C63 pricing announced, $54625 including destination...
Very similar to the M3 and I'm sure with options it will be the 60s but both the M3 and C63 will be at least 5K less although neither has all wheel drive.
PARADISE VALLEY, AZ - The 2008 Mercedes-AMG C63 AMG is making its on-road debut in the U.S. this week as U.S. journalists test-drive the new car on a wide range of roads through Arizona's mountain and desert terrain. The 2008 C63 AMG makes its debut with the signature AMG 6.3 liter V8 engine that produces a 451-hp and 443 lb-ft. of torque. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph, while its 0-60 time is 4.3 seconds. Introduced on the C63 AMG, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7-Speed Automatic Transmission includes a new double de-clutching feature on downshifts to maintain vehicle balance during cornering, while delivering shift times up to 50 percent faster than previously. The exterior of the C63 AMG departs from other C-Class models with a unique hood (with power domes), widened front fenders and a special front fascia and other body components not shared with any C-Class model. Available in U.S. Mercedes-Benz dealerships in April, the new C63 AMG will be priced at $54,625, which includes the $825 destination fee.

I never would have thought we'd see both bimmer and benz cost less than the comparable Audi
At least our Audis residual values are better in the long run...oh wait a sec...CRAP!

I disagree. I say "comparable", but not identical...or preferable for that matter! ;)
But some people don't necessarily care if it is AWD or RWD...they still compare and cross-shop these cars.
