Mercedes c63 amg.. 450hp of unleased BEAST

So, my pops was debating whether to trade in his fx45 for a c63 amg. After test driving one, to say the least. The car is a absolute BEAST. Anyone else driven one? I'm sure you all can relate....

Wrong section.

Not that crazy of an upgrade. Power, yes. Going to a smaller car that is only RWD and a bigger gas guzzler. Price wise, there is only a $20,000 difference, if that, if a good deal is found.

Inferior engineering = cheaper to maintain.

Of course, if money is no object. Then by all means, BMW it is.

Ya, but what I meant is that the AWD will be gone, towing will be gone, and towing extra groceries will be gone.

most fx45s come with summer rubber on them that i have seen so its awd use in bad weather might be as bad as the c63 on summer tires.

also with a c63 you have need for a boat to get you laid.. you drive around in a german rocket ship. the noise alone is worth it over being able to tow imho.
