255s in the front, 285s in the back, with 4Matic and that will be the day...
Haha I completely agree. I probably think of Honda Accords first because I actually think they look great and usually take a few seconds to admire it when I see one
That's what a lot of people said about the previous C204 lol 
Subjectively you could draw a similarity looks thing on just about every car out there, I mean Hyundai's and Kia's look like Audi's these days etc. etc.
In isolation is how one should view a vehicle in the case of the S & new C coupes which will look almost exactly the same as well the result is for most concerned outstanding

I forgot to ask this question as well... How do you guys know for sure that there will eventually be a C63 Black Series? Like in the past there was no C63S so how do you know that the black series will come up? + do they usually reveal the black series in the first year or last year?
Thanks a lot guys! Sorry for the questions, just too excited

Why would it? The last C63 Black Series was unveiled pretty much the same time as the all new C Coupe around this time of year (at the 2011 German GP). BS comes at either the beginning of a cycle or at the end.
With those fenders and tires, 99% sure that this will be the black series. I will be very very surprised if the standard C63 coupe runs different tires from the C63 Sedan.

I hope so! I just don't see Mercedes making such a drastic change for a single model. It would drive up their costs to have such a big difference between the sedan and coupe on a regular production run. The C63 is their bread and butter AMG model, so any big changes would cut heavily into their bottom line. I hope I'm wrong though.

One good piece of news is that the seats are 20mm lower. New coils and lower stance for the regular coupe.

In a bid to endow the new two-door with more determined driving traits than the four-door, Mercedes-Benz has fitted the new two door with uniquely tuned springs and dampers. “We’ve gone a fair bit firmer in rebound, but the ride remains compliant,” says Früh. Other changes to the suspension include larger diameter anti-roll bars and firmer bushings than those used by the C-Class saloon.
The revised suspension has been lowered by 15mm, giving the C-class Coupé a lower centre of gravity than C-Class saloon. The prototype we rode in was also shod on optional 19-inch wheels shod with 225/40 profile front and 255/35 profile rear tyres, giving it impressive lateral purchase. The overall impression is of a car with eager turn in traits, low levels of body roll and solid levels of mid-corner grip.

That's an old render doing the rounds for a long time now, it looks accurate enough but is wrong in some details like the rear view mirrors.

Nice find. Looks like they really are differentiating the coupe over the sedan this generation to make it more sport focused - this C300 Coupe they tested has more aggressive tuned springs/dampers, larger sway bars, a lower seating position, and wider tires than the sedan (rear 255/35/19's on the RWD C300 coupe compared to the 245/35/19 rears on the RWD C300 sedan).

I've mentioned this in other threads, the C204 was also made differently to the sedan W204 as well in the above regard it's not something new beginning with the 205 series, that's why I always mention the coupes are more dynamic than the sedans
The C204 has different chassis and suspension and steering set up from the W204 sedan (regular variants) making it more dynamic, there's a distinct difference between them if you've driven both you'll know what I mean, the coupe has a tighter more responsive body feel and steering responds and feels better.
However design wise it's good to see that the new C205 coupe will be further differentiated from the W205 sedan with a more unique rear end and tail lights unlike the similar looking W/C204 in that regard.
I hope we do see AWD on the C205 regular C63 at least as an option and not only just for the BS if that's what AMG are planning.
