Re: SW or LW-B S63???

I've never driven the S63 AMG so I don't know how well it handles. I assume that, because of its weight, it can't be as good as a true sports cars. I think that this car was designed for long, relaxing, high-speed journeys on the Autobahn.
That being said, I'd rather be in the comfortable back seat of the LWB version.

I was about to say the exact opposite The SWB looks better to me.
For the AMG version, I suppose the SWB would be tad bit better; lighter and more nimble. And when you buy the AMG version, you always drive it yourself, so why bother with some extra rear seat space???

Same thoughts plus who needs more leg room in the back of a S63?? Unless your REALLY tall.

The S63 LWB looks out of proportion
