I abhor the yellow stripe on the rims. Looks like those stupid gators people all over this town have.

Without the stripes (and the trim on the wheels) is how I prefer it.
The question I would like to know is the following: How many holders for meatloaf does it have?

The C43 AMG is not anywhere near our cars IMHO.
I drove it on track and on the road at a C43 intro a while back.
I am not a fan of the paint scheme.
Having said that, two weeks ago this dealer had a convertible in white with the red soft top that looked pretty nice.

C43 is the continuation of the c450 aka the c400. It's a 6 cylinder. 4 liter twin turbo v8 is the 2015+ c63.

Is the 4 liter twin turbo v8 sometimes referred to as "c43"? I ask because this particular car in the showroom has a "C63" nameplate on the back (look closely at the photo of the rear) despite the smaller turbo engine, and the nearby salesman referred to it as an "Edition One".

If it is the C63 then it is the 4L V8 Twin Turbo at 469 HP vs the 362 of the 3L V6 Twin Turbo in the C43. The C63 S puts out 503 hp.
The edition 1 has 20" wheels carbon fibre front rotors, special seats and body kit but same output as the S. List is north of $175000 US as I understand it

I thought it was the C43 and could not read the C63. My bad.

I used to dislike the 205, but lately it's been growing on me. But my plan is to dump the C63, buy a G63, and get a track car of some sort. I've found that driving a street car on the track isn't very fun for me. A proper race prepped track car is a different story.

My local dealer called me trying to get me to upgrade my '12 p31 to a new c63s.
I dunno man, still not convinced of the new motor and dont know if i can live without the noise my '12 makes..

I like most things about the 205. But I still cannot get over the soft rear styling. It's just a non-starter for me.

I agree and they are short of head room in the rear seats. They just do not look like a traditional Benz. It seems BMW can change designs yet retain some of the heritage character in their cars.

The strawberries and cream 507 though carried the color theme into the interior. This gray/yellow C63 Edition One in the OP photos did not - the interior had no yellow. I was unable to snap a photo of the interior as the reflections off the glass windows overwhelmed the view of the interior, and because the car was already sold, the doors were locked.
