All that power and you don't even get a clutch to have fun with....cool.

If it handles anything like all other benz's its just gonna be a quick car off the line

BMW handling >>>>>>> Mercedes handling

how many clk gtr's do you see on the road?

I'm not comparing track cars, i'm comparing street cars as I'm not a track driver

I've never been a fan of the C class, although the 6.3 liter must be a freakin beast.

spotted one last night around 6:30 on san antonio in mtn. view. eh. looked like one of those debadged mercs with odd aftermarket body panels, at least in styling the m3 kicks its ***.

I thinks it's priced much decently when being compared to the BMW's upcoming M3 which is approximately marked at $70K. That's $7K less for this C63.

But I'm sure the C63 priced with options will be at that mark, although, you do get a 4-door sedan, 5 people capacity and better figures on paper. Functionality, performance and high level of luxury for better price. Style is very much a matter of personal taste.
