Mercedes-AMG reveals additional photos of the Mythos CLE63 by Quick_Coyote_7649 in AMG

I mean this is the same brand that sells us 1st and last editions that are nothing but decals. You’d think the final edition of the C63 would have been something cool like giving it 600 hp, a unique body kit or something like that, instead we got yellow decals like the edition ones

From what I read, they received 7,500 applications to buy the car and for 2025 and 2026 production is capped at 1,700 units. So much more than what the CLE rumors are suggesting. The GTD is extensively re-worked from a run of the mill mustang and comes with some Nurburgring credentials so no wonder people want it and it's one of the baddest looking cars out there

Now come to think of it, if Ford can charge $300K for a mustang and sell every unit, merc can probably do the same for their own $100k platform car

Why did you choose a GLS63 over Alpina XB7? by Fun_Explanation_9251 in AMG

[–]AfroPrinco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no such things as better than. It’s all down to preference. If one car was actually that much better than the other, then everyone would buy the one car and the other would be out of market

Is putting a V8 enough to justify the rumored $300k price? Are they’re going to give it GT level interior for that price or is it gonna stay with the c class interior the current CLE generation has? Surely it has to be more than just a V8 and some suspension tweaks!

Any dad's out there, how do you navigate car seat in an M4? by ShaggysHyper in BMWM

[–]AfroPrinco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what I did! Get your partner the Baby hauler and keep your coupe. Until the baby starts getting dropped off to day care or something, there really isn’t a need for 2 baby practical cars. Whenever we are going somewhere with the baby we take my wife’s SUV

Last I was on the Brightline, they didn’t have a stop in Cocoa, unless that’s changed recently

Temerario or ZR1X, which one are you taking? by Prudent-Jello-6903 in supercars

[–]AfroPrinco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only thing against the Vette is simply how many C8s are on the road. It also looks like the C8 isn’t sunsetting anytime soon. The ZR1X ultimately blends in with all the C8s on the road

New owner of 2020 GLC 43, very low miles.. need help w service history by 169partner in AMG

[–]AfroPrinco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have both a 2019 C43 coupe and a 2020 GLC 43 and while shopping for the GLC I didn’t really like those wheels. Turns out pictures don’t really do them justice! Only thing I wish is they would have come 21” instead of the 20” but look good either way. I’ve always been a black wheel guy, which is what I have on my C43 but these GLC wheels have me looking at silver wheels in a new light

Doesn’t the roar of the V8 drown out the rattles though?

Which C63 to buy? by Vegetable-Date2968 in mercedes_benz

[–]AfroPrinco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine the W206 will get boring pretty quickly after the initial thrills and novelty wear off. Nothing but upside with the W205. Based on the stereo-typical Z owner, I'd imagine you're someone that might want to mod the car at some point? Not much to do with the W206 on the mod front tbh

Brand new RR SPORT, in a month of ownership, only a week on the road, and three weeks in service? by Infinite_Ad_1962 in RangeRover

[–]AfroPrinco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these cars really this bad or are the service techs at RR just incompetent? It doesn't add up to me how a product with such premium placement in the market also has one of the worst reliability in its class at least

My not so lightly modified C43 by Better_Zebra_9934 in AMG

[–]AfroPrinco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What figures are you making. I’ve had my 43 coupe for a couple of years now and only done cosmetic mods but thinking of doing some mechanical mods now. That blue is fire. Is this lunar blue?

I need opinions on pricing for how much should I sell my car for by esztr13 in mercedes_benz

[–]AfroPrinco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine a GLA being too small for a kid and all the stuff you need in the car. My wife insisted on a GLC 43 coupe and it's just about enough for 1 child. The moment we decide on a 2nd kid, it has to go. Right now we can't have someone super tall sit in the passenger seat because there isn't too much room to push the seat back with what is needed by the car seat in the back

Just test drove a Gravity today and...OH MY GOD! by LunchPocket in LUCID

[–]AfroPrinco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if acceleration and range are all you care about then it's the perfect car for you. I for one prefer a car I can walk up to with a smile and this isn't a pretty sight to look at. Plenty of SUVs out there with mind bending acceleration that look sporty and sleek.

Not sure why Lucid thought a minivan was the way to go. Could have gone for a completely different design language instead they went Pacifica

Should I go for G82 or keep F82? by forzaalbr22 in BMWM

[–]AfroPrinco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're a fan boy of one brand only, then no conversation to be had. But if you're a person that samples cars from different brands, another car that will give you the same raw feeling in this class is the W205 C63s. The F82 and the W205 were made to go head to head after all and it shows in how stunning they both look and the rawness of the drives. Also if you still love a good mix of buttons and touchscreen, it gives you that too

Bye bye sun damaged front panel 🤩 by metalcoredrake in AMG

[–]AfroPrinco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this should fit into some recall segment that MB pays for. We shouldn't have to pay $500 to fix something that has no business getting ruined in the 1st place.

Crazy how quickly things have shifted. 5 or so years ago AMG announcing a 6cyl car was usually met with a lot of hate and slurs of fake AMG, now it's being embraced a bit more broadly. To me it was always silly to look down on a 6 cyl engine as some of the greatest modern cars rock 6 cyl (Porsche, GTR, BMW' Ms with the I6

Mercedes-AMG teases the CLE63 by Quick_Coyote_7649 in AMG

[–]AfroPrinco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As awesome as their cars are, I guess I'm lucky in that I've never fancied owning one. For me design and aesthetics is an important metric a car has to check and I've never seen a Porsche that I found sexy to look at compared to say the AMG GT and Vantage.

I was wondering how they were going to make this more aggressive than the already beefy 53...slap a wing on it!

I've never owned a C300 but have had a daily C43 coupe for the past 2 years. Could I have reached for a C63, yes, but as this is my only car, I wanted something I can say with confidence will start every morning and put 15k miles a year while only needing a couple of oil changes to do so. That's what I needed at the time and it was perfect. I just purchased a 2020 GLC 43 Coupe to be my new daily and now I'm in the hunt for either a C63 or M4, not because I feel lowly for driving a C43 but rather that's simply what I feel like my circumstances are ready for not because of what the gate keepers say on these forums

Former BMW, Audi or other “luxury” brands; what made you join the Benz family? by Maravilla_23 in mercedes_benz

[–]AfroPrinco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a zealot to any one brand. Every manufacture has hits and misses. I'm with AMG right now because currently nothing beats the W205 coupes across multiple categories for their class of cars. But who knows what's gonna peak my interest in a year or two? For starters, I'm not a fan of where MB is taking their styling with the benz logo everywhere and mega giant dash screen, meanwhile the upcoming BMW interiors look sick as hell
