Thats the Mercedes way since the new C class. Very flashy interiors but all of the actual detail is cheap and nasty.

Is this car's main competitor the M8 GC/M8 Competition?
Here's a video showdown against the E63S. |

It is a pretty epic package. Got to see it in person in the São Paulo Auto Show. It is practically 2 cuts above the E63 S. It is still too big, bloated and heavy though. Not the type of car I would own. I think the M5 is a better package when you consider the massive size this thing has. It also has much better finish quality inside compared to the E63, (the buttons aren't cheap plastics, and the dinamica headliner is sensational. The seats and panels also have softer leather).
I did not get to see it in as much detail as Quickburn7 so I may have passed out on the cheap vents and horrible visibility. But the shape would suggest so. I also found the trunk pretty small for a hatchbacky type of car. The M5's trunk is at least 100 to 150l bigger. Nevertheless if I want a heavy, bloated giant, I would go for the Panny Turbo S with all options, considering these cars are the same price here. Not worth the money. |

I agree with the previous posters the quality of the materials in the interior is inferior, visibility is poor at best, it felt much smaller on the inside than the M5, I like the way it looks better than the M5 much more aggressive and I liked the sports car feel when I drove it, much more feel of the road than the M5, it feels like my AMG GTC edition 50 coupe on the road. When I priced one out with most of the options the MSRP was just north of 215k... Last edited by jeffscott1; 01-04-2019 at 08:21 AM.. |

I guess people who buy this car just really liked this car (like Pam Turbo S), since it offers no significant performance advantage over the M5, especially in the straight line (if at all) for much more money. But yes, it's aggressive look will check some people's boxes. |

Package in sports auto and so far has a much quicker ring time. A little premature to jump for joy ya think. |

EDIT: I also can't seem to find the M5 Comp Nurburgring time - only the standard F90 M5's. Last edited by vtknight; 01-29-2019 at 12:46 AM.. |
