2007 Audi RS 4, 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, 2008 BMW M3 - Comparison Tests - Car and Driver

This whole article comparing the M3 coupe and the 4 door C63 is all wrong. They should have compared the m3 sedan first of all. Then they complain about how the C63 has "over the top styling", but isn’t that the whole point of the car? They say that the car has "Shocking performance, heroic engine wail, the world’s best automatic, excellent seats." and it still comes in second to the much slower M3 which is 463lbs lighter. The car does 0 to 60mph is 3.9seconds to the m3s 4.3 seconds. They also stated that they got tired of the "aggressive behavior and looks—the creases, the bulges, the vents, and the gaping front fascia could almost pass as an aftermarket job in this tasteful group." Then they complimented it on how it’s the Lambo of sports sedans.”But if you like to be seen, heard, and talked about, the C63 is your Lamborghini of sports sedans." I just don’t get how first of all on the cover of the mag they said "Hell Raising sedans" but what they should have said was 2 sedans and 1 coupe. This whole article just makes me angry. I would like to see the C63 in first because its a street car and its faster in every acceleration test and in stopping. Any thoughts on this article?

totally agree with you, I also think its gonna be one of the best cars of the year. It will be sick indeed.

I do think it's a very nice and fast car. I don’t think the M3 sedan will come close to it. I also believe that the "M" lines of cars are overrated

i was surprise the C63 lost....maybe its because THEY'RE FROM 2 DIFFERENT CLASSES AHHHHHH

if the c63 was a coupe, it would have completely the M3

M3 nice car nonetheless

and what was the other car again? LOL

Ya thats my point exactly, the M3 sedan should have been in this article instead of the coupe. I dont know how much heavier the M3 sedan is, but it would affect the acceleration numbers even more

now that i take a second look on the test....i realize maybe they were basing it off of price...but nonetheless i still stick with what i said prior lol
