The Official '12 AMG C63 Estate rant thread
That does it. I've had enough. I want a 2012 AMG C63 Estate (with P31 of course) so badly that I want to scream. I know I am not alone.
So this thread is dedicated to those that live in parts of the world where the fraking thing is unobtainum.
Here's the article that got me so wound up this morning:

Cek, I had a tuned Audi S4 Estate - absolutely a blast to drive.
I don't think there was any other comparable wagon I could have purchased in the states.
We always get the short end of the stick in the US - options, wheels, models.
For now all we can do is ********** to olszowa12's estate.

You are totally correct, bring the wagons.
I desperately wanted an AMG wagon but really didn't an E. Fortunately, thankfully Mercedes was the only OEM between BMW and Audi to bring their big hi-po wagons over (S4 aside, wanted RS4... denied there too).
So I eventually wrapped my head around buying a E63 Wagon. After searching and searching I discovered that there were none in the US on dealer lots during the 3 months span I was looking. Per MB, ...... we do sell it in the US, they are just order only...... So if there was ever one sitting on a lot it was because someone cancelled it and lost their deposit.
My dealer essentially made it very difficult for me and pressured me into one of their many ML63's. I eventually relented considering I ultimately paid $20k less than the E wag I would have ordered.
While I enjoyed the ML I broke the lease early and got a E63 sedan.
I too am a lover of the E63 Wagon, RS6 Avant, then RS4 Avant, RS3, M5 Touring.
Now the new E63 Wagon is not even available. I believe MB sold fewer E63 Wagons than they did R63's. That's impressively low!
