Your a fool for that post... If you know anything you would know that the gap between the previous C and 3 was the smallest in history in terms of sales, so your fantasy about this car being only for MB fans.. well think again. People in this class? that's like around 3-4 million sales in this class each year..klier knows what everyone wants.. lol!
We will see what's dynamic when the new C63 beats the brakes of the m3

And **** dynamic.. recent MBs have all been praised for their steering and fun factor..much more so than BMW products.. especially when it comes to AMG vs M.
Normal Mercedes cars are meant to be comfortable, and luxurious. Not spartan and sporty like BMWs.. different philosophy.
Fun thing is that when they both dial it up to 11 ( AMG and M models) Mercedes seem to master that in terms of shear driving pleasure way better than BMW these days..
Talk about being disgraced at your own game
You said it, MBs are comfort machines, and their MTs are nothing special, just a normal MT. So the changing of gears is more of a labor than a fun factor in a Mercedes, hence the comfort oriented approach, there is no reason to buy a MT Mercedes.
If you addicted like you say you are..mercedes is not for you.. and i guess you never owned one ( to my knowledge).
For your young racing heart there is only AMG products, and if you were to spend that much money, im sure there is some BMW M with a an MT( if there are any left) that wets your appetite.
So your opinion on a standard benz is to me worth as much as a deaf persons take on a new album.
Your take on a hot hatch i value more.
