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.

A shame the AMG wagon does not have AWD.

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.

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.
