E63 wagon - picked up today

Traded my Cayenne GTS for it today. Very happy with it, really reminds me of my '06 E55 so much. Love the 7spd/6.2L combo - great from a dig and rolling.






And, most importantly, Moose approves

Dog acceptance factor is critical. Smart dogs know that AMG > Porsche.

Dude, that is a great looking lab! I’m freaking out because I normally take my two labs to be boarded in the wife’s station wagon, but she’ll be gone next week when I have to do it and unless I find alternative arrangements, I’m going to have to put them in the back of my 05 E55 sedan!!! :-S Scares the begeezes out of me. Trying to figure out another solution. Congrats on das Auto. Very sharp!

Don't be afraid. . .Our ridgeback goes everywhere with us in the E - got a back seat cover - can't even tell he's been back there (he's not a lab but he can do damage if he wants). Just remember to get the "doggie seat belts" and you're good!

The wagon is perfect for dogs. Our English Mastiff (165 pounds) loves riding in ours.

Great looking pup! He looks right at home in the back of your ride. I have 2 Labs - it will be tight with the back seats up, but it's only for short trips. For longer trips, I'll drop the seats.

They prefer the extra room of my Suburban.

Can you post up a pic of him in the back? A friend with 2 Danes was looking at super wagons - I told him that the E63 is the way to go

Beautiful car! The puppy dog looks pretty happy too. My little buddy came running out when we brought home our E63, so off for a ride we went. He has only been in it twice, but he always enjoys the wind in his fur.

Thanks, guys.

The pups are always happy






I didn't think I missed my E55 that much, but now that I have this E63 wagon I realize I really needed another E AMG in the garage. I liked my Cayenne, but it was a PITA to own. It was always having some electrical glitch with the suspension, plus all my local Porsche dealers suck *****.

When we went on trips with it and put the seats down for the dogs, there still wasn't a ton of room because the seats didn't fold totally flat. The E has more room in the back than the Cayenne

I was initially worried I wouldn't like the ash interior with the lighter wood (my E55 had black w/birdseye maple), but the contrasting colors of the interior look great. It won't show as much hair as the all black interior of my Cayenne.

Ahhhh, gotcha.

I drive through there on my way to Germantown everyday. You're probably right in the Barnseville, Comus, Thurston Rd, triangle. I see a guy with a G500 back there almost daily, but I've never seen any of your rides.
