his decision, glad he shared it but if we're commenting on choice of replacements yes, strange to me indeed. obviously from the interior picture of a garage he likes German cars so let's forget about the new Camaro ZL1 for now or CTS-V but having said that E63s sedan is faster it has a lot more room and from having driven one numerous times it's an amazing car in my opinion above the CTSV (which ive also driven and road in many times) in every way.
Audi makes a (couple) nice 4-doors that are ust as fast and capable and their interiors are on parole with MB. imo nicer but that's very subjective.
if OP responds back maybe he can explain why he chose that particular car over the others? This is just curiosity on our part. he knows his life and what he needs to do
ps. as for interiors, I guess it's that the vette has never had a nice interior, on par with P cars or others in its class and that's why we love it so much because the C7 interior, especially in 3LZ form is so heads and shoulders above all others!
maybe it is average? but it's the best corvette interior of all time by far. I for one have only one complaint. why does the seat belt on the passenger side rattle against the seat and door unless it's buckled in lol! that's not bad given complaints from the past!

He IS a troll. A troll is someone who posts merely from the purpose of creating controversy, and that's what that "person" does every time. The comment about the Kia interior being used as a way to create controversy about the C7 was a great example, and was not on-topic simply because someone previously mentioned the Merc's interior. It was an off-topic trolling post -- like ALL of his posts -- and it will be reported.

OP - I had a similar situation about a year ago. My wife's job changed and requires more traveling now and I am mostly in town so I am hauling the kids allot more. I landed with a Porsche Panamera S. Like you, I love quality sports cars !
I sure like the look of that MB - never been in one but would like to check one out. I bet it's a blast to drive and after all, that's why we buy these things. If it makes you smile, well done !!
Best of luck to you -

I am a car lover, no brand loyalty. I've owned 5 Chevies, 3 Benz, 5 BMW, 2 Mazda, 1 Infiniti, and 1 Aston. At the end of the day, I chose the C63S over others because it is the best looking sporty car with 4 seats in my opinion. I wish I could afford to keep the Z. I loved the interior of my Z with red competition seats, transparent top, HUD, and aftermarket gloss carbon fiber dash.

You are so absolutely correct on the dealers loading them up....drives me crazy! The last M/B I bought, I ordered from the factory. Took over 2 months to get it, but was well worth the wait...ordered it in February, arrived in late April, just when the roads were cleaned up from all the crap the state throws on the roadways! The C63 Coupe truly is a beautiful car, it's not a Z06, but it drives and handles amazingly!

just realized..... different upgrade too. the C class is 100 percent safer for you and the family.. you have CPA+ and blind spot and everything vs the Vette with Zero safety features

I waited two years to be the first to get the Z06. It was nice to walk in MB and luckily find exactly what I wanted at the lot. Lucky because most dealership only have 1 or 2 C63 coupe.

Not sure what your job is, but spending weekdays away from family is hard. Your kids grow up fast, that time when you're not home with them can't be made up doesn't matter how much money one makes.

The AMG is a great fun car to drive, but did get rid of mine as the dash had so many rattles it drove me crazy. The paddle shift was one of the nicest I've owned as it was fast and shifts were precise. Interior design was ergomatic, but somewhat small. Enjoy to the fullest and I hope MB has sorted the dash issues.

Damn. I forgot all about that rule. Oh well, my Mercedes is 18 years old and has only cost me $145 in unscheduled maintenance, for a Bosch MAF, that I installed in the driveway.
$8.06 a year. I guess I might as well sell the POS, since I just found out that it's not reliable.
