Seems like 2 different worlds. I have a c43, and was driving a bmw 5 series for a few days, it was a very nice car, but it drives like a big car. I would think if u drive ur 63 spiritedly u might tip over the g wagon
but they are beautiful trucks !!!

go drive the G like u drive ur C and see how it does

you will hate it - not only the lack of power from the 4.0 TT, but the earlier G's ride poorly and are so top heavy you will feel like its going to tip at speed.

I'm seriously considering selling my 18 C63s as well for a new toy

2015 ML63
I sold my 2017 C43 about 2 months ago.. had it just over a year and we had a 2015 ML63 that was traded in.. I've always liked SUV's more than sedans.. the ML fits my dog much much better with the room obv.. But the ride quality is supreme over my C43. The ml does have air ride and active sway bars really do a great job keeping the car from feeling so top heavy. I cannot corner like i used to in my c43. but the 5.5L bi turbo sounds intoxicating with the windows down.

If you heart says to do, follow it haha. That's what i did with my ML and haven't looked back.

Matthew
edit--- Not sure what your budget is but test drive a newer one with the electric power steering versus the older ones without..
