Didn't they end the production already?

Yea, they're out of production, which makes it one of the rarest AMG's out there.

Together with the C 30 CDI AMG Sportcoupe.

I wonder why they even started that thing in the first place. An R63 AMG just screams POINTLESS.

You're right Christian!! It's absolutely incomprehensible why they ever start the production! In my opinion a CDI is the only engine that makes sense in such a vehicle, that is designed for long distance travelling!

Exactly. The R350, R500 and R63 AMG should never have been made. Anyone who wants a V8 in this car baffles me. I mean, what's the damn point of such a thirsty engine in an already overweight car?

Best R-Class? R320 CDI 4matic hands down. The R280 CDI is decent, but you get an extra punch with the '320 and roughly the same fuel economy.

Do they make the R320cdi in RWD only? In this case it is for me the best choice, who needs AWD in an R-Class? More weight, less mpg...

The R 320 CDI is the only R-Class, that is only available as 4matic!! The other ones can be ordered with RWD only.
