Yea me too...

from the article

"The 2018 Mercedes AMG E63 S is wrought from the middle of your Venn diagram of desires. You want a car with power and personality; you need a car that can carry kids and cargo. You want a 600 horsepower hot rod; you need safety and subtly. You like wagons, because you have good taste and are smart."

"Fast station wagons are quintessentially Jalopnik because they’re as useful as they are artful. And while I almost always argue in favor of having a fleet cheaper specialized cars rather than a single expensive one that tries to do everything, the E63 S Wagon is so freaking good at all things that it becomes its own kind of novelty. And yeah, it’s fast as hell."

What’s Great

"If you have to ask why a station wagon with Thor’s hammer under the hood and a thunderclap to match coming out of its exhaust pipes is great, I’m not sure how you found your way to Jalopnik."

Nice article.

Has anyone tried to retrofit the 3rd row of seats?

I was planning to head to my dealership tomorrow, look at a E400 wagon they have with the jump seats and compare it to the space under the floor in my E63. I'm assuming they don't offer a jump seat in the E63S solely due to weight. If it doesn't look like they had to cut into or change the layout of the area I may head back to parts and see what it would take to add them.

I thought they didn't offer the third row seats to prevent kids from being thrown into the rear window on hard acceleration
