From AutoCar UK.
Prices for the cheapest model in the four-strong line-up, the saloon, start from £64,000, an increase of £3500 over the outgoing model though, Mercedes says, with significantly more equipment. The C63 S saloon costs £73,000, a rise of £5700 over its predecessor. The most expensive model in the new C63 range is the C63 S Cabriolet, which is priced from £79,000. First deliveries are scheduled for October.

I think most of, if not all c63s models upgraded to the premium package in the UK. So perhaps they are including those options as standard.
9 speed plus digital dash and a few tweaks should not add up to £6k.

Another good C 63 S video from the NY auto show...
And he confirms the color is indeed “Graphite Gray Magno” (reads it off the key at 13:58) — somebody tell Tobias it’s not matte black.
I’ve seen this guy’s videos before... super detailed reviews in hi def, with some dry humor in a German accent - informative and entertaining. And sort of reminds me of Gabe from The Office.

From the press release/details above: The impressive driving dynamics are based, among other things, on the elaborately retuned AMG RIDE CONTROL
Does this mean they addressed the harsh ride? if so this is big news.
I also like they made the sport seats ventilated.

Based on the discussed changes I am still overall excited about the updates and think there is a lot more that is good than is bad. In fact, the only thing I am less than thrilled about is the new front grille (which looks awkward with some colors). If there are issues with the 9 speed I am sure MB can get them sorted out in due course similar to the way that the 7 speed improved over time. As long as the hardware is solid then the rest can be addressed via software tuning.
