Mercedes Benz cars are always the best for me.

[BMWDRE]

I just LOVE how you calmly talk about the vehicle while carving out mountain roads. Dope!

[IamJay]

Ah yes another motoman video. Love waking up to these.

[patrickspino]

Absolutely fine presentation....TY! I can totally relate to Aunt Christine in the form of my Uncle Doc who insisted I drive his Bill Blass & Emilio Pucci editions of the Lincoln Continental coupe; was I in 7th heaven!!! I'll be transitioning from an E450 coupe to an E53 coupe later this year.

I have a 2021 Mercedes E53 AMG Sedan and I love it! Love the interior and love the performance.

[ascott]

I built an E53 & it came out to $88k ! Patagonia Red over Macchiato Beige/Titan Red ! Def not getting any dark colored interior when spending that much !
-Skipped the Burmester SS but def added ventilated seats, soft close doors and a few other opts !

Seriously, there are still ppl who want to chill out and be coddled when driving. This is def a GT Coupe 👏🏽

[davidpegler]

One of the best reviewers on the web, should have way more views. Excellent thank you!

[swiper]

Excellent summary as always and lovely commentary about your Aunt Christine and her Eldorado at the end

[rosstudisco]

My next car, probably pre owned. I’m driving a 2018 TT now, I don’t think I can go back to 4 door cars anymore. Thanks for the review!!

[sonofcain]

Such a beautifuly design car. It is a pity that this kind of cars are less common everyday

[timothybilecki]

Beautiful car, it’s a shame more people don’t buy these coupes.

[Dontae-iwld]

Bronz guy! Love it I watch your contant always 👍🏽

[bavariancarenthusiast]

So we have to thank Aunt Christine for your car passion? Elegant Coupés it is then :)
Thank you for sharing - great review as always!

[icanmanifest]

I think the point of the options of the carbon fiber the blacked-out trim is for those of us that really love the look of the full AMG hardcore performance models But realize their use case on Normal public roads is pretty Limited. Here you can have the looks you love with performance that makes more

[cgtc]

The Burmester High End is the best option that my E53 does not have.

[oririona]

This face lift looks better on the coupe it’s just so gorgeous and my goodness it sounds good oh sweet baby Jesus.

[SeenaTabatabai]

The V8 is lower gas millage and the road is not a race track, 4 sec 0-60 is more then enough speed.

[marcovanni]

The E63S is the exciting one to drive and don’t need that much options. Good review

[playersclubcars]

These E53 coupes look sharp at all angles. The pano roof is a nice touch⭐️🚙

My Intro to Elegant American Coupe came in 1971, when two doors up from our home our CPA neighbor let me sit behind the wheel of his MARK III Lincoln Continental. Then he opened the hood, and all I saw was engine, engine, engine (460 V-8). However, in my heart, it could not compete with our middle neighbor's 70' Plymouth Superbird. By comparison, my dad drove a seemingly lowly 70' Ford Torino GT. His secret sauce though, was an engine Bore and stroke increased. How much? You ask! I don't know. All I know is when he smashed the gas, and released the clutch, all I could see from the passenger seat was sky, just like in my neighbor's Superbird. Elegant coupes such as the E53 are nice to drive, but as for me at 61', I'll take a Mustang Shelby GT 500. It would make my dad proud.
