RE: Mercedes-AMG C43/63: Driven

Not that I'm complaining but it really does look almost identical to the S63 Cabriolet which is £130k+ new.



This new C class is also one of the few cars I think looks much much better as convertible opposed to coupe form.

C E and S class all look alike. Merc designed one (E) and then shrunk it 10% to get C and enlarged it 10% to get S.

I'm not so sure, I think the Coupe roof is more forgiving on that sloped rear end and has a parellel with the deep swage line in the sides...



Although I don't think either coupe or cabriolet are what you'd call elegant / attractive cars, they're both too chintzy with too much going on - much like the equivalent BMWs. The A5 (in all forms) has a very simple form which actually makes it more classy. I know the new vs. used argument is irrelevant, but this is used DB9 Volante territory which has similar performance and is considerably better looking...
