C or E
MY 15 and 16 C63S will be sold or leased at a premium. Discounts and deals will be a while. On the other hand, E63(S) has an established resale valuei for leases and is due for a facelift inside and out.
The question is: would you get an E63S over a C63S if the deal numbers are close?

I have not driven an E, so my opinion is based purely on reviews and my sense of the car from its size and shape. For me the E is too big, too heavy and too much of a tourer verses a sports sedan for my taste.
On the other hand, for about the same money, it would be hard to turn down the extra luxury and horse power of the E. Nonetheless, I think I would pass on the E.

2015 C63 AMG S Edition 1, 2021 GLS63, 2020 McLaren 600LT Spider
I had ordered an E63 S back in February to replace my aging C55. However, two weeks ago I was in the MB store and they literally just received the new C63 AMG Edition 1. I drove it back to back with another E63 S they had and it was no contest, the new C is so much more track focused and razor sharp as conpared to the E that I bought the Edition 1 on the spot. I have loved it ever since and doubt I will ever regret the decision to bail on my "still hasn't arrived E63".
In the end it is such a personal choice that I don't know how much advice we can offer. If you want a great GT car with all wheel drive and a nice lease rate, get the E. If you want laser focused with some hooligan track days thrown in here and there, get the C.
Good luck with your choice.

'20 GLC300 SUV
The E-Class is not due for a facelift. It already had one.
It's due for an entire redesign in the next 1-2 years. Spy shots of the next-gen E63 are already floating around.
It will be getting the new 4.0L biturbo V8, too. The S model could be pumping out close to 600 hp as well.
Just FYI.

19 E63s, ‘24SQ8, wanting another gas guzzling V8
It sounds like you maybe concerned about money and if the deals are close, you might save more with an E63S. If that's possible. Also, the E63S is going to be more refined and probably turn more heads. Just my $.02. I have never drove the C63S but I have drove a few E63S's and they are wickedly fast. Like YellowJacket said, 4 doors and you still run with the exotics and embarrass a few others. E63S!

2015 E63S AMG & 2013 GLK350
Very tough choice, the cars I think are built for very different people. I was in that boat, not for financial reasons but choosing between the w205 C63 and the E63, and to be honest don't think you can go wrong with either. Coming from a W204 C63 I was really looking forward to the W205 but as nice as the new C is for me the E just offered a lot more. After spending some time with the new C63 I don't regret my choice. I can't think of a better car than the E63 for my needs. Just did the Hot Rod Power Tour in June followed by a trip to Key West before returning to NY - 6160 miles in two and a half weeks with my wife and daughter while still able to drag race, auto cross, and high speed runs with comfort and ride quality that brought no complaints.

The E63S is out of my price range, and even with incentives, it is still out. Are you talking about lease terms? In that case, I can see them being closer. And E is very attractive for sure, if I was in the lease boat, and willing to wait, I will pick the E for sure because of the mature status symbol.
