E63 S (estate&wagon) 4MATIC reviews nowhere to be found

I have seen very few reviews of the E63 S 4MATIC - its strange to say the least give what this car means for MB... and a first legit AWD competitor to the quattros S/RS models

Car and Driver did one. Chris Harris did one. There are 1 or two in Sweedish.

Now that the car has been released in the US, I am sure more will come. To be honest, it doesn't need a review as it is selling like hot cakes. Engines are on back order because AMG didn't anticipate the demand for the new 4Matic car.


Turn on the subtitles. He talks about the 4 matic system and shows that the car can still drift.

I have read and seen this and other reviews, but they are somehow too superficial for my taste... I would like an updated comparison to Audi (RS7 or RS6) and BMW (although BMW doesn't have anything in M that's AWD...)

Interestingly there is a new comparison of RS6 and a RWD e63 wagon... which is also pointless IMO....

Here's a German review, translated:
http://translate.google.com/translat...mg-s-4matic%2F

And their video: Sadly, the translation sucks, but it's funny if you understand German. Basically, E63 is perverse, criminal, and a joy.

Yes, especially since they're actually kind of funny. If you have any questions, ask away, and I may be able to give you a translation.

One point they made was you can drive it like any normal sedan, easy throttle, but with one jab on the gas you have a beast capable of going sideways anywhere. And they were laughing about the bad gas mileage, but fat guy is like "meh, s**t on the fuel economy." And obviously they loved the sounds. And their giggling at the downshifting blips (8:50) is pretty much like mine the 1st time I experience it.
