inline 6 twin turbo 385 HP - the AMG performance exhaust package gives it a pretty good little rumble

interior is gorgeous, ergos very comfortable...ride quality is amazing

prob the best all-around car ive owned

Glad you like it. I have to wonder what you've owned before. AMG-branded Mercs are infamously hard-riding. You mostly been buying sports cars or pickups or some such (or--modern cars which virtually all ride hard anyway)? It better be fast, it wouldn't deserve the badge if it wasn't. Mercedes still has some actual pride.

Modern so-called "Cadillacs" piss me off so badly I could write a long rant entirely about those. That nameplate got sick circa 1981 and died circa 1994. All that's left is a long-dead zombie that GM refuses to allow to pass away gracefully. The modern incarnation of the brand has thrown away its crown and laurel wreath off its badge--a not-so-subtle admission that even the folks building them know they're junk. Bury it already.
