Hmm, they said "The 2012 C63 AMG will hit U.S. dealerships this fall.", so I assume we will be able to get it... I hope... although I could never afford it

the sedan will.

and, why couldn't you afford it? A C63 can be had for less than you've spent on your car over its lifetime

lol, you said it right "over its lifetime" Much easier to do things piece-mill than at once... unless Merc would let me buy the engine, then the chassis... then the doors over time, haha.

MB don't take blood, sweat, and tears as payment.

Do they?

well, sure, but a C63 can be had in the high $50k region. just don't order the whole option list.

hell, you could sell your car and make a nice downpayment....I assume by now its paid for. My payment is less than $100 more a month than my 2008 STI was.

lol, oh ya... I paid off BluBallz in 05 BTW, my payment was only $300/mo... so I'm guessing it would be twice that for a MB...
