That is why the c43 exists now. It's simply a less expensive variant.

For us in the know it is disturbing that the car was a c450 a year ago, but I bet if I blindfolded you to this fact and asked you to create a less expensive version of a c63 you would come up with something very similar to the c43.

Now whether amg should be going to downmarket or expanding its sales is another question all together. I'm not sure on that one
Truth be told, while I can only speak for myself but I'm sure I'm not alone, 95% of the time I'd be happier w the 43 vs the 63 even if price were not so far apart. I've driven both sedans and the 63 just seemed like overkill for my driving habits and the 450 would be my choice. Not that I'm saying I'd buy a 450 but if my choices were only those two cars I would.
