Hmm..sooo hard to get rid of the AMG Wagon

Been on the fence about getting a new 2008 AMG and have even put my car up for sale to see what the response might be....

That put a HUGE smile on my face. I love my E63 wagon; it is the ultimate sleeper car. Thanks for the post.

The AMG wagons are the coolest cars AMG makes. Never sell your cars. They're faster than the normal E classes and they are more rare. (How is the handling on them?) And you can fit 7 people in it. Or your dogs.

Awesome Video if you haven't seen it.

Don't ever get rid of your wagon. One of the best vehicles made to date by AMG IMO. If anything get a 2010 AMG when they come out with one.

If i remember you and I brought our wagon about the same time....

Dont sell it.... I also was thinking about selling a few months ago... nothing came close to what our wagons can do for now... unless Audi is going to release RS6 Avant here in US.

Nice to see you again, I had to roll out (wife's b-day and she called saying she wanted ribs--which is hours of work)..........

I think you're right, maybe I should wait until the 2010's come out.

I was going to sell mine, as it makes no sense to own as many cars as I do, but I just couldn't do it. Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

I see a Canary yellow one running around the West Palm Beach area on occasion. Very nice looking wagon and I just love the yellow paint.

Would love to talk to the owner. I mean, anyone that buys a 500 HP station wagon in flaming yellow has got to be interesting.
