Those damn Germans! I love the black series but i don't see the resemblance to the F. I think it looks more like the e46 m3 mated with an Audi s5 from the side profile.

I thought that the side view was more Mustang than ISF. It is a nice looking car overall but I can see where some purists would think that parts of it are tacky. It's definately not your run of the mill design.

I got you on this Pc1990! No resemblance per say, but I think you mean like they going with the fender flare like how the IS-F has it. Or like how the C63 has a big opening on the left and right side like how the IS-F has by the fog lights!!

This resulted from a prior year female C63 being parked overnight in the same garage with an IS-F.

There is one part on the C coupe that makes it look a bit more like the F and is the shape of the side rear window "kink", which is quite un-Benz like since Benz coupes had always had a sharp tapered end. But other than that it's all MB-AMG.

BTW I love the C63 Black Series! (But I'd probably rather get a '12 GTR instead)
Cool now I can make a Ferrari copycats thread!

On another note, it's a little dissapointing that the C63 comes with only stock 18' wheels.
HAHA, what are you my doctor! I don't like the previous c63 amg at all but this black series is a real head turner.
