Oh i agree. I have a spot reserved for the new M3 and C63 AMG. I would like to at least get the chance to drive the benz before I make my choice. But I know I will most likely go with the BMW just for the reasons you have stated below (Not to mention I'm a BMW factory tech and I know the product). Looking at the JD Power info for the last C class kind of scares me.

These things prohibit me from putting the $$$ out on an AMG C63:
1. The terrible tacked on body cladding.
2. Questionable reliability of recent Benz products
3. Most importantly: Lack of a true Manual Transmission.
