From the Passenger's Perspective: Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

When I arrived at this year's Geneva Foreign & Sports Benefit Car Show, i didn't expect to be getting any material for one of these articles.  I was wrong.
About a month ago, i wrote an article on the C63's younger brother, the C300.  When i approached the C63, the first thing i noticed was the 6.3L V8 badge on the side.  That's about twice that of the C300, and 2.3 Liters more than anything I've ever been in.  The second thing i noticed were the AMG alloy wheels, the subtle rear spoiler, and the front aero adjustments.
Then, as i stepped inside, I noticed the carbon fiber trim, as opposed to stainless steel (or plastic made to look like stainless steel......) in the C300.  It's interior is pretty much the same, except for one detail.  In the standard C300, when you open the panel on the dashboard you get a screen that displays the radio and a knob down on the center console to control it.  In the C63, when you open the hood, a larger screen folds out with more stuff than the standard.  Then, when you press off (or something else i forget) the whole thing folds back in and the panel slides over it unaided.  I discovered this on accident when I pressed the button while reaching for something else.
Earlier in the day, i heard somebody leave in the C63, and they gave it the beans out onto the road.  It sounded incredible, sort of a deep screaming grumble.  When we pulled out, on the other hand, the driver immediately slowed down and got very scared (my mother).  Unfortunately, we were never able to give it a full throttle blast, mainly because we would have ended up in a ditch.  But this car is fast.  I can tell.  Another incredible thing I observed was the comfort.  The seats were great, they wrap around you so you don't fly out the window when you go into the ditch.  It is also, and this surprised me, more comfortable than the C300. 
This car is really incredible, and it can be yours for $46,000 (at least what i was told, it may be different now) at Geneva Foreign & Sports in Geneva, NY (I'm not trying to advertise..........)
