RedRobin Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 ....Yep, I'm not a Merc fan usually but this AMG version surely must strongly compete with both Audi's and BMW's offerings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pincher Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Had this in an email from a mate on Monday; [ QUOTE ] went to the Frankfurt car show on Friday with me having the sole intention of looking at and then ordering a C63 AMG. However, the car is not as nice in the flesh as the press photos lead you to believe. It looks slightly compromised at the rear end as this was too high compared to the front and rear leg room was not that good for a 4 door car. "Arse" was the exclamation. [/ QUOTE ] He thought the S5 was nicer and after chatting to one of the gents on the Audi stand, is reasonably confident that they will be building an RS5 sometime next year (I haven't been keeping up with what's happening/not happening in the Audi range recently so that may already be a given) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooH Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I thought there was an RS6 coming out shortly and they only built one RS model at a time, not sure how long they keep each model running for though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_G Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Why do you have to be such a Terry F**kwit everytime someone mentions another brand? I like the C63 AMG, not so sure about the estate version from the press release pictures so far but it is by all accounts a seriously quick car and well trimmed / equiped. Wouldn't hurt to test drive one I suppose...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] So Mr Moderator of Brand Bias, am I allowed to say the C63 looks crap? I'm sure it goes quicker than a BMW driver's patience in a traffic jam, but it looks terrible - body kit looks stuck on like a cheap kit off e-bay!

Brabus Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Could be the best from them yet, I will test drive one and see. [/ QUOTE ] ....and promptly claim that the RS4 is better/faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_C Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Whenever have I said the BMW is a better car than the Audi - each to they're [sic] own. [/ QUOTE ] Indeed indeed. Audi / BMW / Mercedes are three different takes on how to design and build a small sports saloon. There will never be a 'best car' as they suit different people and people have different requirements and opinions. In fact this choice is a good thing - it means the manufacturers work their buns off to try and 'better' the previous models launched by the other manufacturers. The current RS4 and C klasse AMG are a thousand times better than the previous generation models for example. They have moved the game forward in a gigantic leap.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes there is increasingly a good mix, but I still feel like an outsider and will do until I get an S4 - a good few years yet. Reference this forum bring 'not really an Audi forum anymore', check out the Windsor / MK albums. The vast majority are Audi, with the remainer being other VAG products or Porsche. Last night we had five B6 / B7 Audis present! When we do get other car present, the owner often an Audi as well: Techieboy in his VX with a B7, PeterB in his MR2 with an RS6, SamD in his ASBO with an A2.

garcon magnifique Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I think one of the problems here is that many of the original members of Tyresmoke still think it is an Audi forum, but at the same time those that own and run it are trying to appeal to a wider audience. All you have to do is acknowledge the Audi based genesis of TSN while trying to ignore the more extreme Audiphile bollox. On the C63 - an impressive beast certainly, but AMG are best at big ubersaloons. I'd much rather have the CLS or E63 than the baby one. ANd don't forget, March sees the UK launch of another potentially very capable competitor in this sector - the Lexus IS-F. To me at least, that's the one that'll be very interesting - it's bound to be a slightly different take on the performance saloon, probably a bit closer to AMG than RS/M.
