Thinking about an AMG as a daily driver. I really like the look of the C but am having trouble getting over the 'baby' benz image. I really like the E but the body will be changing soon and don't like getting what is really the same body as the 2003 - I know there are slight changes but basically the same same car. Anyone have experience with both?

 

i have a E63 and drove C63 once. i think they are very different in terms drive, handling, and even how you are perceived. i think of my E63 as a tank that is comfortable and luxury. i think the C63 reminded me of my BMW M3 and Audi S4, powerful small car that is responsive and a little rougher. in fact, i feel older driving the E63.

 

I have both, they are world apart. The C has a better chassis for track days, and feels very sporty. The E is a luxury performance car, very comfortable as a Daily. Given the fact that the E will be soon changed. You should get the C, it will depreciate less if you consider trade in for the new E when released.

Ditto... I would strongly suggest going to your local MB dealership and driving both for an extended test drive... M3 vs M5, RS4 vs RS6 ,C63vs E63, all different cars... find what you like and have fun, right?
