Don’t get a fake AMG. “One man, one engine” doesn’t trickle down to the 53s
🙄
Porsche 911
Audi RS5
If you’re looking at an E53, I’d also look at the m550 or M850 (excluding full bore M versions). Significantly more power than the E and arguably better build quality. I’ve been a Mercedes/AMG guy for years but really felt like they fell off on models post 2015-2016. They no longer have that German bank vault feeling of solidity that BMW/Audi/Porsche still have.
I've got an E400 coupe, and I enjoy the car, but it is underpowered and heavy. In hindsight, I would have gotten the 4-door E63. A CLE 63 would be near perfect, but Mercedes won't cannibalize interest in the S 63 coupe.
If we are talking 2 doors only, I'd be looking at the M8.
In any case, it looks as though I might be getting my wish, and hopefully, they offer it in awd, unlike the C63 coupe. I had a feeling that the hybrid power train wouldn't be popular with the enthusiasts likely to be shopping AMG.
Nothing is confirmed, but I'll remain hopeful.

Or find an older E63 with a NA engine for a true AMG experience.
If you’re in the Sedan market, look at a Panamera or S7 also. Just my personal feeling, just prefer the newer Audis lately.

Honestly, can agree to some point. Have had three Audis since 2014 (A4, S3, Q7). The Q7 is a 2024 and the quality is MUCH better than the others. Build, tech, and feel are excellent.
Very interesting - not one in favor of the Benz…
Advice and guidance much appreciated. I shall have to reevaluate.
Gatekeeping aside, MB lacks the driving feel and performance of other sports cars or sport sedans. Mercedes excels at luxury and tech, if you want to drive a cloud, get a CLE/ E450.
If you want a real sports car, test drive a 718 (911 if you have more budget), C8 or Emira. If you need a back seat, M4
