List of improvements for the next c63

Mercedes! Please improve on these things !

1. please include a true double clutch transmission! Current tranny is too slow to shift!

2. less chrome!- damn chrome emblem on the steering wheel blinds me all the time!

3. trunk - feels too light and "cheap"! pops up like a honda accord!

LSD. Besides that C63 is solid performance out of the box!

Only thing that needs to be improved IMHO is wider tires.

Everything else is perfect.... The MCT is an awesome transmission.

You don't want a heavier trunk on these cars do you? They are already a bit on the piggy side of things....

Better balance between handling and power without compromising its current torque and power however they do it, Im sure AMG is capable of achieving that. They have improve interior style but I want to see better plastic materials. MCT is awesome! Very smooth during cruising speeds - quick and aggressive in other modes, does not necessarily have to follow DCTs. Maybe achieve even faster response when shifting. Lastly, I hope the next C-class styling would even be better (more aggressive) and not be like the up coming BMW 3 series style - looks updated and backward styling.

2012 C63 coupe
Wider fenders with 255/285 tires... think C63 BS. True dual clutch tranny. Lose 250lbs. Keep everything else the same.

Result is an amazing car that would set the standard in its class.

MB is learning. They are giving their AMG division much more control over the designs and that will result in much better cars in the future.

you're right, i should mean "feels" heavier. I think the pop up trunk just doesn't close with the right heaviness the doors and even the hood feels like.

Make Race Start idiot proof. You need a degree in computer science to get it to work.

Wider stance
Upgraded technology - apps, SMS/email compatible, web browsing in the car
Pano roof on sedan
More aggressive styling to distinguish versus other c classes
A/C seats
19's that fit right within the wheel wells and still maintain an aggressive stance

And of course, more power/performance/biturbo v8/DCT is always appreciated

CF roof will be better. Panoramic roof will mess-up the whole stability of the car, by moving the center of gravity.

Turbochargers and a standard LSD would be my biggest wishes.

M3 - C63 blk/blk ordered
If the competition like BMW goes to smaller displacement with turbo or supercharging, how likely is MB/AMG to follow suite?

If we were describing M3s we would be asking for less horsepower and the torque of a C350. M3s dual clutch will never compensate for its lack of power

A set of 275s completely change the C63

Not interested in a CF roof...I want the pano. They made it work on the E63 and even C63 coupe, on the next model they most definitely should engineer the car with this in mind from the get-go (as they did with the coupe) and we should be good to go.

And yes, it's funny looking back at all of this so much describes the M3. Too bad the M3 has no ***** - maybe this thread is better suited in the hands of BMW engineers to realize wait a sec, all these guys would be all over our M3 if it just had some guts & aggressiveness to it!

As long as they don't drop the torque. A big letdown for me coming from RS4 to M3 was giving up the torque. I love the handling, but miss that day to day pull fellow rpms. Really looking forward to my C63 coming in.
