Question
What do you guys think of the new C55. I understand it has the 362HP (non-supercharged, but 376 lb-ft of peak torque) AMG V8 engine, new CLK front end to accomodate the bigger V8 motor, 5-speed AMG Speedshift automatic tranny with fingertip manual model, 4 piston 345mm AMG front disc brakes, 18" AMG staggered double-spoke wheels, Sports front seat with Nappa leather, AMG aeroki and rer lip spoiler.
Anybody here has owned a C43 and can comment about the car's handling with the heavier V8 engine?
Just wondering if the fun factor of this car is enough for me to trade in my E500 with all the AMG goodies? What do you say guys?
TIA for your input.
