Mercedes-AMG Factory Rice

Am I the only one not impressed with the factory rice coming out of MB?

Like the Mercedes-AMG C63S Edition 1.

My opinion is that it looks tacky, with those Honda Civic-esque mods. Is this for those who graduate from VTEC? What are your thoughts?

Do you even know what "rice" is/means? Obviously not!


I guess you just wanted to start another flame/troll thread.

If you want to talk factory "rice" (I personally believe you are misusing that term) BMW is king:

How much extra horsepower does one get from "them there racin'" stripes?

Just an observation on my part.

I remember people modding their civics like this. It's likely where MB got the idea from.

I just wasn't impressed. Troll? Do I have to praise every car? I was looking at C63 pictures today and I came across this pic, and thought I'd comment on it. I like the C63 without this look...

BTW, I like that 1st BMW but not the 2nd.

And Mustangs have had racing stripes forever. Doesn't belong on a V6 (but that's a V8 pictured). More of a muscle car thing than rice.

If I have offended anyone, mods please delete this thread. I understand people might have purchased this model and dropped a lot of coin.

People can get so sensitive about cars. It's still a great car. As an engineer, I have a weird tendency to notice patterns, colors and shapes between unrelated cars right away. I immediately notice these kind of things. Most people don't.

I bought cars too that people immediately talked crap about. Didn't bother me. Everyone has their own taste, that's why there are so many different styles/models. For example, I hate red leather interiors, but many people love them.

So you admit that you started this thread to be a troll!
So according to you the fact that the mustang is a V8 means that it's OK?

So what is the C63?

So why start this thread!?!

Troll!

I admitted to being a Troll? I said, "Troll?". I was questioning why I was being called a troll.

because you came to a place where you know people have purchased the edition 1 and called their vehicle rice!

If you actually thought it was rice, then we can say that you are just an uneducated person... But you knew darn well that it is not rice because you said so yourself when you claimed that racing stripes are ok on a V8 Mustang!

Therefore you posted this thread with the sole intent of getting on the nerves of the people who purchased the edition 1.

Which makes you a troll!

I actually didn't realize people purchased it until I saw someone's signature after posting this thread, I thought it was a limited version that not many people were getting. That's why I posted the later messages.

Calm down

I think it looks great. Not over done, mainly accents. As a car enthusiast, it's pretty sad seeing all the boring, plain colors that crowd U.S. streets. Everyone scared that they are going to offend someone or they will look classless. Being "classy" is succumbing to the whims of society...being a lemming.
I'm all for people who individualize their cars as long as they don't go too far... The Edition 1 isn't too far.

For the people who got the Edition 1s, Mercedes had the guts to do it, so enjoy!

I personally think they look pretty good. I agree that they are not for everyone but at least they are introducing new things to keep the brand fresh. And have you seen the CLA 45 Ed.1 in black? Looks like an absolute monster waiting to be unleashed

Let me guess... She had bright red lipstick on!

I got the Edition 1 mainly because the interior where i spend most of the time. As far as the exterior goes, I would prefer not having the red accents.

She was very attractive to say the least. However, I did the breakdown of the E1 and it really isn't costing anything additional and here's why. The package will read $13,990 on the window sticker but it does include the following:

Multimedia - $2,690
Hands Free - $250
Parktronic $970
Lighting Package - $900
Pano Roof - $1,480
19" Black Cross Spoke Wheels - $2,450
AMG Performance Exhaust - $1,250
AMG Performance Seats - $2,500
Carbon Fiber Trim - $1,300
AMG Night Styling - $750
Blind Spot -$550

The above options equate to $15,090. The whole package with the special interior/exterior details is only $13,990. It's actually a bargain.

YEY, I got an $88,060 bargain. We live in a strange world my friend. Thank God for hard working and living the American dream.
