Silver car with AMG package:

BMW F22 · 01-16-2007, 01:49 AM

nt bad but they're more luxury looking than sporty

younghov85 · 01-16-2007, 02:17 AM

I hate how C-classes look like baby S-classes. Its like ur tryin to get a S lookalike.

AH · 01-16-2007, 03:11 AM

cntlaw · 01-16-2007, 03:38 AM

and how do you know itd getting 480hp?

everywhere I read they say 440-450hp for C63, less than CLK63

KL2DC · 01-16-2007, 08:05 AM

I see the spyshots/impressions were spot on! It looks promising...

Hornet · 01-16-2007, 08:15 AM

Not good, the dashboard looks stupid. They could have done better than that.

i'd say a LOT more luxury looking.

it seems like everyone is going for the same headlight design these days.

toolfan · 01-16-2007, 09:38 AM

in the 5th picture down, it looks like it says "E 350" on the back of the vehicle. I know the picture is blurry, but it still looks like an "E"

Great man, I've got ya!

420-450hp is a good guess but it is still a 'guess'.
That is based on the assumption that the current 481hp upscaled CLK63 priced 40% more than the current 367hp C55. So we won't think a C63 will be priced any closer to a CLK63, and that the C63 will be detuned for marketing reason.

A different story about the future AMG engines for W204, is they will have two AMG versions , the C55 5.4 litre version boosted up from 367hp to 420hp plus the C63 6.2 litre version with 481hp , same as the CLK63.

The C and CLK share the same chasis, apart from marketing reasons, with magic from AMG engineers, the C-class chasis will have no problem to fly with the 6.2 litre 500hp engine.

What I really hope, is AMG will come up with a BiTurbo version of the C55 W204. If I am getting anything less than 480hp, I might have to go back to the the baby M3 V8.

Does it also have a Home Theatre System?? That screen is really huge.

Greeney · 01-17-2007, 05:27 PM

That interior looks bad...

Fl0kje · 01-17-2007, 06:00 PM

That steering wheel is crap!

Also don't like the BMW rip-off asymetrical armrest.

But of course the current S-class also copied the BMW 7 dash.

obLu · 01-17-2007, 06:05 PM

Reserving final opinion until I see one in person. Pictures make it look weird, like it's trying to be a larger car than it is.

Thanks for the information.
I am happy with 450hp for the C63 I have ordered.
Although the power is not as much as the curent CLK63's 481hp, hopefully the lighter weight of C-class will fill this gap.

Zirenz2006 · 01-23-2007, 09:59 PM

Interior is vile!

ALPINE6SPD · 01-23-2007, 10:03 PM

the interior really blows but the outside is nicer than the is350 and g35 IMO.
