Just when we thought the automotive world was falling to the dreaded c-word – yes, crossover – Mercedes AMG drops a 600 horsepower, rear-biased all-wheel-drive wagon. Appearing to be loaded to the gills with go-fast goodies, this long wheel base monster will definitely hold up to the E63 name. All this power goes through a nine-speed wet-clutch automatic and although, this isn’t a rear-wheel drive car, we’re confident you can chirp the tires on this grocery getter. Long live the wagon.
