The c63 could be great. Why awd though?! But a v8 with a shit ton of power would be awesome. If the car could put the power down nicely it could be a great, and dare i say a better alternative. Even if the perf is better it will have to have great throttle response and styling to match my decision in buying one over an m4.

I also just saw the interior of the 2015 c class and besides the strange tomtom/garmin looking screen its nice. The center stack flows all the way to the center armrest in one swooping line. It looks much sportier than the f39 series.

The m4 will probably have an edge in fun to drive but i think the new c63 could be a beast at the track as well.
Just watched it. Mercedes seems to really fall behind on transmissions. That engine in the E63S is a beast.

Right now I am weighing the M4 and the new C63. I predict the M4 will be lighter, better transmission, and more well balanced. The C63 more powerful, better interior, and maybe lower priced.
