E53 AMG Coupe

[rage2]

It’s still a couple years away. They teased it with the GT 4 door concept. 600hp from the V8, 200hp from electric.

Sounds novel

Canada gets the C43 Wagon this year. 400hp, basically the old 43 V6 motor but with a bigger turbo that was standard in the E43.

That may tie me over until 53 engine comes to next gen C class.

Yea. Only complaint is the small window in the back, but it's mostly open with the front and rear windows down.

Congrats Shelton. Looks incredible. Looking forward to the detailed review.

Congrats Rage! I actually really like the new styling in the rear, looking forward to the first impression

Dropped off to get wrapped and winters installed. Will have more pics on Tuesday once I get it back. Drove it a couple km's to Integra Tire, farts as much as I do on shifts and overrun, damn quick off the line with the EQ boost, good top end power. It's no 63 in terms of brute force, but it feels really quick through traffic and out of corners.

I went and sat in the one they had in the showroom on the weekend (after spending the morning at Lexus I needed my AMG fix).

Really nice car, doesn’t feel too big. Just a little nicer in every way than the C class. Not sure how I feel about full digital gauges but such is life. Very refined and feels like a bit more special than the 400.

Was very tempted to take the CLS53 demo for a spin but I have no intention of buying one. Was mostly enamoured with the G550 4x4-2 in the showroom.

I'm not allowing myself to go on the sales side of the Mercedes stores right now.

alright...pick me out a new car, and it's a deal. haha

I was looking at GLC63s...but I dunno. The C43 wagon seems okay, but it's missing a lot of the fun AMG bits.

E63 wagon is too big for me, I think, for just city use...and nearing a refresh.

G550 4x4 is the obvious option. And it comes in your favorite colour.

is that the new one? I hear its a lot better.

[killramos]

Oh it’s better alright

[rage2]

So many refreshes coming...

2020 GLE new model with real interior. MBUX touchscreen
2020 GLC refresh with better interior (matches C class). MBUX touchscreen
2021 E class refresh with better interior. MBUX touchscreen update

Seriously, my only complaint is no touchscreen. Apple CarPlay without touch is fucking insane.

Current GLC63 is bad ass. Looks amazing. Silly money for it though.

I test drove the GLC63 coupe...really liked it. I actually even liked the coupe styling, which i never do on SUVs.

Sounds like you're all set then.

I think those are great, but for some reason like the regular GLC63 better. Moot point since I can't afford either one haha.

[killramos]

Do they make the 63S in the non coupe now?
