The new-to-E63 electrohydraulic steering system provides enough feedback to repeatedly brush the front bumper against apex cones, but subtle reminders filter back through the steering wheel and seat cushion that, despite the impressive velocity, the E63 is not a lithe,

This is great news, and expected since its met some good reviews in the CLS. Loving the reviews out of the new engine.
But look in the link and scroll all the way down to see a GM fanboy. Tired of those magazine racers, they're all over insideline and youtube.

Mercedes Benz, struggled for 1 decade, (90's) but no more, they are the clear winners after all. Brings great joy to me reading this. Can only imagine What the new W222 will be all about.

Yeah, the next E63 will probably follow suit with an all LED headlight like the CLS63.
Can't wait to see it.

I'm glad the car was generally impressive. But read the article carefully and they didn't exactly give the electrohydraulic system a 100% thumbs up. What they said was this:Originally Posted by Jakpro1

"The new-to-E63 electrohydraulic steering system provides enough feedback to repeatedly brush the front bumper against apex cones, but subtle reminders filter back through the steering wheel and seat cushion that, despite the impressive velocity, the E63 is not a lithe, effortless sports car."
They then go on to say this:
"She changes direction impressively well for a 4100-pound luxury sedan (and 4300-pound wagon), but as warning lights flicker and the rear tires scramble for grip in the transitions, it often is clear that many processors and lines of code are being employed to keep this girl pointed forward."
"She is better on the street, when free to amble along with traffic or pull out to pass with a 6400-rpm wail. Feel free to engage the steering wheel paddles if you like, but for most city driving, simply hammering the gas pedal is all that is required."
Still, it sounds like it is a pretty decent chassis compared to what once existed in the W210-211. We'll have to see what happens when the M5 arrives, but with the direction BMW is going (seemingly now the opposite of what they used to do, at least so far with the F10) I'm guessing the 2012 E63 will be a definite competitor and maybe the winner.

Lets wait and see.
