The C63 is for real.
I just don't konw about the transmission.. not a double clutch and not a manual.
That's been the biggest detraction for me to get into an AMG. That, and the resale value sux ( which helps if you pick up a used one).

Since its closely priced to the E63 AMG, I'll take the midsize sedan over it. I am waiting for the next AMG E63 all new model, supposedly it has been rumoured it will sport twin turbo's and since I am a huge and very avid AMG fan I am loyal to the brand and hope to get it in the first two years of it introduction.

seems crazy cheap for an Benz and an AMG at that, that price point is amazing in my eyes...I love the old c-class haven't been in a new one so I can't make and comments based on finish and space
