| What a surprise that the CLK 63 AMG Black Series has such an absurd mark up in Newport Beach! My local dealer here in Denver sold me my car at MSRP. Period. That sort of dealer gouging is all too common in SoCal. To whit, a Porsche GT2 rolled out of Rusnack in Thousand Oaks at $300K when they first were available. My son worked there at the time.
I saw the C63 AMG and the new M3 at the LA Autoshow Thanksgiving weekend. The Benz has presence, looks menacing. The M3 is very blah offering a domed hood and wheels to distinguish it from the 335 coupe (which is a tick slower for a lot less money). Wait until Dinan massages the 335 let alone the 135 and there will be some disappointed M3 owners!
Great article in a recent EVO comparing all the M cars. I have always thought the E 30 M3 was the best. Only wish I had bought one when I test drove one in '88.
If I were in the market, the C63 AMG would be at the top of my one car list!
