I'm hoping the 6.2L M156 makes a comeback with Aston Martin in the AMG partnership, but that's probably wishful thinking.

Aston needs a more efficient engine (on paper) for cafe and euro 5. The M156 in my CLS is rated at 12 city and 19 highway, however I return 14-15 avg. The new 5.5 TT returns 16 city and 25 highway and new upcoming 4.0 TT is poised to be even more efficient.

Yeah, it's too bad the regs are a good reason to avoid European cars.

Am I the only one who do doesn't like the gruff like sound of the C63?

The GM 6.0L V8 and also the ISF V8 just sound nicer and have a more bass rich rumble

In terms of exhaust sound, there's nothing much that can be done beyond that (given that it's a 4 cylinder).

With that said, there is an AMG Performance Exhaust system for the A45 AMG hatchback.

God damn that's sounds pretty sick! And that backfire sound so dirty too.

I have some people following me on IG that I do not want knowing about the cars I "own" or have " on order".
And to add to the fact, these aren't spectacular cars really; most people with a proper job can afford these cars, nothing worth taking pictures and showing off about.

The ISF is the sweetest V8 around;


I just don't see what it is that is so special about the C63. To me it sounds similar to a riced out Civic

I've yet to hear an IS-F in person so I cannot comment, but the C63 sounds kinda mean to me. Perhaps if I hear an IS-F in person it will change me.
