Just Drove Home My New To Me 2020 E53 Coupe 4Matic

There was nothing wrong with my 2014 E350 Coupe 4Matic; it gave me seven years of terrific service. I only put 33K miles on it, so it wasn't in need of replacing.

But the tech has so improved. And I, like so many others, have a sweet spot for things AMG.

I had to drive 200 miles to get it, but it was worth it. A gorgeous, sunny day through some wonderful countryside and I found myself behind the wheel of a designo Cardinal Red / designo Black/Titanium Grey Pearl Nappa Leather upgrade. And what an upgrade! Not only does it have the AMG turbo, but it had $20,000 in options on top of the base model. Heated and cooled seats, steering wheel, Driver Assist, Dynamic headlights.. I can't name every add-on! But in the 200 mile drive home, I got to learn an awful lot about it.

My last E-class lasted me seven years. I wouldn't be surprised to get seven out of this one. Oh, photos? Yeah, it's a very poor one I took this evening as the sun was going down.


This shot doesn't do justice to the designo Cardinal Red.

Congrats, very nice. My wife tried to talk me into the cardinal red when I ordered my E63. It is a very attractive color for these. Hope you enjoy the ride and it brings lots of fun.
