For the C63 the 4matic is off the table completely.

To me the car is showing great balance under braking and Acceleration. Even when the Race Driver "who's name i don't know" has the Traction fully off. The car shows a great deal of traction which he is able to manage with throttle response. The Video is not in English, But the C63s does a great Job Translating it to any language .
When I watched Chris Harris videos I had some doubts. Never mind I not had A LOT of doubts about the car because he barely covered how it drove on the track under race conditions. All he does or did is Drift Drift Drift which tell you **** about the car. Glad I found these links. Though I share them and hopefully they help other with their Doubts or decision on the Car.

PS
JPMBenz When I am talking about Media I am not Speaking about you. I found your Review to be Very helpful.

Haha! It's all good. I don't expect everyone to like my review. I just figured it's a non biased review. I appreciate the BMW & Audi Brands. They are both strong competition to the AMG vehicles. In sales I have learned never to knock the competition. Rather say what they do well; we do a lot better. I was with BMW for a total of 9 Years. I know there product very well. I just feel that lost the sense of being the "Ultimate Driving Machine".

I wouldn't say that completely. I did read that it has to due with time at getting the car to market. We may see AWD introduced at face lift.

Just saying what Tobias Moer is saying for now. It's possible in the next generation or in the future because who knows what they'll do, but currently it's off the tables. Also I'm guessing this is another reason why MB introduced the C450.

Never say never, a few years ago BMW swore that that no M car's will be turbo. Every car they sell today is a turbo...

You never give the first model 100% of what you have, you add awd down the line to stretch the product life cycle. This car will be around for 6-8 years and MB will keep on adding hp, awd, features to stay current.

I will have to see it in person, but I find it lacking , not as imposing as previous C63s.

Thanks for sharing

I was still staring at the black screen after that second video clip ended . Wow what a car!!
I have heard and read a lot about the exhaust sound not being as good as the w204. JPMBenz has been saying all along "just wait and see".
Haven'theard it in person yet but I'm with JP, what a sound. GREAT job AMG

Whatever dude, the difference was subtle... just like they are now with the W205.

The length of the hood doesn't have to be that much different now because they are only trying to squeeze in a 4.0 instead of a 6.2. But that's about the only spec that the W204 AMG variant has changed more than the W205 AMG variant.

That is pretty much the AMG formula. Drop in a bad @ss engine, suspension changes, and subtle interior/exterior changes.

At least with the W205 they changed the bumpers whole look. The W204 C63 is just a little different from the C.

W204 C63 had a longer hood... W205 c63 is a longer car
W204 C63 front bumper barely changed from the regular C 350. W205 has a whole different bumper.

Both have different hoods, both are wider in the front than the entry level but the same in back.

When you compare them to what changed between the entry level and the C63 the W205 seems to have more of a change lol

Edit: **** quoted the wrong person lol

Talked to my dealership a week ago and they said that the production date for my car still is March 11th, and the planned delivery date is April 24th. (1 day earlier then before). Going to contact them again March 11th to ask them for weekly updates.

You can barely tell the difference...my point is way too subtle for my liking but for others it may be something that is more inclined for their taste. There was nothing subtle about the previous C63.

The w204 c class to c63 changed less than the w205 c class to c63. If you have a 507 that's a different story. You have stripes and hood vents too.

Bottom line is they nailed the performance and ride trade offs and will be a much better daily driver. Enjoy!

I noticed that the Palladium Silver 63 didn't have the upgraded exhaust and it still sounded pretty throaty when it was gettin worked over. Nice work, AMG.

If you want an "in your face" AMG then you have to buy a BS. Lately we have been given the option of buying a 507 or edition 1 package for more visual distinction.

AMGs have always been about subtle looks and blatant performance.
