C63 BS vs CLK63 BS comparison - Car and Driver

http://youtu.be/UP-yRxVTrdk

Thought you guys would enjoy this comparison. Unsurprisingly, the journalist is kinda annoying. He thinks the CLK63's interior is from the 90s! Not sure what he was driving in the 90s!

Still, it's always good to see the two BS cars reviewed back to back.

Enjoy!

A slightly used CLK63BS you can buy today for half the price of C63BS which are either sold out or marked up to the moon. I'd buy the CLK63BS.

It became painful to watch simply because of the presenter so I did not finish the video. He seems too keen to criticize the CLK just for being old.

The video clearly needed Chris Harris.

+1000!

Yet another supremely irritating American auto journalist! I could barely get to the end of the video, but I tried focusing on the cars. Here is a thread I started about this very topic that was moved to the "off-topic" forum. https://mbworld.org/forums/off-topic...ml#post5348949

I drive a 2010 C63 and I am beyond happy with it!!!!!!!!! With my mods and current car "needs" situation, the is NO car that surpasses the C63.


I would take/KILL for a CLK63 in a heartbeat!!!!!!!!

That guy totally missed the point of the clk63BS. If you can't understand the purpose of the clk, then not sure your the best guy to critique it.

I wonder what Chris Harris' perspective would be?

Exactly doesn't matter the car gets older. For example I love the old w124 E60 beauty great to drive. Even the w210 E55 is great to drive very relaxing yet sporty not very pretty. It's not about how old it is all amg's are nice to drive even w201/124. The clk black is very very special amazing to drive.

I wish magazine people would stick to writing and leave the videos to the TV people.

I am getting so tired of all of the auto magazines thinking that their editors are people we want to see on videos.

Most can't drive and they have little perspective to offer opinions.

This video is a perfect example of that. They have two incredible cars and an opportunity to do a fun head to head comparison and the result is an editor that stumbles on his irrelevant subjective comments.

Nice 10 and 2 hand placements.

This had so much potential.
