That....is a seriously bad *** machine. I love the way Mercedes is going with their styling.

Bit too generic C-class looking for me, needs a slightly harder look about it (IMHO). No doubting the engine is a beast though.

I think it is tasteful, adult muscle. I like. It can use a smidgen of excitement in someways, but I find it nicer than the M4. The exhaust sounds of AMG are second to none!

It probably looks better in person...and with color, but I am a disappointed by the aesthetics. The AMG GT S Coupe would be my choice over this.

The GTS is a real mans car.

I would own the GTS and C63 sedan. Why not? Lol

I think it will go the way the old c63 v3 e92m3 showdown went. The benzs engine tone sounds AMAZING and will roast a M4 in a drag race. Around the corners the M4 will run circles around it. The M4's exhaust note is literally a deal breaker for me with that car though. It sounds.....so......bad

This. Bmw is superior to track performance . Mercedes v8 Amg just sounds better . Overall speed and handling goes to any bmw. The e92 m3 also looks better and handles way better than the last c63.

I know my opinion on these euro sports coupes isn't popular, but the only point of these to exist is that someone with a lot of money wants a semi-practical car that they can show off (i.e. as status symbol). Would anyone in their right mind actually buy one of these over a Porsche or a Corvette (or other true sports car) for a dedicated track car?

As lame as it sounds, if I wanted a TRUE PRACTICAL daily driver, I would go for a Toyota or a Lexus. As much as I love Porsches and Vettes, I am very satisfied with my Z as it is very fun and as sexy as a car can get.

Honestly I think I would feel silly driving around in a Ferrari or even a high-end Porsche, but as a white-collar guy, with a blue-collar mentality I just can't relate to rich people.

Please bash me a will

I see your logic behind what you are saying to a degree. As I had the same mentality... Being that the premium market is drastically growing and the sub-premium sports car market is once again shrinking. Affordable monikers like Supra and NSX will now be in the GT-R range. And rumors of the next Z being a crossover? That's another can of worms... LMFAO! Effin' Nissan...

I think some people who can afford a little more May be looking for a one car does it all vehicle... Cars like the C63, M4, GT-R & RS-5 fall into a separate market...

Corvette, R8 and such are basically track cars. You are not going to get an enormous edge in performance street driving cars like that. So the comfort and convenience of the other cars will win the hearts of men that have a varied interest in how their vehicles are used.

I personally look at it as a luxed out muscle car and I'd strongly consider it. The likelihood of making the purchase is questionable based on the competition, yet still remains a strong possibility
