Must these models continue to gain so much weight? Sure the battery is going to add weight, but there are lighter materials and tech can make some things lighter. It seems that's rarely happening with these luxury performance vehicles.

Has anyone heard of the coupe being updated for the North American market? The last i'd read there was a question about whether MB would continue making the coupe, focusing on the sedan for NA. Been a while since I have looked into this, so am curious if anything has been solidified on that front?

Thanks for the update. This is a bummer, as I really like the coupe more than the sedan. I was hoping they might keep it as they finalize their planning, but it appears that won't be the case.

Same here. I have zero interest in the sedan. Moving the coupe upmarket as its own model, basically like the CLK used to be, could be a good thing and could mean a different powertrain.

Maybe, but even now they haven't given the past two E-Coupe/Verts a full AMG variant, so if the rumored "CLE" were to receive an AMG variant, they'll likely keep it to 4-pots. It seems the V8 coupes/verts will likely be restricted to just the GT/SL. Of course I would hope I'm wrong, but doubtful.

What's really depressing is that MB/AMG keeps trying to validate "63" anything. It used to represent engine displacement, now it just represents deceit. They're trying hard to diminish the remaining respect I have for AMG. Their F1 technology is truly impressive and the way forward..........just call it what it is; C45s AMG, I'd have far more respect for that.

Can't wait for the fake and enhanced exhaust notes. I'm sure there will be fan boys that "love" the new sound.

The automobile is very rapidly being reinvented before our eyes that that rapid development will only continue to accelerate.

Anyone know how long they will continue to make the V8 coupe available in the US? I am assuming there is going to be a year or two lag as the new sedan and platform get introduced. I have been trying to figure out if they'll keep selling the coupe up to a certain point until they solidify the plans with another coupe in the new line up?

You lose the V8, so what do you have left to market a hundred thousand dollar C-class?

I wouldn't be too worried about it if I was you. The alternatively powered cars will have as much if not more power than their ICE counterparts. There's already a fully electric racing league that MB is now part of. Having been raised by an engineer who very much understood that this evolution of the automobile had to happen, this was part of my childhood. The engineers know what needs to be done and they're in the process of innovating to make it happen. No one loved his big V-8s more than my engineer father but he understood that things had to change but still maintain or exceed the power levels that people were already used to.

All of this talk of the future WITHOUT ICE powerplants is disheartening to say the least. I appreciate the advances MB has made in F1 with the hybrid powerplant and could see owning one. However those of us who are so passionate about the V8 and its sound are a generation that no longer influences the market. It makes the loss of my 2020 E63s EDP order all the more painful since I'm not a fan of the facelift changes. Heck I'm even considering a C63 Black Series just for the engine.

None of these changes are good for car enthusiasts.

Disagree. The vast majority of AMG buyers hardly use anywhere near the power the cars produce - so trading the one piece of the car that differentiates it from everything else for a slight bump in HP doesn't make much sense. One of the major driving factors of this change is the Euro 7 (soon to be Euro 8) emission standards - and one of the consequences for the performance market of these laws is the trickle down of progressive legislation; mainly the Intelligent Speed Assistance implemented for Europe next year, and will soon to be reflected in the global market. Essentially the shift in emission standards also includes a higher margin of safety standards which removes the freedom of the driver.

Well if its for the better, why not, but yeah there will have to be some serious compromises with these new regulations
