Do the exhaust tips turn round in person?

Design should complement function - not go against it.

I am sure the car is "better" than my 2006.

I still have issues with the aesthetics.

I like the way my 1996 Viper GTS looks more than the 2009 ACR. But - the ACR is by far the "better" car. GTS still turns more heads.

It's a design statement.

Well said, gentlemen.

 

i'd agree with saying it does look better in person. pics don't really reflect the stance of the car very well.

 

So the W212 shifts like a dream and throttle blips the down shifts.

Handling is so much better.

One of the chief engineers from AMG at Laguna Seca said that the E and C are equivalent in track performance at this point. Some of the instructors give the edge to the C, but with the better HP, the top speeds would likely be higher in the E. The E also has a new generation of ESP to keep it ahead.

The statement about the look of the dash is far exceeded by the utility of the dash. The command system is a huge leap forward and moving the display up significantly reduces eye travel from the road.

No, I do not like the rear.

 

I drove the new E63 - I know didle about the C... In sport sharp, auto, not shifting, it still does throttle bliping, when you hit the breaks and it down shifts on its own, it's sick! Exterior is ugly and does NOT grow on you in person, but you do start to ignore it when you drive it. interior grows on you, interment cluster is EPIC!!! It felt really good, very sharp and yet refined. I'd trade up if I wasn't stuck financially. Distronic plus and all the other tech goodies are amazing, I really like it all.

It's like that girl that isn't so hot, but shes got the moves, loves to suck dick and is good at it. You start to get over the looks and enjoy the ride =]

 

It'll be a good sleeper since you can hide in with all the other Asian cars out there.[/quote]

"Look how fast that Hyundai is going"!!!!!!!

 

Personally preference...but I like the way my 211 looks better AND my gobs of torque...

 

I test drove the new E63 last night. Of course the front is great and the back is alright. The interior is sporty and I love the new navi.

I couldn't get on the car hard but from what I experienced the handling is better and the power felt about the same.

Overall I wasn't that impressed.

When I returned to the dealer I sat in a 2010 S550 while I waited for the salesman to return. We went for a test drive and I felt like a millionaire driving that mini limo.

I hate to say this but maybe I am starting to grow a little older because I am really digging the S550 (I'm only 32). If I can learn to live without 500 hp then the S550 may be my next car.

 

I was leaning s550 but my nuts overruled my brain on the hp / torque argument. Now I'm leaning 07-08 e63 and keep the 55 as well. Love my 55 like a child.

 

Still have not grown on me yet. My boss actually have a black E350 and I thought it looks cheap to me. On the side not, are the front brake calipers only have six pots?

 

I like the new body style. IMO the stock wheels are what make the car look cheap and Japanese. Put some on nice wheels and a mild drop and it will look 10x better.

 

I love this car - absolutely sexy...

Unfortunately I think that car is an 030 car...Not the base wheels or steering wheel

And I think the back end is absolutely beautiful - at night, spectacular...

 

Did Mercedes hire Chris Bangle.

 

LOL Phil, your description sounds like someone defending their girlfriend who doesnt look so good in photos....


Hows this one:

She may not be so pretty but she sure cooks good!!!! The new W212 E63 AMG- looks arent everything but the performance has improved!!!!

 

I thought you were going to go "she may not be a looker, but she sure does suck a mean..."

 

I didnt want to have to ban myself

 

LOL.... I actually thought you were going to say, "she may not be a looker, but she does it like a hooker"
