CLK63 Black Series but actually preferred my C63 more.

J Petros - I just purchased a 2012 C63 with 5,600 miles on it, so I am not looking to figure out what the next act will be. I have however owned a Maser GT. It was an absolutely wonderful car, beautiful, lots of smooth power, surprisingly roomy, handled well, etc. However, Italian electronics are reminiscent of the old Lucas electronics, aka the Prince of Darkness. The last year I owned, it the dealership and factory mechanics spent most of the year chasing multiple electronic issues, with little if any success. The upshot was when the warranty was over, I sold the car. I don't know how prevalent the electrical issues, but I have a client who suffered similar such problems.

I love my C63, BTW.

Do you mind sharing what types of electrical issues you had? Was it just a bunch of little things?

Anyone had a Bentley gt variant? Went to look at a supersports and it's quite appealing
Just don't know if it warrants the price?

I hope the dealer is close by and has an experienced alfa mechanic.
Alfa's spent more time in the shop than on the road.

just an update:

ended up getting a 2012 p31 coupe. nothing else really jumped out at me that i'd be happy with long term. i really want an s63 coupe, but i can't quite afford those yet so i decided i'd just get into this little coupe for a couple years until the s63 depreciates a little more.

Congrats. Post some pics!

The S63 coupe is a sex bomb and I covet it.

Hmmm.....that car sure looks familiar....lol

Yeah it was a big droolfest the other day I forget that you are one of my countrymen.

JPETROS2008 "Do you mind sharing what types of electrical issues you had? Was it just a bunch of little things?"

There was a mixture of big and little, all during the last year of ownership. Based upon memory, as to big issues, it took three or possibly four tries over 6 - 8 months (the repaired or "wiped" system worked for a while, then it did not) to get the "main" or "central" electrical system repaired. I do know the local dealer ended up bring a factory mechanic/engineer over from Italy with the new system he swapped out. In addition during this period of time There were a couple of radio issues, both different if I recall correctly; the windows did not work properly, which may have been a motor issue, I forget; the dash lights twice went through iterations of flashing; and likley others I am forgetting. All of the foregoing were repaired, some a number of times. When I sold the Maserati, all were working just fine, but inasmuch as the warranty was rapidly running out, I was far too spooked to continue ownership. The Maserati GranTurismo was/is a beautiful, lovely, sexy automobile, but ... I think mine was a 2011 BTW.

Just took delivery of this last Friday....

Yeah that's hot

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Not much of a fan of the rims but YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Thank you sir!

Same wheels, same color....

YESSSSSSSSSSS

lol congrats man enjoy it! sick!

This! I was running Ok City last month and saw what I thought was a new C63 coupe in a school parking lot. I ran over to it (there was someone inside so I didn't get too close or stick around--don't want to be a creeper...) and saw it was an S550 Coupe.

What lines! Just a beautiful machine. Now, if they'll just depreciate 50% in a couple of years for me.

Congrats. They are very nice.
Friend of mine has just supercharged his one. Goes like all hell.

The SRT8 was my 'alternate selection' before I fell into this most recent C63.
Working on getting the wife out of the Odyssey into one
