457hp is the European version. I don't why, but they always say 457 (opposed to 451 in the US.)

The article quoted the car as having 457hp not 457ps. We'll find out soon enough.

Yes we will see, this interview was in Europe and the powerplant is the same with no power upgrades for the 2012 facelift.

That's exactly what I thought when I read the info about the estate coming to the US.

I really was worried about the look of the new C63 wooing me out of my current 2011 but in being as non bias as possible because I just bought one.....Im not really digging the new face lift. I actually like the look of our 2008-2011 C63's better.

I guess thats good for me

just my opinion.

What color is yours? Perhaps I've seen you running around Dallas. Mine is Iridium Silver. I'm in North Dallas.

Then you would've gotten a Porsche 997T or the SL 65 BS if you were in US.

not trying to sound biased.... but i like the old style better. i know this will be another great car by AMG, but im thrilled with mine and the tranny isnt a huge deal to me. mine does the job fine for what i do with it. i guess im just partial to the prefacelift styling.
