Macan Turbo to GLC63
I just traded in my 15' Macan Turbo last weekend, with the only intention of test driving the beastly GLC63. Took it for a spin and I was sold after 15-20 min of driving!
They gave me a good deal on my trade in, sweet talked the wifey, and haggled the price with the sales department. Next thing you know I was signing paper works and drove away with the car! LOL!
I love my Macan Turbo but this GLC63 is a completely different animal, I love it!
Quick comparison*
Power: GLC63 hands down
Handling: Macan with PASM takes the cake
Tranny: PDK by far the quickest, but it has some quirky characteristic. Nonetheless, its been a solid performer for me!
The 9Gtronic is smooth and well matched for this engine, but not as quick as the PDK...
Looks: It's a toss up! I'm starting to fall in love to the GLC63 aggressive look and stance...

congratulations.
I love the looks of the Macan but I went with GLC for size and engine. One day I will eventually be able to afford the Panamera wagon.
I was thinking the Macan was getting a model change and was really excited at the possibility they would be competing with the GLC in size but i just found out it was a facelift. I was not following it closely.
I like the new tail lights but not significantly more than the old ones.

I think projected re-design will be around 2021? It was hard to let go of the Macan, because it does all the thing that I want(performance wise) Like you said GLC sold me for the size and beastly engine.
I'm for sure I will own another Porsche again. I love Porsche and MB(grew up owning a 280CE) way back when.

I was too waiting for the redesign, but its just mid cycle refresh or a facelift. It's still riding on the old Audi Q5 platform, its just a matter of time when they switch with the MLB evo platform.

My GLC is my first owned Mercedes as I was holding out until I could get an E63 wagon before this monster came along.

So, I still got my Vorsteiner wheels VFF107 from my Macan and I’m thinking running it on the GLC63... The few differences:
*Same bolt pattern and center hub bore size*
Vorsteiner specs
20x9 et 21
20x10.5 et 15
GLC63 20”
20x9.5 et?
20x10 et?

Looks like a great fit and the look very nice too. What tires and sizes did you end up with on those wheels?
Edit - just able to zoom and see they are Michelin. Still curious about sizes.
