2023 Urus Performante 2018 Huracan Perf. - 2017 Ferrari 488 GTB
Got a 2018 C 63S yesterday...

Long story short. Had a 2015 C63 S, loved it. Truly one of the best cars I've ever owned. Traded it in when my GTR arrived. Still wonder why I did that to this day- lol. Eventually needed a daily and got a 2018 GLA 45. Had it for less than three months and wasn't feeling it. Decided to axe it and go back to my true love - C 63S. I'm not concerned about the panamericana grill, new steering wheel, digital dash layout and nine speed transmission on the mid cycle refresh. I like the old style grill and the cockpit guages work well for me. Steering wheel - no biggie and the same with the trans. So I was fine with a 2018. MSRP was a whopping $94,465 this thing was loaded and I got it for $84,999. Being winter where I got the car and the 2019 order banks opening next month - they wanted it gone. I had no qualms taking it off their hands. An absolutely fabulous car. Here is the build. Plus a shot of the departed GLA 45 and last but not least my new baby.

Both cars look great. I had an a45 and experienced the same feeling as you regarding the gla 45. Just seems to miss something.

One thing I find odd is with the Designo seat combo there is no 12 o'clock white marker on the steering wheel. It is there however on the Platinum White Pearl/Black Nappa leather. Weird - but that's the way it is. I wonder what the reason was for that. Would have been nice - anyways.
