Well, she's home at last!
Wanting the C63 since it came out and I placed my order back in May and finally picked her up today!
Test drove these cars on many occasions, but I put 120 miles it today alone.
First impressions are
I'll write a review at a later date and post more pics, but for now.......
Some quick pics:

 

Awesome, well worth the wait. Congrats!

 

congrats... i didn't think they were out yet but makes sense since it is the Fall already. How much did you get it for?

 

Very nice! congrats.

 

Congrats! You'll be replacing those Continental tires in no time.

 

Congrats, it looks gorgeous

 

ugh. gorgeous. congrats!

 

Sweeet... whats with the Conti's though?

 

Its about time your baby arrived.. Very nice.
I tinted my widows right off the bat at the dealership. not only keeps the interior cooler, but IMHO really enhances the overall look of the car.

 

Congrats and welcome to the club. Invest in tire and gas companies

 

thanks a lot guys!

gsrjc--long story but I ended up getting the car for invoice and a healthy trade on my CLK500--but that was after three dealerships and much haggling. Originally the dealer only wanted to give me 3.5% off MSRP, I got about 7% off.

The Conti's are what they are and will be replaced in no time I'm sure!!
And the gas guage is already at 1/2 and I've had the car less than 24 hrs--hahaha--I smile at the Prius owners

RAKLAW--thanks again for the boat tracking info from the PL--I don't know if it made the last couple weeks better or worse From the day it landed at port to my garage took only 1 week--that was fast through customs, etc. Thanks again!!


So far my first impressions have been better than I thought (and I had high hopes)
The sound just doesn't get old at all
I've been babying it for the most part, but I have gone over the 4500RPM a few times by accident
This car makes me feel like a hooligan and I just love everything about it--yes I could do with more leather and less plastic inside, but really??
I love the Alcantara steering wheel and originally I was not too excited about it, but wow it feels so good, although I will invest in some driving gloves to help prolong the life.

The handling feels really good to me and dare I say BMW/Porsche-esk.
The overall drive is all good IMO and I've driven a lot of cars and consider myself a picky person about the total package--I feel this car has it all
I know I'm still under the "new car spell" but I can't imagine having too many complaints about it.

I feel that the car handles bumps fine and have no complaints at all and I live in pothole riddled New England! I don't get the complaints about the suspension--I know some of the P30s had the different suspension, but I feel no issues at all.

The Carbon Fiber Trim is a luxury, but since I have the P31 w/ the CF trunk spoiler, I feel the CF Trim inside is a must and it ties the car together nicely--I think it helps elevate the interior and I'm "happy" I dished out the $2500 for it.

As I thought before, the orange reflectors and the silly door pins must go--especially the door pins, they poke my arm when I have it out the window and they just look terrible IMO.
But this car is just intoxicating, I actually came home for lunch today, just so I could take it out for a spin (it's my garge queen so it doesn't go to work).

That's it for now--I gotta learn the tech stuff and setup the garage door BS and then I have to just put more miles on it to get past the 1000 mile mark, then all hell will break loose!!

 

Car looks awesome.

Congrats.

 

Congrats,sweet, "Whip"

 

Never mind the car, that's one clean and organized garage!
The car is good too

 

Yeah, I don't really care about the car, but that tractor is sweet. I always wanted one as a kid. Now I just pay a gardener to cut the lawn.

Just curious though, are are the 2011's coming with Continentals standard?

 

Black is where it's at! BTW, what kind of garage flooring is that and where can I get it?

 

Sweet ride you got there. Good luck.

 

Quote of the day! This is EXACTLY how it makes me feel.

Congrats & keep us posted!

 

Congrats..Have fun & drive safe

 

haha--yeah the tractor is for my whopping 1/2 acre yard--it takes me about 45 minutes to mow from start to finish and that includes the time for tossing down a few nice beers (it has three cup holders, go figure)
I do enjoy doing my own gardening and have quite the selection of other toys for such!

the floor is RaceDeck and is AWESOME took me about 3 hrs to put down, kinda like big Legos--expensive but worth it IMO.

The garage is still a work in progress, but thanks for the comments.
I figure a nice car needs a nice place to sleep

 

I think the Contis are standard on P31--someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I thought all C63's came with Pzero's. Thats why I asked. How many miles was on your car at purchase?

 

My 2011 P31 come with Contis.

 

My 2010 comes with P-zeros... maybe the Contis is a 2011 thing?

Sheep

 

My 2010 P31 has the Contis also.
