Kyle KloewerNov 25, 2012 4wd means less sliding like a yobo around corners but then what will Jeremy Clarkson buy? A jag?
Serge PankratovNov 21, 2012 Im not a huge AWD fan myself, but having something as powerful as an AMG Merc helle yeah id get it! Looks like Godzilla will have one more challenger out there :) cant wait to see what AMG will be ablo to do in AWD..
John SerelyNov 21, 2012 If they make it an option, then I love it! Where I live, rwd is great for a "fun car" but for a daily driver, the amount of snow and rain that we get makes awd worth the safety and the ease of getting around, even if it sacrifices a little
Alex RenaudNov 21, 2012 Kyle, some people will argue that an AWD system will weigh a car down, and that pure sports cars are (mid-engined) RWD.
Waleed AlshahriNov 21, 2012 Great,, that would control the madness of these mercs around the corners.
Dillon MageeNov 20, 2012 As long as they keep the RWD as an option, thats fine with me.
Jesse AndersenNov 20, 2012 American cars HAVE to be RWD. European you expect that thing to handle on ice at 170. I'm surprised they haven't been usin the 4matic or somethin for AWD.
Lou GuerreroNov 20, 2012 False. I see rich old folks in AMGs EVERYWHERE where I live.
Drew HumphreyNov 20, 2012 This actually makes sense. Many business executives won't buy a RWD Mercedes-Benz AMG. They'll get a BMW X-Drive because its safer but still fast and classy. By offering AWD, Mercedes-Benz might be able to bolster the sales in its high-performance brand, AMG. Boom.
Morgan DameNov 20, 2012 im pretty sure this is going to be an option so u can buy awd or rwd and ive known about the e63 will have awd and mid 3 sec 0-60, the c63 is going to have 525hp and possibly awd imagine that
Chad SchleyNov 20, 2012 It would be cool if you could deactivate the front drive with the push of a button.
With electronic differentials these days it would be possible.
So can have your big smokey burnouts, and your sub 4 second 0-60 time.
Josh AndrewsNov 20, 2012 Keep it rear wheel drive!!
Malachi MonteiroNov 20, 2012 I think the black series will be RWD still.
I dunno
Erich EngelNov 20, 2012 Probably so they can make the cars have ridiculous amounts of torque, and have them actually be able to utilize it on a road
Lucas HillNov 20, 2012 The AMG lineup will definitely be a lot faster but less fun
Matt PiccoloNov 20, 2012 I'd like if they offered it as an option, I'd b disappointed if the killed off the rwd though!! Big time
Lou GuerreroNov 20, 2012 No more big, smokey drifts.
JB KolodNov 20, 2012 Perhaps to combat the Audi RS models?
Ryan SpencerNov 20, 2012 The same raw power with some... Wait for it... TRACTION!? Hell yes I would... I hope they still offer RWD variants, as I still like me some standing burnouts.
Justin RouthNov 20, 2012 I dont like AWD. From the article it sounds like its just gonna be an option though
Matthew van der LindeNov 20, 2012 As long as its quite a rear-biased AWD, i'd still get an amg merc

Serge PankratovNov 21, 2012 I agree Sam.. I love the current E class.

Justin RouthNov 20, 2012 This is the only one that should have the option. Maybe e class too.. But like you said with all that power from the v12, plus its a S-class nobody's taking it to the track
Zaire WilkinsNov 20, 2012 this needs AWD badly 621hp bi turbo V12 is no joke
