I like it looks fkn sleek... the only thing I don't like is they stuck with that random screen. Just looks out of place, when it should have been in-built with the dash.

Weighs as much a RC F, and looks worse, yet everyone somehow likes it?

That's the funny thing about opinions... we're all entitled to our own. Also, this thing runs circles around an RC F.

Mustang GT350 runs circles around AMG C Coupe and M4. And?

That was my point - no follow up needed. This will be a higher performing car than the RC F and, IMHO, it also looks miles better.

Well after watching that video I don't think pictures do the car justice. Looks outstanding IMO.

This car is going to be the pick of the bunch - by a longshot. The all new V8 engine has more soul than the M4 for starters. As soon as you start the thing you know it means business. The interior is just quality. It is a BIG step up from the W204. The way the rear flares out at the rear is something new for a non-Black Series Benz. 285 rears, 19/20inch staggered wheels as an option. It just looks outstanding and will be best in class. I was looking to upgrade my e89 and nearly bought a w204 C63 507 coupe. When the new C63 sedan came out I really wished I had bought the 507 as I could imagine the new C63 coupe would look boring. Man, I was so surprised at what Benz did with the new coupe....it acutally looks better than the W204 and over on the C63 forum everyone agrees.

Then come the mods....

The only two things letting this car down in my opinion is the lack of DCT and the increased length over the W204. Other than that, it could well be my next car!

Looks decent, very much like a mustang from the side, but the drooping profile from the rear end is a bit different.

Depends a lot on the weight and suspension, it has a bunch of suspension tricks to make it handle awesome, so if that overcomes the weight, it's the clear win IMO. It looks great, seems to handle great, the engine is great, but again if it's pulling significantly more weight it's not huge. Something cool to save for possibly, but then I wonder if it's really much more fun than a mustang 350 or even a camaro SS. We'll see...

Funny how you say the car has more soul than an F8x and then when you fire it up you know it means business...... But then you put it into drive and the Mercedes MCT just let's you down
So much for soul.....best in class with an old man's automatic with what feels like a lock up torque converter......and a steering column mounted shifter a la 90s minivan ...yup much soul .....very business...Doge approves
