This may just stray me away from the M3 if the numbers are right. MPG will play a BIG role in my decision. Rumor has it the refreshed version would come with a Start/Stop system that would turn off the car when it came to a stop.
Also, is the MCT a duel clutch transmission?

I still think it's a ****ty move from MB to makes us all feel like we're driving previous models of the W204. Believe me I like the changes, but IMO they are too extensive.
I would be furious if I bought my C63 now and in 3 months got overtaken by ^ this on the street !

Gotta admit though that the pre-facelift car looks a lot more aggressive. Didn't realize until now that it has a single "gill", not split like the current one..
I'd like to see how this transmission compares. Looking forward to the coupe.

A good little read to people (like me) who did not know what the MCT was about exactly:

I actually miss the option of airmatic in the C63. I've realized this winter with the E63 that raising the car a few inches really can make a difference

True, I guess I was reffering more to styling, rather than internals.
I don't think the front looks as aggressive. Look at the side gills, just one now reduced from two. I like the single front chrome bar and star, but I don't think it looks as aggressive when its shorter lengthwise, but more aggresive in a longer wheel base. Also, they got rid of the side amber light. If we all darkened the middle portion of the bottom bumber, I think our cars would look far more aggressive than the new look.
They also got rid of a headlight bulb? That additional bulb and bigger housing widens our front which IMO makes ours look beefier.
Don't get me wrong, I really still like it, but I am not losing sleep over it. The interior will definitely have me cheating on my 2010 by fantasting about it though!!

I think i'm gonna try it on mine when the snow melts...maybe with some vinyl first....just to get the idea.....i did a quick photochop with my car and i kinda like it....plus i don't have a front plate so you can see the whole bumper

2009 c63
In case any of you wanna get an idea what our current model c63 looks like with the middle portion blacked out here is a few pictures of mine. I had it done last spring and I think is makes the car look so much meaner

Not really feeling the exterior. Losing the power domes on the bonnet is a shame and still no decent rear wheel arches. I don't like the single slat grill either.
Integrated LEDs i like. Rear diffuser is an improvement. Speaking from my experience with SL63 faster shift times are are a dream come true though .

I am officially going to hold off until the 5.5L gets dropped! Happily disappointed!!...anyone else feel relieved (other than the MCT) after seeing the new release?

Personally, I'm not a fan of boost. I prefer the feel of NA engines. So, the C63 is still an option I would consider. I'm glad they got rid of the fog-lights and all the chrome.

Power Domes
Hell, I bought my C63 in October. I feel kinda foolish now that I have an out of date model. But I take comfort in my power domes. I feel like I am behind a rifle sight with those lateral bulges and would not change it at all

It looks good in white! Not sure other colors would show off the changes as much. The rear looks a little busy IMO.
Progress is good business for MB.
I kind of want one, but being happy with what I've got means more money for beer, pizza and vacations.... Hmmmm

Hahaha......tempted my friend???
I'm not surprised one bit about the changes that the facelifted C63 will have over the pre-facelift C63. Let's hope history repeats itself.
When MB revised the C32 into the C55, there were changes to the steering, track width, suspension, transmission (proper manual mode), and traction control (equivalent to the C63's middle setting), such that the C55 suddenly became much closer to the E46 M3 when it came to handling and pace on a track in terms of laptimes.
With the MCT and revised suspension of the facelifted C63, I'm hoping the exact same thing happens this time. I'm actually hoping to see adjustable dampers like the E90 M3 too.
IMO they should have waited with the completely new front and the new interior. I have my C since 2008 so I know it's not a new car but the people who bought their C63 in the last month or so wont appreaciate MB's strategy.
C32 -> C55 they basically changed the engine, gave it bixenon headlights, and a new navigation system.

There are going to a lot more C63's for sale in the next year... I wonder if it will drop the 08's down into the $30k range? I might have one sooner than I thought!

I like the headlights and taillights... other than that I think the current c63's hood, bumper looks A LOT more aggressive. But than again MCT is going to be nice.
