Good read...thanks for the post mtl20v... She sure looks sharp in black! Wonder how much the E63 AMG version would cost...bet that would give the CTS-V wagon a run for its money!

2020 E450 Wagon
With options mentioned in the article, the E63 wagon lists for a tick less than $100K. That's before ceramic brakes, Performance package, etc. The Caddy is an impressive value, but it's not a Mercedes. We were recently told at a AMG Private Lounge event that they don't send AMG wagons over as inventory, but they are more than happy to build one for you.

Check it out at mbusa.com, build your own car

A shame the AMG wagon does not have AWD.

Video, if you didn't see it yet...

The Caddy is rear drive also, with no option for AWD for any of the V series cars. The refinement is different, and personally the Caddy V series cars remind me of a take on the Transformers series with the Camaro. Around Detroit, you see a lot of the Vs and not a fan.

Chevrolet Chevette, Ford Pinto, Pontiac Aztek, Trabant, Yugo GV (and all the worst cars ever built)
Although my Wagon is Diamond White, the picture of that interior looks just like mine. Kinda feels like I am stepping into my car. The leather is saddle color and blends sooooo well with the black panels.

They have a black E63 Wagon in the showroom at MB west island in Montreal. It was ordered for stock. I much prefer the shifter setup in the AMG.

WOW, the headrest on the passenger side is nice. Surprised they don't have the newly updated steering wheel on this.
