Do you think MB should do a Black Series for cars other than two-door ones?

Cause I would be damned if they create a Black Series for something like an S65 AMG flagship saloon.

Was that Anthony Bourdain at 1:22?

Anyways beautiful car, too bad it doesn't come in a true manual transmission.

Drool inducing? It looks super gaudy and sounds like crap.

Not a pure sports car but its still VERY fast, for a sporty coupe...

I'd take a stock R8 for that kinda money, even though its probably slower.

yep, the black series and lf-a aren't for me.... cuz i tend to spend my money WISELY

still waiting for actual price tho...

I'm sure you're not the target market of this car.

This car is aimed at people who want a performance luxury car (with perhaps some brand preference involved). Early reviews of the regular C class coupe indicate that it certainly is a serious competitor to the BMW 3er in terms of driving dynamics.

I imagine the AMG version is going to be quite hardcore and offer even better driving dynamics. For some people that is worth the money.

I would stick to a regular C class coupe since I don't need raw performance and since I find the AMG version rather ugly and "boy racer-like" in appearance.

So people that are going to buy this car or bought LF-A or other exotics or high end cars don't spend their money wisely?

you're right, but coconut's idea of having a stock R8 over this instead makes more "sense".

no, not other exotics or high end cars... just this car and the lf-a.

well so i guess the conclusion is your taste is different though i don't see how that translates to you spend money "more" wisely
