Carlos and Jason make a really point in this video about enjoyment over lap times. It's why I love my Jag XK8 4.2 so much, it is literally physically pleasurable to drive it down the road. Every mile that you drive is actually enjoyable at any speed. There's something about it that's very hard to describe or quantify, but when you're driving along listening to that beautiful v8, with that great view down the bonnet, and watching flecks of sunlight dance over the walnut dash picking up different colours here and there, and when you turn into a corner and feel the car rotate and feel the steering, there's nothing else like it. But I bet it's rubbish on a track and probably not great objectively. But as an experience it's second to none. Oh and by the way it's incredibly reliable and it gets 28mpg. We really have gone backwards in some ways in the car world, but it's nice to know that Mercedes is still clinging on to the idea of actually making a car that isn't a pretend race car.
Nik Brudar omg dude.. im serious u need to go doctor. show this comment to your friends and im sure they will agree with me. swear u are being gay already.
awis kwan I wouldn't mess with Nik, he's Russian mafia and will send some guys to your house in the middle of the night. The only thing you will hear is a rush of air as the garrote wire whips around your neck. 🕷
THAT VIDEO SHOULD GO DIRECTLY AT THE CAR MANUFACTURERS SCHOOLBOOKS!!! That is the exact point I defend from years! I don't care how fast is the damn thing on Nürburgring (even if I have the luck to drive it it would be once in a lifetime), I care what smile it puts on my face when I'm going for the weekend shops or to the dentist... Thank you guys! THANK YOU!!!
C63 would be my choice for the exact reason you guys said. Mercedes just does the whole car well and so solid everytime. This is the car to go 140 in on a road trip all day. While going on a canyon and handling stable. Also nice to hear you have a c43... one of my favorite amg's!
Guys what a fucking honest and great review. I had a ton of fast cars and many people judge cars by lap times when this is such a small part of the equation. M3 is great on track but even after 4 laps the car has no brakes and a Caterham dissapears. Cars are about emotion, fun performance at 7/10 when your driving fast to work or gym etc. Loved his honest unbiased reviews
Ralf Kelendji for a track car, I would take the m3, for a car i would want to enjoy every day I would take the c63 or Giulia QV over the m3 any day, even an m3 with the competition package (didn't even knew one existed for the f80 m3).
Ralf Kelendji the Alfa has a twin turbo 6 cylinder, just like the m3 and the Alfa sounds soooooo much better (in my opinion) and looks nicer (again in my opinion). but those are subjective things that are different to everyone
I'm glad there's other ppl that still have that euphoric feeling while in the presence of an AMG. everyone who owns one where I live drive them around like their Hyuandis and no big deal.
So glad I found this "review" of the C63 S. It really spoke to me and what I have been contemplating. I have test driven both a 2017 M3 (w/ Competition Package) and the C63 S (w/ Exhaust Package). Granted, a 2 mile loop, doesn't really give you a great feel for a vehicle, it does allow a first impression. I loved the M3, but in the back of my head, I thought, "Is it a bit stiff? Would that get old?". After the C63 S test, I was left thinking, "Do I actually love this old man car over the M3?" When I really contemplated both drives, I focused on "real world" driving and I saw myself in the MB. I am going to be 47 this summer, so maybe I am the right demographic. I don't know. The MB seemed to be a well thought out vehicle (except for that stupid iPad stuck on the dash) with attention to detail, while the BMW seemed to be designed for track days. Anyway, it was great to see this video and hear the guys discuss the car the way I have been thinking.
It`s like Adam Sandler faxed a picture of him self, and that became Jason, and then Jason did the same and we get Carlos... Sounds like a 80`s movie, but! I would watch it!
Great review nailed it. Amgs are for fun and emotions, not lap times unless you are looking at the GT's but even then there are quicker cars, but not as well rounded.
They are so right! This is why i always loved AMG more then BMW, lap times isn't important when your driving your car around town or where ever you are going.
Jason said it perfectly, "at the end of the day, the looks, the performance.." it isn't just what car is the fastest in it's class, if you can afford it, just go for the one you want.
Either Jason is gonna be proud after reading these comments for looking like someone younger than him .. or Carlos is gonna be embarrassed for everyone saying he looks older than he really is
Exactly. I thought I was watching Adam Sandler and Ben Affleck. Two handsome dudes talking about the Mercedes. But guess what? They were 100% right! I agree with every word they said. Good job boys. Excellent job. The Merc is terrific and a great sporty luxury car. Thanks for confirming I made the right decision buying one. All the best, Regards, Jim.
I'm so glad to finally see these guys together! They really look so similar! Also you can see in Jason's face that he wishes he was driving instead of Carlos.
I sure do! I still wish that Mercedes wouldn't lie with their numbers on the trunk; it may sound better if a 6.3L V8 were in there to match the sticker in back.
That is HILARIOUS! Did anyone notice they're dressed the same even?!? I think MT was trolling everyone by pushing something already obvious to anyone who has watched MT for years. Cammisa and Lago are basically clones. :D
That's a good point about the brakes. In the long run, you might even SAVE money on not having to swap out rusted steel rear rotors. Especially in a street-focused car like the C-class.
Beautiful car. I completely agree with what Jason was saying... and this has been echoed by James May in the past... it seems like too many cars these days have been designed and built to conquer the Nurburgring. So when will you take that car over to Germany and actually do that? That said, if I can ever buy one of these (I hope to one day), I might take it to the track every once in a while and have fun! But I would love to use it in the meantime as a daily driver and I think AMG is one of the best in the business at this. Anyway... thanks for a good episode!
Yes, thank you for pointing out how boring most performance cars are at normal speeds! In most cases, cars are at their best at their limits, but when the cars limits are so high you could never possibly get near them. Using the BRZ as an example, it may be slow and you may need to plan ahead, but that in itself is an experience, as opposed to, say, an M4, where you just pass whenever you feel like without thinking. And if I was looking for a fun car to drive every day, I would want something that makes me grin at normal speeds, even though it may end up costing it in lap times. I'd take the BRZ over the M4 any day.
MERCEDES BENZ the BEST or NOTHING! (Do the MERCEDES AMG GTR It just did a 7:10 on the Nurburgring track FASTEST PRODUCTION REAR WHEEL DRIVE CAR RECORD) It's only 577HP can't wait until the all wheel drive Mercedes E63 S 604/627 Torque does!!)
Yes I own a 3 seriesf30 330i LCI with adaptive, . Have driven an M5. Drove a 2018 C63 a short while ago. M5 is faster and has awesome grip, much faster than c63 in straight line and bends. Also more comfortable and more spacious the c63. My bm has more space in the back seats, is more comfortable and has better steering than the C63. The C63 just made me smile all the time and yes I want one. Felt usable and fun. Have to get saving for a lightly used one. An unusual technical thing, it’s engine is long stroke. That seems old fashioned and inefficient. Piston speed and frictional losses must be very high at its 8000 rpm redline. I guess it’s to shave a few cm off the engines length. While not really paranoid about fuel consumption have heard some getting 6mpg!? Think before I buy will need another test drive for no other reason than to zero the computer see what I get the way iDrive. I hope somewhere between 17 and 25 uk mpg. I get 28 from the Beamer. Could not live with crazy low mpg in uk where fuel is around 9 usd. Would either keep what I have or consider a G20 M340i else.
My C63 S Estate came around 3 weeks ago. The engine sound is amazing, I've done 1000km and the break-in process still has a bit to go, so no going above 4500rpm :(
Having a hard time telling these guys apart....
Yeah i honestly thought the thumbnail was a photoshopped jason sitting next to another jason
Nightakula thank you I was like they're twins wth
Nightakula had the exact same issue. Thought it was a cheesy camera trick at first.
Guess their mom has some explaining to do.
Yeah the thumbnail made it look clickbate-ish lol
Adam Sandler and Ben Affleck drive a Mercedes
LMAO. Good one.
Adam Sandler yes Ben Affleck divided by 2
J. Ward 😂😂😂💯
It's like two brothers but Carlos was the one who went to an ivy league school and Jason was the one who wanted to do stand up
Carlos and Jason make a really point in this video about enjoyment over lap times. It's why I love my Jag XK8 4.2 so much, it is literally physically pleasurable to drive it down the road.

This was so creepy to watch! You two are freakin identical.
Nik Brudar i think u need to go doctor before it get worst.
i find u gay.
awis kwan What the fuck have I just read..
Nik Brudar omg dude.. im serious u need to go doctor.
show this comment to your friends and im sure they will agree with me. swear u are being gay already.
awis kwan I wouldn't mess with Nik, he's Russian mafia and will send some guys to your house in the middle of the night. The only thing you will hear is a rush of air as the garrote wire whips around your neck. 🕷
I thought you'd stopped commenting shit on car videos (because that's what it is), well obviously not.
Bout time they did a Carlos Lago Jason Cammisa mix up!
in bed
Yes because everything in the world needs a "gay lovers" edition...
Jason Cammisa is one of my favs
THAT VIDEO SHOULD GO DIRECTLY AT THE CAR MANUFACTURERS SCHOOLBOOKS!!!
That is the exact point I defend from years! I don't care how fast is the damn thing on Nürburgring (even if I have the luck to drive it it would be once in a lifetime), I care what smile it puts on my face when I'm going for the weekend shops or to the dentist...
Thank you guys! THANK YOU!!!
"Oh, It stalled" "I forgot how to drive Automatic"..
Shots fired at Start/Stop lol
This proves something I've suspected for a while: Jason and Carlos would make a great podcast duo.
PUT Carlos BACK IN IGNITION MOTOR TREND!!!
NO
Yes
Abdullah Almosawy
Fuck you, Carlos was the reason everyone watched motored trend in the past, besides the cars
Daniel vera true that , i miss the days he was host
This guy looks like Ryan Reynolds crossed with Matt LeBlanc
Loebane
That may be the most spot on description of a person I've seen.
Adam Sandler
Loebane loooool
Jason making good points as usual. Good pairing with Carlos...
That thumbnail messed with my mind. Thought I was looking at twins.
you two actually make a good pair. I guess its the "chaos" and "order" dichotomy at work.
Jason should be the face of Motor Trend. I mean the guy is more known than all the other guys there. Jason KING!! 🔱
I endorse this statement. :)
What the fuck?! I thought they were the same guy until this very minute!
me too
C63 would be my choice for the exact reason you guys said. Mercedes just does the whole car well and so solid everytime. This is the car to go 140 in on a road trip all day. While going on a canyon and handling stable. Also nice to hear you have a c43... one of my favorite amg's!
Glitch in the matrix.
Seriously, I didn't know Carlos was gone until someone mentioned it.
***** He's back. He just does the prime "Daily Fix" shows that are on MT OnDemand.
Pay to play as they say.
The 2017 C63 S coupe is even more of a beast than the sedan imo. Fatter tires and some suspension upgrades and still decent room in the back haha.
Bmw fanboys won't understand a damn thing you guys said in this video.
> anime picture
> makes fun of people
` >meme arrows
back to reddit for you
` LMAO triggered
XDDDD TRIGGERED LE SICCKKK MEME XDDDD
Duuude why haven't Carlos and Jason done a head 2 head yet
They did...It's on the gay porn channel....
LOL, umm no.
JasonCammisa LMAO *Head* to *Head* Ahh that's funny homoerotic wordplay
Yeaaaa!........
D McC I'm disappointed I laughed out loud at that lol
Guys what a fucking honest and great review. I had a ton of fast cars and many people judge cars by lap times when this is such a small part of the equation. M3 is great on track but even after 4 laps the car has no brakes and a Caterham dissapears. Cars are about emotion, fun performance at 7/10 when your driving fast to work or gym etc. Loved his honest unbiased reviews
I love where Motortrend is going. These guys are cool.
Am i the only one with the biggest man-crush on Carlos?
The Two best that motortrend had on there team
Jonny and Carlos are my two favorites because they've been downing the shows the longest, but Jason is good too!
Carlos Lago and Jason camisa are awesome hosts
Why is there two Jason's in the Mercedes?
I think you guys did a great job explaining the differences between people's expectations and the realities of most drivers
6:10 - 6:15 next head 2 head confirmed; Alfa Romeo Giulia QV vs Mercedes C63 amg s or/and BMW m3 (for thoses who don't have motor trend on demand)
Kenneth Dike the m3 competition package will fuck them all around the track
+Ralf Kelendji it's still boring & emotionless
Ralf Kelendji for a track car, I would take the m3, for a car i would want to enjoy every day I would take the c63 or Giulia QV over the m3 any day, even an m3 with the competition package (didn't even knew one existed for the f80 m3).
Ralf Kelendji the Alfa has a twin turbo 6 cylinder, just like the m3 and the Alfa sounds soooooo much better (in my opinion) and looks nicer (again in my opinion). but those are subjective things that are different to everyone
Kenneth Dike @ 13:45 look out the windows, their gunna review the m3, C63, Gulia, and the Cadillac Ats-v all together!
I'm glad there's other ppl that still have that euphoric feeling while in the presence of an AMG. everyone who owns one where I live drive them around like their Hyuandis and no big deal.
I'm seeing double.
jason & johnny best combination
its carlos, fucking its carlos!
I just test drove this last night. God, Jason’s comments are spot on - Tasmanian devil on Red Bull. Put a smile on my face.
After watching this video, I am a little bit regret to buy the 2017 M3...
jackson michael Get the Giulia QV and call it a day haha
jackson michael m3 is boss
jackson michael don't be man.. m3 is a super quick car an looks gorgeous
Don't you dare regreting buying an M3!!!! :)
At least it comes with dual clutch which no other competitors do that
Holy mind fuck they're not the same person
The thumbnail tripped me out...they look the same😂
I really enjoyed listening to this conversation! a lot great perspectives about what is truly valuable in a car. Great job guys!
"Take the groceries to work" lol
Jason lago and carlos cammisa make a great dopplegang'in duo
I've been watching Motortrend videos for almost a year now, and I've just realized these are, in fact, two different people.
Carlos is great simple person I like him
So glad I found this "review" of the C63 S. It really spoke to me and what I have been contemplating. I have test driven both a 2017 M3 (w/ Competition Package) and the C63 S (w/ Exhaust Package).

It`s like Adam Sandler faxed a picture of him self, and that became Jason, and then Jason did the same and we get Carlos...
Sounds like a 80`s movie, but! I would watch it!
twin brothers, also add one from Fast Lane Daily, Derek D,
Glad to have carlos back! Very articulate with words and thoughts.
Uhm, ... I don't know how to say this, but I thought you two were one person until I saw both of you in one (this) video. xD
Great review nailed it. Amgs are for fun and emotions, not lap times unless you are looking at the GT's but even then there are quicker cars, but not as well rounded.
Thanks for the free episode MT!
one of the best pieces of logical layman's commentary i've heard in a long time. bravo and spot on!
(GT4 owner)
Most honest car review ever...
i love the C63
I tought these two guys were the same...
Add Adam Sandler in the mix and try to find who is who!
me too; i thought they were the same guy twice in this very video; thought it was a video gimmick.
I've watched this so many times. Need this car.
I love my AMG's. My dad's cls55 AMG is so dope.
I'll keep my real 6.2L, 14 c63 amg 507 edition, thanks.
Yoo Jastle no problem
As opposed to the fake one?
Designed by Speed yes
Designed by Speed its not fake tho
you keep it in your dream?
They are so right!
This is why i always loved AMG more then BMW, lap times isn't important when your driving your car around town or where ever you are going.
Jason said it perfectly, "at the end of the day, the looks, the performance.." it isn't just what car is the fastest in it's class, if you can afford it, just go for the one you want.
No hi there :'(
I just realized it says "Jason Cammisa stunt double" in the video. That explains everything. Still weird though.
lol they're wearing matching jumpers and I can't tell them apart
Love you bros!!
Either Jason is gonna be proud after reading these comments for looking like someone younger than him
.. or Carlos is gonna be embarrassed for everyone saying he looks older than he really is
It's crazy how much we look alike. It's really strange seeing it in the videos. But I'm a lot older than Carlos... so it's all a compliment to me. :)
Exactly. I thought I was watching Adam Sandler and Ben Affleck. Two handsome dudes talking about the Mercedes. But guess what? They were 100% right! I agree with every word they said. Good job boys. Excellent job. The Merc is terrific and a great sporty luxury car. Thanks for confirming I made the right decision buying one. All the best, Regards, Jim.
They almost look like twins.
Watching this 3 years late...but best video mt ever produced.
Bring both of these guys back!!!
This narrow back road looks like a lot of fun.
that road and the view on it is beautiful, and then this beautiful fun car, what a blast
The current C-class is nice. My coworker has a C450, and it's a nice place to be and feels pretty quick too.
It calls not noise, but the music. "I like it" :D
Is that a Giulia in the back @ 13:55 :o
I'm so glad to finally see these guys together! They really look so similar! Also you can see in Jason's face that he wishes he was driving instead of Carlos.
Totally true. You hear that motor?
I sure do! I still wish that Mercedes wouldn't lie with their numbers on the trunk; it may sound better if a 6.3L V8 were in there to match the sticker in back.
Oh! It's free!! Feelin' special!
That is HILARIOUS! Did anyone notice they're dressed the same even?!? I think MT was trolling everyone by pushing something already obvious to anyone who has watched MT for years. Cammisa and Lago are basically clones. :D
Motor Trend was so good.
Nice to know that Motor Trend is doing one takes now!
I'll admit, the first like ten motortrend vids I watched I didn't realize these dudes were different people
This could do as an awesome daily driver!
How the hell are you tired of Carbon Fiber in performance cars?!
Based on your review, I wanna buy this car. Thank you!
Can't wait for this head to head
That's a good point about the brakes. In the long run, you might even SAVE money on not having to swap out rusted steel rear rotors. Especially in a street-focused car like the C-class.
Hey guys what road was this?
That's the road leading into Borrego Springs! Great scenery!
Where was this road? Looks like a nice drive.
Beautiful car. I completely agree with what Jason was saying... and this has been echoed by James May in the past... it seems like too many cars these days have been designed and built to conquer the Nurburgring. So when will you take that car over to Germany and actually do that? That said, if I can ever buy one of these (I hope to one day), I might take it to the track every once in a while and have fun!

I'd take the BRZ over the M4 any day.
Mobile Bacon Machine my friend said the same thing now hes stuck inna 3yr lease and regrets buying a brz
Panagiotis F There are worse things to be stuck in
2:39 Adam Sandler trying to imitate Arnold Schwarzenegger
No lie, that thumbnail made me think that they photoshopped Jason into both seats
Who of them is Jason and Carlos? Haha they are identical.
MERCEDES BENZ the BEST or NOTHING! (Do the MERCEDES AMG GTR It just did a 7:10 on the Nurburgring track FASTEST PRODUCTION REAR WHEEL DRIVE CAR RECORD) It's only 577HP can't wait until the all wheel drive Mercedes E63 S 604/627 Torque does!!)
you deserve more show than those other dude in this channel.
keep it up n our demand will be please. lol
Carlos Cammisa?
Jason and Carlos are like brothers
It has one of if not the best sounding exhaust nice.
Yes I own a 3 seriesf30 330i LCI with adaptive, . Have driven an M5. Drove a 2018 C63 a short while ago. M5 is faster and has awesome grip, much faster than c63 in straight line and bends. Also more comfortable and more spacious the c63. My bm has more space in the back seats, is more comfortable and has better steering than the C63. The C63 just made me smile all the time and yes I want one. Felt usable and fun. Have to get saving for a lightly used one. An unusual technical thing, it’s engine is long stroke. That seems old fashioned and inefficient. Piston speed and frictional losses must be very high at its 8000 rpm redline. I guess it’s to shave a few cm off the engines length. While not really paranoid about fuel consumption have heard some getting 6mpg!? Think before I buy will need another test drive for no other reason than to zero the computer see what I get the way iDrive. I hope somewhere between 17 and 25 uk mpg. I get 28 from the Beamer. Could not live with crazy low mpg in uk where fuel is around 9 usd. Would either keep what I have or consider a G20 M340i else.

My C63 S Estate came around 3 weeks ago. The engine sound is amazing, I've done 1000km and the break-in process still has a bit to go, so no going above 4500rpm :(
