Re: Car & Driver - Road Test: E63 Touring - 11-05-2006, 02:36 PM

Well you can be sure the roar of this engine will mute out the kids fighting in the backseat!

I'd have a really tough time decided between the E63 and E63 Touring if there was a poll up here. I'm not too fussed about the brutal acceleration numbers and the fact that they're improved over the E55, because seriously the E55 was fast enough for me anyway.

Im lovin' this line: ...and happy to drop a couple gears, making passing on a two-lane so fun you’ll want to pull over and let everyone by, just to do it again.

I though I'd put C&D's CLS63 figures and info' up too. I'm still puzzled as to how the E63 Touring manages to do the 0-60mph, 0-100mph and Standing ¼-mile sprints quicker than the CLS63 when the E63T has a higher curb weight..?
