5soko · 02-26-2008, 01:11 PM

Any links proving this information?

Inspired · 02-26-2008, 01:22 PM

when is it coming out? I am planning to get a used c55 amg. hopefully when the new c63 comes out the price will drop dramatically for the c55.

ybbiz34 · 02-26-2008, 02:24 PM

Dang and the C63 already comes with A LOT of options standard that must be added to the M3...

Year's_End · 02-26-2008, 02:48 PM

Huh...not that I'm doubting you but I'd like to see proof before I belive any of this.

ybbiz34 · 02-26-2008, 03:03 PM

Welp, here is the proof!

http://www.leftlanenews.com/mercedes-benz-c63-amg.html

"There is no doubt that Mercedes-Benz is squarely taking aiming at BMW's M3 with its all-new C63 AMG Sedan, and that rivalry will be reflected in the car's price. Mercedes has announced that its C63 AMG will come with a base sticker price of $53,800 — the exact same price of entry for BMW's M3 sedan."

Epacy · 02-26-2008, 03:28 PM

BMW blinked first...

Year's_End · 02-26-2008, 07:18 PM

Exactly. They waited after Lexus to announce prices.

BoostedBMW · 02-26-2008, 09:02 PM

Wow, that is really surprising.

Los Angeles · 02-26-2008, 09:13 PM

meanwhile, the competitive Audi RS4 costs an extra $13,000 just to hang w/ the C63 and the M3 sedan.

Sad I tell ya, sad.

Audi's come with a lot of extras std, but the gap did become rather large

Year's_End · 02-26-2008, 09:26 PM

Which makes you wonder how much the next RS4 will cost...

I doubt it will be cheaper. If anything, a tad bit more.

OBI_agent · 02-28-2008, 09:40 AM

I wish that the c63 amg would handle better. Then it would be a complete car

.

I guess they haven't learned anything from BMW

that's not what AMG is after...

they're about brute force and in your face aggressive styling, both of which the C63 has tons of.

Yep. Sure is nice we have choices. There is a lot of overlap between the market each is after (M3/C63), but both BMW & Merc have different angles for getting their purists.

Yeah I don't think we need another M3. Choice is nice.

You said it bro. I like the fact that the RS4, C63 and M3 behave in different ways.

E82tt6 · 02-28-2008, 04:00 PM

Yep, 3 different cars. I think this is the best AMG C class yet, though.

First, you gotta pay for exclusivity

Second, the B7 RS4 was meant to compete with the E46 M3, not the E90. The B8 RS4 will go after the e90 M3, and by usual RS fashion, it should have about 50 or so more ponies than the M3.

At the end of the day, you can thank Audi for constantly raising the bar model after model; the RS division is making the current HP war accelerate faster than any other factor.
