So I've been thinking about the C205 C63 AMG coupe and I'm left wondering if there is much of a market left for it. My reasoning is as follows:

C204 507 coupe have a new sticker 75-90k
the new edition 1 W205 C63 is estimated at 80-90k
I think this leaves the new C63 AMG coupe pushing over $100k well equipped.

A new GTS is $129k. I know that may be a lot more, but if I wanted a new coupe I'm left wondering if this is where I would/should spend my money.

I dont think there will be a 10k premium just because its a coupe, I expect it to be around 90-95k fully loaded. It still has a place in the market, it competes with the m4 rs5 and rcf and if its over 100k its no longer in the same place as those cars. Just below 100k is a nice spot, it will likely be the most expensive in its segment and at the same time there is over 30k difference from the GTS.

I'm sure there is a place for it. The old C63c was 1/3 to 1/4 the price of an SLS so they certainly didn't compete for market share. If the new C63 is 3/4 the price of a GTS I'm at least going to take a look at both.

This is more a function of the GTS lower than (I) expected price.

Im not sure what SLS has to do with anything nor did I say the old c63 competed for market share with that car, but the GTS is a much cheaper and more focused sports car, its more of a 911 rival. Thats the reason they can make the c coupe and gts so close in terms of price. One is a track focused 2 seater sports car, the other is a 4 seater sports coupe. It's like saying the CL65 and SLS are competitors when they are really not, even though the price is similar.
