As some of you may know, I’m currently mired in the search for a new car to replace my ancient Range Rover daily driver, which I’ve had for the last five years or more. One of the cars on my short list of Range Rover replacements is the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Wagon and while I can’t afford a newer 2014-2016 model, I’ve been eyeing them anyway, because they’re perfect for me: cool, high tech, all-wheel-drive (good for winter!) and exciting to drive.
So I found a nice E63 Wagon for sale on Autotrader, and I sent it to my friend Peri, and he replied: “You know that one has carbon ceramic brakes, right?” Apparently, the gold-colored calipers give it away.
Carbon ceramic brakes? In a luxury station wagon?
