast of a car, you'll be going to fast to see anything behind you anyways.

I would say get an '09. You can get midcity engineering back up camera for like under 1K. I'm sure with the left over 09s you can get a pretty good deal on it...plus on top of that I think the 2010 is marking up the price as well.

Camera is not 1000, its more like 200 without installation, but its fairly easy to do yourself.

It's like $200 for the camera and some of your time (search the threads). Plus, since I'm in a "it's like" moood - it's like getting $7,500 off the best negotiated price you can get on an 09. So think in these terms...

1) get the 09 for, say, $10k off list
2) spend $200 on camera and install it yourself
3) take $9,800 left over and buy headers, intake, tune, track time, suit, helmet and whatever else

or

1) buy car at list price and have factory camera.

Your call though.
