Hi guys, which car would you pick?

C63, the best all round AMG Mercedes has made for a while. There is good reason why I see 4-5 C63's for every M3 be it 3 or 5 door.

With paddle shift and double clutch gear boxes, why would any sane person still want a clutch pedal and a gearstick?

Piece of mind more than anything else...

Shame about no manual for the C63, still, I'd get one without hesitation

Which piece? Front, back, side?

I know what your all gonna say...

But ISF>C63. I have experience with both, no way does the C63 demand the extra $$$. Have a look at the ISF section on Club Lexus: New, Used Lexus Reviews, Research, Performance, Parts - ClubLexus.com..

clutch pedal + gear stick > buttons/ paddles.

that's my opinion, and thus i cannot see why anyone would want to differ from it.

Hi,
yes, the RS4 would be the choice if I had my way, but even with talking to Joerg (for those who knows who he is) I cannot get the RS4 in auto.
My wife has to drive it too so no manuals. 4 doors only as I may have to cart the kids around.
The M3 I test drove was a coupe, it had the M upgrade package, unpainted roof etc was absolutely lovely, but 2 door. dealer didnot have the sedan to show.
C63 is possibly the pick now. Only downside is that with only a few boxes ticked the prices hike very quickly.

Oh! got invited to try the new Golf "R" maybe i ll just get that : p

Agree, if i was buying for track or for myself only. but wife has to drive too.
Drove a friends 2010 Gallardo a couple of weeks ago and dreaded the auto box, as **** as the old one. Rather a stick anyday.

For me the M3 anyway I cant take it. The C63 is a car costing $139,900. The M3 is closer to a $160K (maybe the coupe costs more?). So the C63 is a relative bargain.

In real terms though, with speed enforcement as bad as it is now days.. the auto C63 with its 4 doors and BEST sound of these 3, would be the pick -Esoecially If there are kids involved. A real point and shoot type car thats easy to live with.

The GOLF R is not in the same game as these cars above. Please dont get an R if you have papers to get something that good.

Also the Lexus is a non event to me. Rebadged Toyota? Couldnt do it when you have those other options.

Same reason to me its wierd having a Cayenne and the VW version 4WD being.. the same car but different badges.. talk about real sillyness.

PS - So what did you get?!

Just teach her to drive a manual, problem solved.
