FAST FACTS
"How the mighty have fallen. We hate to say it, but it's true. We can still hear the 2008 C63's 6.2-liter V8 engine echoing off the walls of the test track as it thundered toward the quarter-mile like a German interpretation of NASCAR. How did we get from there to the four-cylinder PHEV monstrosity that today's C63 has become? You get less than 10 miles of EV range in this C63, and there is no confidence that its fuel economy will impress. So what's the point? The C63 became an icon on the basis of its sound and character, and both are in short supply here."—Ranked #4 out of 5 Compact High-Performance Sedans
