Cool. A big, brash V8 packed into an elegant looking luxury car makes for quite a good combination. These still look quite new even after ten years. Except for in Black Series trim, the C63 AMG looks quite understated for what it is, not flashy or controversial in the slightest.

 

[Stotty]

Great cars, invariably driven by cocks.

SU

 

[UltimateYosh]

One of the last great naturally aspirated engines. Decent car too

Cool

 

[Neddo]

Black Series is kinda tacky, but still a high cool

 

[ZGBox]

Low cool for being one of the few AMG C-Class that I genuinely like

 

[MatskiMonk]

Couldn't crush an apple on an Apex.

 

[Fastcarguy]

Ive always liked the idea of cramming big motors into relatively normal sedans and wagons. cool

 

[VXR]

A dark-coloured wagon on account of four pipes might be cool at a push.

 

[Roger the Horse]

kinda feel like the different variants should be polled seperately as the C63 Black Coupé is a lot less cool than any of the other variants but especially the saloon and estate models

The entire model was nominated, but I do agree. The Black Series alone would be Uncool in my book.

 

[LivingWithGames]

One of the many Mercedes I am perfectly fine with, High cool!

 

[Doog]

One of the best sounding stock exhausts in my opinion.



On sound alone it should get a sub-zero, but overall it gets brought down to a cool because the interior is pretty chintzy.

 

[Wiegert]

A great sound ruined by the tossers invariably in control of the throttle.

Uncool

 

[Snorevette]

Meant to vote SU (on account of the people who drive it) but it's late at night and I accidentally clicked SZ instead. Ah well

 

[TheCracker]

Drivetrain: front-engine, all-wheel drive

Wasn't the C63 (W204) available as rear-drive only?

It seems so, @GranTurNismo needs to edit that unless he's got examples of an AWD version.

Overall... meh. AMG is cool but somehow this car doesn't hang together for me.

This car gets a SZ from me. As I progress in age, I definitely find myself appreciating things like sports sedans over small coupes or sports cars. Mixing the fact that I general have at least one passanger in my car, usually multiple as well as the performance aspects, Ive definitely grown to love them.
I love the look of the black and wagon especially. That orange is stunning. And that wagon! So good. The V8 has an amazing growl to it and can easily light the tires. Honestly this cars one serious failing is a lack of a proper manual transmission. Which older me is happy to let slide with a thanks from my left knee.

This was probably the first AMG C Class where it it had comparable Performance to the BMW M3, it was terrible on the track but it obliterated the M3 in a Straight line.

It's start up and sound are brutal, but honestly the people that drive this car here bring this down to uncool, it is almost exclusively driven by Tossers, but even so I would still love to own one.

 

[Moglet]

As much as I like them personally I don't think they're cool. They look like they're making up for something.

 

[MisterWaffles]

There’s a wagon version.

Everyone should be voting cool because of that sole fact.
