2012 E63 Wagon

Coming to the US in fall. 550hp/590tq 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 & seven-speed MCT gearbox.

What do you think?

I'm happy to see it back after being MIA since the 2009 W211 model year. I personally think the W212 exterior design looks better on the wagon than the sedan.

But it's too bad the performance option doesn't include the sport suspension on the wagon, and only in the sedan.

Ultimate sleeper

I think the design looks better in wagon form as well. The tail pipes still haven't grown on me.

I agree the E sedan rear end looks a bit Hyundai-ish. The wagon and especially the coupe are nice looking.


Would be nice to get any 5-series wagon in the US. I really dont like the GT but the F11 looks better than the F10 IMO.

Never saw any 211's with them in the US.

Still a freakishly scary place to experience 500(ish) HP.

They had third row seating, the 55 and the 63 (63 wagon was sold from 2007-2009.) I shopped for the wagon in 2009 and there was only one left (at WI Simonson in Santa Monica.) But it was white with beige interior and so I passed and ended up with a sedan. There were only 24 2009 wagons sold in the US. R&T did a road test with the 55 wagon and took the car to Irwindale, strapping in two kids in the rear facing seats. That's where that pic comes from.

"How fast in the AMG Wagon? Fast enough to fling the ice cream out of a well-packed cone. Fast enough to make you hit the recirculating air button to keep the smell of burning rubber from curling your nostrils. Fast enough to turn your securely fastened two-year-old into a Teletubby (Again! Again!). Fast enough to lure you out of your office for a quick spin to… anywhere. That's right: pistonhead catnip now comes in station wagon form. Go figure.

.....you can banish miniature miscreants to rear-facing, back-of-the-bus seats. And it's nice to know that the AMG Wagon is less likely to tip over than an Irishman after his first whiskey."

We are getting this in the fall!! MB USA only expects about 100 to be sold- just like the W211 AMG Wagon, so they will be super rare

Heres also a strange one....

there are actually 2 E AMG wagons in my home town in FL. One guy had his painted yellow from the factory and powdercoated his wheels black. Looks so mean.

Do you have any pics? I'd like to see it. MB/AMG has no paint to sample program like Porsche does, but they do have a Designo program. However, afaik, yellow has never been a paint option. AMG does have now have the AMG Production Studio in Affalterbach but not for the US bound cars. So the car is an extreme rarity if it's factory painted. Please try to get a pic, thanks.
