Not so impressed with the design. From the front it looks like an angry Opel. The back is pretty much okish...i think...and i also don't like the sides (it has lines out of harmony, they don't blend very well with the overall design of the car).

And it is a Merc

I had the liberty to sit in it. The seats message you as you drive. But the one thing that got me was the wind scarf. in the headrest there are two fans so when you drive with the top down it blows warm air on your neck. They exhaust note is amazing when you put it in RACE mode. Can't even explain how it is. Here is a pic of it at my boss's garage.

That car really is nice, but in this segment, I'd take an AM vantage or a Granturismo.

What is up with the 911 Turbo RIms? Merc couldn't come up with their own design on those?

MB has a real winner with all x63 cars. The 6.2 liter powerplant is one of best ever in my opinion.

I am still a big fan of the CLK63 AMG Black Series.

You can listen to the new C63 exhaust here (Fu*kin Amazing!). Just click spacebar or enter, then press play. I can't believe that is stock exhaust.

YES THE BLACK SERIES IS A GREAT CAR... THE BLACK SERIES is aimed at bimmer for the handaling... the sl63 is going to the black series as well... thats going to be an un real car... the car is un real now... with the black series its going to be that much better.....
