Yeah I've heard mixed reports on the C63 use of the new motor also. This does go against a statement made last year in which AMG advised in an effort to reduce emissions all AMG cars would use forced induction by 2011.

Where is the Technical guy from?

Tell that to Brabus. Sounds like MB is already trying to spin doc in order to keep both ends of the financial spectrum happy.

The guy was from Affalterbach and was up with us on the winter sport driving academy in Sweden and he told me this in Feb before the official release from MB this week.

It will be interesting to see what/if the C gets. I already canceled my 2010 order.

This happened with the STi every year since it came out in 2004. OH....wait till next year for the new dual clutch tranny, or flat six, or a HP bump for sure, or this and that.

Enjoy what you have now, you can always trade in.
