    @darrell9616 Před 4 lety +5

    Hi Joe. Fun review as always. However, a couple of zonks from me on this one. First, you should drop the click bait titles. You didn't mention the A5 once in the entire review. Why ask a question that you had no intention of answering. Second, you have already reviewed the E53 AMG. Granted even it's not a full AMG, but that is the closest we have in NA. There was no compare/contrast with that model. My final point, I think that you should review cars in the context/market in which they compete. For this car, it is clearly meant to be a GT car. Compare it to other GT cars above and below its price range. You have driven several already while many of us have not. Your perspective would provide valuable input for those looking to purchase a vehicle in this category.
    I really appreciate the honesty and enthusiasm of your reviews. If you can just take that next step your content will be even better.

    E450 Coupe is closer to 4.9 secs in 0-60. Mercedes only says 5 flat so it doesn't enter the 4-second mark like their E53 coupe at 4.3 seconds.
