Oh Yes, There's A Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Wagon

Ah, the joys of forbidden fruit. Shortly after the leaked photos of the new C63 AMG were revealed, the official pics and specs were released – along with a tasty two-box treat.

The wagon bodystyle will, of course, not be offered in America. All-wheel drive doesn’t appear to be in the cards either, unlike recent AMG offerings. Unlike the BMW M3, the C63 will retain its V8 configuration, though no manual gearbox will be offered.

    Caramba! Mercedes AMGs, BMW M cars are the only reason I buy lottery tickets. If I ever hit the jackpot, I'd want that AWD Ferrari wagon with the V12 just to thumb my nose at the Ferraristas. But a tenth place payout and a C63 would be just fine. No luck in 40 years of trying. But the occasional daydream is worth a coupla bucks every now and then..

      You and me both wmba. There's an older lady who drives a black FF around downtown Toronto. I am really hoping that she'll notice the dashing young auto journalist in the grey Miata. A longer shot than your lottery ticket but a man can dream...

    Though this Merc is tasty, I'd still rather a RS6 Avant.

  • Lou_BC No. An EV would have to replace my primary vehicle. That means it has to be able to do everything my current vehicle does.
  • Bkojote @Lou_BC I don't know how broad of a difference in capability there is between 2 door and 4 door broncos or even Wranglers as I can't speak to that from experience. Generally the consensus is while a Tacoma/4Runner is ~10% less capable on 'difficult' trails they're significantly more pleasant to drive on the way to the trails and actually pleasant the other 90% of the time. I'm guessing the Trailhunter narrows that gap even more and is probably almost as capable as a 4 Door Bronco Sasquatch but significantly more pleasant/fuel efficient on the road. To wit, just about everyone in our group with a 4Runner bought a second set of wheels/tires for when it sees road duty. Everyone in our group with a Bronco bought a second vehicle...
  • Aja8888 No.
  • 2manyvettes Since all of my cars have V8 gas engines (with one exception, a V6) guess what my opinion is about a cheap EV. And there is even a Tesla supercharger all of a mile from my house.
  • Cla65691460 April 24 (Reuters) - A made-in-China electric vehicle will hit U.S. dealers this summer offering power and efficiency similar to the Tesla Model Y, the world's best-selling EV, but for about $8,000 less.
