I really don't like the rear of the C in general. I didn't think it bulged out that much, but after parking next to one for the last week (my neighbor @ my apt complex) it really bothers me.

i can't wait to see the head to head reviews between the new c63 and the m3. that's going to be fun

it seems like the hp of the is-f will be under c63 but above others huh

It's much uglier in the non-AMG
The front is stunning though

Should throw in the RS4 also

Sounds like the C63 won't be just a straight line rocket like the rest of the AMG lineup.

I think I like it better than the IS-F already looking at the pics & the hp/torque . . .

Bring it on. Like others have stated, I can't wait to read the comparisons. All of the cars in this segment are EXCELLENT. You really can't go wrong with any of them!

Even the new C class sport and Luxury model is nice.. My neighbor just bought a new class non AMG.. I like the new design and with the right package looks great..

I just test drove an 08 C350 today. I wasn't impressed at the way it rode - very stiff despite the fact that the handling was 'ok' at best. Acceleration wasn't impressive at all either. Granted I'm sure this AMG model won't suffer from poor handling or acceleration - though the ride will probably be even stiffer and the price tag I'm sure will be ridiculously high.
