AMG's bi-turbo V8 is in my opinion a class benchmark when it comes to exhausts notes, and is incredibly smooth and powerful. Interior is nicely modern and flashy, but styling inside and out will always be subjective. Its a very fun vehicle, I encourage you drive one when you can.
Thanks for this, Im going to have to drive it soon. I had the Edition 1 2018 E63S and while I enjoyed it; I like the F90 that much more so this car will really have to impress.
As much as I love the M5 and the E63S/AMG-GT4D, if there's one car I really love in this class, its the Cadillac CTS-V. Its just so raw and engaging, and has an excellent 6.2L Supercharged V8. It doesn't have the luxury or as well of a livability of the Germans, but one of my friends/co-worker has one, and he let me drive it for a road trip, and it spoiled every other car for me

Its a pretty good looking sedan too, he has one in gray like the photo below. Honestly Cadillac's V-Sport division is doing some good work, or at least was, before the latest downgrade of the CT5-V and CT4-V, looks like "V" is being replaced with "Blackwing?"
