The coupe and the sedan don't really feel all that different at the limit. Back to back, you'll notice a difference, but they do feel very similar. Most noticeable difference was rear stability under heavy braking when weight is shifted forward. But it wasn't all that big of a difference.
And I'm talking from real-world experience here, not just repeating what I've read elsewhere else.

Coupe all day every day. I almost bought a sedan when it first came out, but I'm glad I waited. It looks too pedestrian compared to the widebody Coupe.

If the sedan is "too pedestrian" looking, the coupe really isn't that far off either with the only visual difference being the wider fenders/tires. And I think the US-spec coupe rear bumperettes are downright fugly.

I feel like everyone here is trying to defend their purchase/choice lol You bought the sedan because you think it’s better, and I bought the coupe because I think it’s better. Everyone doesn’t have to like the same things lol

In the end though, I think we all made the right choice since we bought a C63. No question that the coupe handles the best of all the variants. If they make a C63R coupe, I'll be first in line

We all aren’t the same and as such have different opinions. But there is still a majority.. rarely is there ever a perfect 50/50 split or all agree.. that said reviews of the fleet point to the coupe as the better looking more muscular of the group. Nothing wrong with disagreeing with that. There isn’t a problem if you aren’t in the majority. I don’t see why there is arguing over opinion.. you can’t on something like which design you prefer.. but the results of the opinions cannot be argued and that favors the coupe and that fuels more of a defensive attitude from owners and people who have them on order and some lash out based on the results of most not agreeing with their own opinion by making fun of the majority’s opinion.. They feel backed into a corner as is overwhelmingly displayed in this thread.

If you are, I genuinely wasn't making fun of other's opinions. Even when the coupe first came out, I detested the rear bumperettes. Hate them on all US-spec cars. They're horrible on the GT and new CLS too. They are also atrocious on the Chiron and that new Aston. Can't understand why manufacturers can't make a US-specific custom bumper.
Also stand with the Accord opinion (which was brought up by someone else). That's not really a slight on the C coupe though, they really do share similar lines and it's more that the Accord coupe is actually pretty good looking. C is obviously much better though.
Again, in the end I think all the C63 variants are excellent and I'd pick up a R if they make it.

The Coupe has the same rear end as the E63S. Very different setup to what's in the sedan. Wider tires, fender flares, better traction during acceleration and cornering despite weighing 100lbs more than the sedan (and that weight is all due to the bracing and stiffening components under the Coupe - which was actually developed for the Convertible, but it was cheaper to produce both Coupe and Convertible with the same chassis bracing).
Coupe all day every day. I almost bought a sedan when it first came out, but I'm glad I waited. It looks too pedestrian compared to the widebody Coupe.

Coupes are niche products. Always have been. The majority of people used to buy sedans. Now the majority buys crossovers and SUVs. The reason for that are the lifestyles. Many have kids and think they need the additional practicality and space. Most Europeans buy wagons for the same reason. Mercedes/AMG offers these body styles to sell more cars. The typical customer for a C63 sedan/wagon is the husband/father who has to convince his wife that he is buying a car that works for the family, but really wants a sports car or the business man who needs to shuttle around customers. For somebody who is single or married with no children a coupe is more appealing and offers enough practicality for road trips and daily use over a more limited 2 seater sports car, but there are always exceptions.

The C63S Sedan also came out two years before the Coupe, so the Sedan actually has more years in production than the Coupe.

C63 Amg coupe 2018
Hi everyone,
I have been an avid C63 owner since 2012. I purchased a 2012 C63 Sedan, and ended up selling it about a year and a half ago.
I have been driving family cars to pass the time, and now I am ready to purchase a 2019 C63.
I am highly debating on purchasing a coupe. It just looks amazing.
I have a few questions regarding the pros and cons of owning a C63 Coupe?
For the coupe, is it difficult to throw things in the back seat, is it difficult loading passengers, and how are the blind spots, & etc.
Those of you who have sedans, would you want a coupe & vice versa?
Keep in mind that the pricing on the C63 Sedan is about $5000-$10,000 cheaper than the coupe.
I just would love for there to be a compelling argument on why I should get the coupe over the sedan.
Thank you all, would love to see the responses!

In short: I would have love to have the Coupe. I think the rear flared fenders on the C63S Coupe are just pure sex. It also came down to price and practicality for me though, so in the end sedan was the way to go for me.
I ended up getting 30,000 Euro discount on a brand new sedan vs maybe half that (on the coupe). You do the math.

I'd attribute it more to the practicality of having four doors, and more importantly PRICE. The Coupe would have been more expensive for me, as they were giving massive discounts on the Sedan when I bought mine last year.

And how did you get a 30,000 discount on a 90,000 car? Are you an MB employee?

Not an easy fix. If you lease the car. You wouldn't want to do this. If you own the car and sell it later. You wouldn't want to do it for liability reasons. You could get sued by someone you sell the car to because they were removed if they got in an accident. Not to mention the DOT mandates they are supposed to be there. Not worth the risk for something that 99.9% of the people would never even give a second glance or thought to.
