Oh please stop spouting irrelevant 0-60 times. Mine is meant to do it in 4.4. Have I tried it yet? No. however, overtaking ability is epic.

It'll be more epic in the E63. I mean it's an entire second faster to 60 than your barge

My barge has one thing a Merc will never have though.

What's this barge you talk about? garage says Jag XF-R nice car as much a barge as the 5 series incl M5. Does this new E63 rip this Jag limb from limb?

I buy cars primarily on looks. Mercs are currently way way down the pile, as they don't have them.

Jag X type
Audi A4

You certainly bent the rules on those lead balloons.

Yep. Not proud with some those.

The x-type was for a reason that didn't last long. The Audis, well just a phase I went through

Is it eligibility for a free bus pass?

Given how old that joke is, I guess you got your bus pass years ago

Everyones different, I'd take an E63 over a Jag any day.

[T16OLE]

Looks great & bet it goes better.

Those huge bezels around the nav are horrid though.

I also think those Michelin tyres look brilliant

[gizlaroc]

You can chose more classic trims and the lighting is completely adjustable...

[Zanderman]

I want one of these rather badly, love the AMG products (just purchased a new C63) but the only thing I would change is the crappy traction in anything other than completely dry conditions. This would appear to solve that.

I might have missed this but anyone know price point and when they go on sale?

I'm considering a current generation E63 wagon as practical family transport, as we are planning a family right now and a pair of two-seaters and a 1990 Saab convertible don't really work.

Mind you, as the other option on my shortlist is a Bentley Arnage T Mulliner, I should really be banned from all sensible car decisions by my wife. Luckily, she leaves this stuff to me.

This new E63 looks epic. Still think I'd have the RS6, though (without actually having driven the Merc, admittedly)

From standard non 'S' version to well optioned S version the range is looking like 76-90k

I think the traction in the c63 is pretty epic given the amount of power on tap.

Leave TC on and its relatively benign.

On dry roads. yes. but anything else...
