I am thinking at the end of my lease, another C63 sedan. Nothing really competes with it in my eyes for price.

As I do have a growing family, I see an in-between step, a car between the C63 and E63 as the XFR. Nearly got one last time around and in Canada it fite perfectly between the C and the E. A C63 is 65K, XFR 85K and E63 105K. My nexy one will be one of these three plus the CLS63.

Everyone and their mother in Ottawa is driving an effing C Class...it's disgusting. They are everywhere like an epidemic. The new C63 blends in too well which is kind of disappointing for me. I like a car that sticks out a bit like the 1st gen C63...not that it would stop me from getting another, just a minor lament.

I may go Jag just to have something different.

I got a gt-r black edition last month. Best frickin decision I ever made.
And with a mid pipe I will get back some of that intoxicating exhaust growl I miss so much.

And the interior is absolutely fantastic. Dont know why some would say otherwise.

I would probably get the next version of the c63...or upgrade to the SLC if it comes out and AMG dont mess it up. SLS is too large and show-offy for me so a baby SLS would be perfect for me

In keeping with 'exciting four door v8's'... Id go with another C63 (2013) after that maybe a CLS63. (maybe M5, thats also a hot car!)

C63 to a 4 door sedan = M5
C63 to a 2 door sports car = GT-R
C63 to a SUV = ML63

The C63 is my DD and I have a wife with 2 small children that I often place in the back with their Child Seats ( well at least they have Recaro boosters). I love the C63 AMG for its understatedness, and class combined with the out of world performance and fun. I like the E and C class AMG's for their interior size accommodations. Obviously the E class is better for fit, but for this stage of my life, the C or CLK chassis is just a whole lot more fun for spirited driving then a midsize E63 or M5. Those cars are wonderful cars, but too big to really enjoy a spirited romp, let alone any time on a track.

I am scheduled to drive a Ferrari FF and California this month, so I'll see how these 4 seaters feel. I really prefer a 612 one to one or Sessanta, but this only has 2 doors. However, realistically, I don't think I can replace my DD with an exotic like a Ferrari, Maserati or AM. I think as my family grows, I would most likely be changing the C63 in a few years with a 2 year depreciated CPO E63, CLS 63, PanameraS or M5. All fabulous cars that I cannot wait to be the steward of.

4 door sports sedan - CLS or new E63 with the 5.5TT - performance with a few minor mods will be incredible.

For just the cool factor get a used Superleggera or SLS.

He said next step up. Not if you won the lottery tomorrow.

I think some of you guys are mistaking the OP's thought. He means whats next, not what is your dream car.

Have you seen this yet? 2013 GT-R ran a 10.87 @ 125 mph stock? Very crazy.

I would also consider the GT-R for my next car. But I won't be getting a new car until around 2015/2016. I actually plan on holding onto the C63 till then. By that time the GT-R may be even faster. I would also consider the next C63 platform or possibly E63.

It is a great question and one I don't have an answer for. I agonized for ages between M3 and C63 and decided as a DD the C63 was the go. I like the Aston but I want 4 doors, I like the panamera but it is huge. Luckily for me I have 3 years to make up my mind.

Nice!
The GT-R will be a monster with a few bolt ons but the GT3 will be the more involving car imo. Either way, Both are great choices.

Being a fan of the AMG and MB cars, for me it was a no brainer going from my beloved 2008 C63 to the SLS, it wasnt really supposed to happen that way as it was a C63 Black Series that I had ordered about 10 mnths prior but got fed up with the delays and non answers to my questions regarding these delays so I cancelled and went on to the SLS which I only dreamed of. As some of you know, I test drove many cars that I thought would replace my passion from my C63, such as, 2012 Jaguar XKR ( no XKR-S available) and that car was a dud for me, then a 2011 Maserati Granturismo S which I found very dissappointing, it broke my heart as I thought that was going to be my replacement, then a 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB which being a few years old, the mechanics were telling me that I was looking at about $10,000 to $20,000 in service/maintenance a year, that was not going to happen for me...so for those of you that are fortunate, I would strongly recommend and getting the SLS, this car is more than I expected and my passion just got even more obsessive with the SLS.

I suppose however there are several things that you have to think about, budget being one, use, etc. I love the C63 BS but as it is a coupé it is not practical in the least. I've heard great things about the E63 TT but on top gear they said the new M5 is the bast car in the world. I might go for the new M5 just to try it, but as i am highly satisfied with the C, i'll stick around with AMG I want my next car to be an SLS, even if i have to wait some years.

'spiritually' the SLS is the step up from the C63. I drove one end of last year on a track. It's the C63 on steriods: faster, louder (oh yes!), handles better and makes you feel even more special. If reality (price) is an issue then it's a toss between the E63 and CLS63 with the bi-turbo engines. :-)

I'm currently leaning towards the facelift E63 when it comes out during the E's midlife facelift.
