17 C63S Coupe
If you have to switch your C63 into an SUV now what would you get?
As titled, I'm facing a condition now where I may have to let my C63s coupe go and switch to an SUV 
.
Wondering what you guys would choose personally and any suggestions.
I'm currently looking at:
the F-Pace SVR (which I don't know when they will start landing in Canada)
the Macan GTS (I like the current gen but new macans are just announced)
Range Rover Sport supercharged V8 (love the SVR version too but way too expensive)
Also interested in the new X5M, Cayenne gts and Velar SVR, but dunno when they'll be released.
What do you guys think?

Mainly because they have the same engine. The m177 engine is awesome but I kind of want to experience some other ones. Also the glc63 didn't get the all new C class interior and steering wheel which is weird.

F Pace ... Great exterior and beautiful interior . Porsche is overrated , lag behind when it comes to technology inside and in my opinion ...ugly . Range Rover have too many problems and take forever to get body parts and are one of the fastest depreciating vehicles on the market in my area at least

Of those options, the Macan is by far the best driving SUV by a long shot. GLC63S has the best engine, but the interior is a bit dated already and the high cost would make me consider other options in that range.
Personally, I'm picking up a CPO Macan S for my wife next year. $35-40k will get you into a nice, loaded, relatively low-mile Macan S with extended warranty. The news ones do look pretty nice though with that lightbar across the taillights.

2016 AMG C63S 2015 Porsche Macan 2014 AMG A45 Edition 1 (sold)
My other car is Macan and loved it so much, I will say it is the most satisfy car ever own. Good handling, comfort, practical, love the looks and styling!
Recently I have test drive my friends RR Velar 1st Edition, it is luxurious, comfort and powerful. But don't really like the double touch screen dash control. It's a nice car but need to add lots of option and it going to cost you.

The SUV that I wanted was a Range Rover HSE LWB but I quickly learned that it was out of my price range .
I ended up with a Volvo XC90 R-Design with the 22" wheels, carbon interior and upgraded stereo. My payment (with no money down) is $785/month for a 3 year lease and a 12,000 mile/year contract. The truck is really nice inside and the upgraded stereo by Bowers and Wilkins is probably the best factory stereo that i have ever heard. It is very low on power, the brakes are so so, it handles pretty good and leg room is ok. Overall I am happy with the purchase for the amount of money that it costs me. I did not look at any Porsche SUV's but i would assume that those would have cost me a lot more money.

2018 C63S Coupe
It all comes down to what you are going to use it for..
SUVs are multi purpose vehicles and that encompasses a large number of tasks to be accomplished, different than our C63S, which are either sport sedans or sport coupes/convertibles. They serve a sole purpose which is Luxury Performance. I think your first step should be to determine what will be the main purpose of that car for you.
I used to drive a ‘15 Macan Turbo that was tuned and putting around 440awhp to the ground screaming with a straight pipe exhaust, it even reminded me a little of my GTR engine sound. It was a load of fun to drive on track days and I could fit 5 people on it for the weekend. It drank half the gas of the 63, could fit all of my wife’s Home Depot inventions on the trunk and I got a great deal on it being a CPO with less than 10k miles from Champion, but I wanted something different, I’ll have another SUV later in life when kids are coming along and I actually need the extra seats.
My current ‘18 C63S Coupe is obviously a lot more fun to drive and has a much better interior. I also love looking at the cars lines, something that I didn’t appreciate as much in the Macan. SUVs are just not good looking cars. Their proportions are weird and even though Porsche improved on the Macan it is still not a stunner like the new Panamera IMO.
I also had the opportunity to drive the FPace and the Velar. I think the FPace is better on the interior than the Macan and it has more space on the back seat, but it would never be as fun to drive or have the parts availability to tune / modify it like the Porsche. Same applies for the Velar (at least for now..).
If it was my case, I would wait a little longer. BMW is coming strong with the new X3/X4M and that engine platform is heaven for tuning capabilities. Mercedes will likely refresh the GLC interior on late 19 on a facelift to be up to par with the whole line. Anyways, good luck on the search!

Yea if you just need more space or trunk area, get the E63 wagon or even the E450 wagon... I have an E350 wagon, love it..I just don't liking sitting up in a car.. and easier to get things in and out of...
If you need the higher ride height I'd say just get the GLC43/63..or a GLE 43/63 AMG
